I like action adventure movies!
And Independence Day II does fail on that score! Lots of action and adventure!
But, I like a story with my action and adventure, and well, the movie falls apart there. It is sort of like Jurassic Park movies: dinosaur appears, how cute!, then come the crunching and munching and screams! Flying saucer movies are in the same genre: UFO appears, people die, governments scramble to repel the invasion, and only the heroes survive!
Wait which movie am I talking about? Oh yeah, the sequel! Not much different than the first one, other than Will Smith failed to make an appearance. His loss, we ended up with a fine film without him but his smart ass demeanor would have made for a better film.
Jeff Goldbloom whom fails at acting except in Jurassic anything, held the film together but he was nowhere as much fun. The director should have known better than to try and get "drama" out of him! Gees! Has he never seen a Jeff Goldbloom bomb before?!?!?!?!?
I strongly recommend this film if you are into action adventure and fantasy Sci-Fi.
If you are more Earth bound, well perhaps a Steven Segal or Chuck Norris action adventure fantasy film would be more comforting and still be just as unbelievable!
For me, it is an owner, pure and simple and if you have a cheap theater in town - worth seeing on the big screen!
