[Closed] Independence Day: Resurgence

Thanks - looks promising!

Looks about as good as the first one

Hmmm, looks ok but shame no will smith

Where is Will Smith?

He felt that he peaked with After Earth

Could have done without that stupid speech, which suggests it's going to be no better than the first.

Apparently Mr Smith got killed working as a test pilot and that's why he is not in the movie. I just reckon that the studio realised he can't blooming well act.

Can anybody name me a sequel which has been better than the original? Because otherwise I have a new worst ever film (though to be fair, that's worst film I've ever watched, and won't be making that mistake again)

Aliens

I quite liked the first one, it was all rather tongue in cheek slapstick bigscreen entertainment.

This on the other hand looks like it takes itself way too seriously and is rather bobbins.

First was brilliant, this looks, sadly, like a pile of taking-itself-too-seriously poo!

Empire Strikes Back

Godfather Part II

There are some things where the parody was so good that a remake of the original is impossible.

Highlander 2.

The Harry Potter series got sort of alright after about 4 films.

Bourne supremacy

TBH i always assumed the first was just an utter piss take from start to finish* and the speech about the worlds independence day and the world being saved by an alien conspiracists who had been probed was the clincher.

* Possibly a hollywood bet to show what shit yu could serve up to muppets.

Looks dull, predictable and anodyne. I'm waiting for the Detectorists to come out as a full-length feature film.

Mad Max 2

The Dark Knight

well I'm pleased to find I've sent the thread off on a more worthwhile tangent 😉

I wonder how Jeff is going to beat them this time round, surely they'll have installed AVG following their last encounter.

Looks bloody Ace to me.

Can't wait.. 😀

He'll have an App. On his watch. Probably

Toy story 3 is the best of the lot.
Despicable Me 2 was better then the first one too.

This looks ok. The original was ok the first time you saw it. It isn't a film that works well with repeated viewings.
How people can comment the shines of Will Smiths acting and not say the same about Jeff Goldblum is a mystery to me.

Terminator 2

I wonder how Jeff is going to beat them this time round, surely they'll have installed AVG following their last encounter.

Jaws 2 😉

Terminator 2

Madness, have a long, hard look at yourself.

Independence Day is one of the worst films ever made. Complete and utter pish.

This will be even worse.

Nail on head .

He won't - he'll try and install the USB key with the virus on and realise they've upgraded to USB3 ports and running MacOS...

Thankfully he'll crack their passwords by guessing the mighty leader is called Brian123 and start up iTunes which will bring their entire cunning plans grinding to a halt.

Nearly 20 years on and any few million dollar SciFi movie ends up looking like a B Movie.

The New one just looks like they have gone all out to straight out make a big budget B Movie. Much like Battleship or similar.

This is IMHO AWESOME!

You do realise it's not the special effects we think is rubbish?

Its not just the special effects that make a B Movie a B Movie! 😆

The Wrath of Khan.

What do I think of Independence Day II? I'll wait until it appears on Netflix.

T2 is in no way better then Terminator. In fact they are 2 different genres.

Empire Strikes Back a better film? I know its popular to say so but really it wasn't - having gone to the cinema to see Star Wars on the week it was released I can honestly say it was a game changer. ESB was just another good sci fi film. Looking at them side by side now is a different frame of reference.

An example of a better sequal than original would be The Good, The bad and the Ugly.

...and independance day was utter dross

In fact they are 2 different genres.

Lol - you're right! However Terminator was in a genre of films I like and T2 was typical unoriginal US high budget blockbuster nonsense (bit like Independance Day)

That is going to make [b]Pacific Rim[/b] and [b]Jupiter Ascending[/b] look fantastic.

Corr blimey, whats wrong with the Original film you lot..
Pish it ain't.

What are you/would you expect from a film?

Real life handy cam footage or something 🙄

It's an entertainment film, and it does that - entertain.

And it did have a great one liner in it 🙂

I thought it was Yes2.

I'll just leave this here...

& this....

That Star Trek trailer makes me a bit sad.
That Justin Lin guy just doesn't know when to stop with trying to make the action 'bigger'. It's not interesting if there are apparently no limits to what can happen, it just becomes a cartoon then.

Empire...

Cannonball run 2

... hmm .. when can I watch them on telly for free? 😮

[s]Independence Day[/s] Highlander 2 is one of the worst films ever made. Complete and utter pish.

It does look poor to be honest.

However, there's too much Independence Day slander in this thread.

This is a film where Will Smith, one of the finest movie stars of his generation, punches an alien in the face then says BOTH "Welcome to earth!" and "Now that's what I call a close encounter".

How can you not like that?

How can we make it better?

More explosions!!! Bigger battles!!!

What about character development, & story?

More explosions!!! Bigger battles!!!

That star trek trailer really does look disastrous 🙁

Sorry to derail the threadjacking, but I find it hard to believe the aliens would choose to return on exactly the same day of the year.

[quote=wordnumb ]I find it hard to believe the aliens would choose to return on exactly the same day of the year.

I'm sure the rest of the film is totally realistic though, just like the original.

That Star Trek trailer makes me a bit sad.

Agree. I thought the Beastie Boys weren't licensing their music for advertising.

Whoever chose 'sabotage' for the soundtrack to that trailer deserves a medal

Apparently Mr Smith wanted A shed load of cash and his son in the movie (After Earth P2 anyone) The producers thankfully said no 🙂

So they did this.

Could have done without that stupid speech,

that [i]is[/i] the quote from the first film. 'Revisited'.

Cheer up you miseries. The first one was a laugh.

that is the quote from the first film. 'Revisited'.

Is it? I always turn off when it comes to that point in the original 😆

Corr blimey, whats wrong with the Original film you lot..
Pish it ain't.

I can't think of another instance where I've been sitting in a cinema with an audience that is heckling the film.

I take it you have never sat through Silverado?

Iron Man 2

the speech from the first film is awesomes

it can only BE better without Will Smith -

dont think they are coming back on the same day.........

i wonder if the Whitehouse gets blown up in this one - seems its the done thing now to blow up the Whitehouse in movies !
