Now that the memesquad has declared their hate for Independence Day, how many of you are going to pretend you also secretly hated it all along?

I liked it when I was 12 and hated it when I saw it again a couple months ago. It's not a movie an adult with self respect could like.

I watched that one guy review the Star Wars prequels and I agreed with a lot of things. Then I checked out one other video by RLM and they just come off as pretentious assholes.

I watched about five minutes of OP's video and clicked it off because it's just them sitting there chuckling to themselves "this movie is STUPID, made for idiots heh heh".

Like a lot of Will Smith movies, its an enjoyable but insanely stupid movie.

Mike likes Jurassic World, which is just as dumb as this movie, and in some ways is even dumber.

Jay always talks about how he likes practical effects and the use of miniatures, which this movies has out the ass.

I don't take their opinions on movies too seriously.

Jim Norton's dissection of it killed the movie for me years ago

if you liked id4 and the prequels it's your opinion that's objectively shit

Even though I want Jay to impregnate me I'll always like this movie. Even as a kid I knew it wasn't the best piece of work, but it was just fun. It's the only acceptable "turn off your brain and just enjoy it" movie because it's what kicked off the over saturated dumb popcorn movies we have had.

Jay plz b mine, bb.
>>
>>71207887
this. by the end of the review he basically says the reason why some schlock is acceptable and why other schlock isn't is entirely subjective, but he doesn't go any deeper than that. it just makes their dislike for id4 seem arbitrary.

It's the only acceptable one because it spawned endless shitty movies?

So did Star Wars (yes, the Prequels actually had even more miniatures than the OT, go figure).

They are hacks, just like all "le angry guy critic" Internet "celebrities".

Honestly the Red Letter Media guys are funny as hell and have some valid points on stuff.
But after watching a ton of their videos, I truly question their full understanding of cinema as a whole.

But Nostalgia Critic already said he hated it like 5 years ago or more so everyone already does hate.

Their review didn't even seem to hate the movie, they praised a lot of it and defended it.

They just seem to have a problem that it started a trend towards every movie being huge special effects blockbusters.

The ONLY thing I hated with this movie, and still do, is the "muh independence day" speech. I cringed in the theatre and still do every time I watch the movie.

I don't think anyone ever actually liked this movie. It was just a summer flick with some good eye candy like Speed Racer. Then add in all the boomer adults who took their kids and their kids' friends to see it because muh patriotism.
At least Mars Attacks played up the humor aspect..I want a sequel to that instead.

Escape is boring as fuck. Snake does absolutely nothing the entire film. The only good thing about it is the score. All Carpenter movies suck except The Thing, ItMoM, and certain parts of They Live.

armageddon is good too.

I grew up on Carpenter movies and have hated NY for literally decades before they reviewed it. I always give Carpenter a chance because he always has moments of brilliance even in his worst films, but I'm always disappointed more than impressed every single time.

>>71206382

You must have the memory of a goldfish. People have been bashing it since release just like Episode 1.

What they should have said is that ID4 is an incredibly dated movie, in terms of storytelling, plot, visuals, and pretty much everything else. It was made 20 years ago and the mid 90s wereone of the worst periods for movies, despite what the nostalgiababbies here might say.

It's the same composer, there are obviously going to be similarities. Stargate is another excellent score.
>>
I never got why my dad liked it that much when I was a kid. I have nothing but apathy for the movie. It was on TV a couple months ago when I was visiting family and I couldn't believe how bad it was. I honestly forgot entirely about the President's wife and Will Smith's wife subplot. And I joked pretty heavily with my family about the scene where everyone in the world is like, "Those bloody Americans have figured it out! We'll wait for their go ahead!"
>>
>>71206382
It was a great movie when it came out.
>>
I still love the movie. I rewatched it a couple weeks ago and still laughed when Will Smith punch the alien and said "Welcome to earth." The whole movie is an enjoyable America-first cheese fest.

Mike and Jay even admitted in the review that there's some schlock that's just like ID that they like and it's hard to describe why they dislike this one. Of course, they say they're right but I think I'm right when I say that Jurassic World sucks but Mike liked it (inexplicably).

I still thought their ID review was hilarious. That's the whole reason i watch them.

THIS TITLE MAKES NO SENSE
Independence Day isn't 4
It's July 4th
Or 7/4
The number 4 alone has never meant Independence Day. And even if it did, ID4 is still retarded

The movie had some very well made toys.
