I guess Emmerich is just an ostensible optimist

Rating: 10/10 (15 March 2018)

I'm truly fascinated with how many reviews of this movie start off acknowledging that as a Roland Emmerich vehicle, they went in expecting cheesy dialogue, terrible characters and spectacular visuals.... and then appear utterly SHOCKED that they had to sit through a movie with cheesy dialogue, terrible characters and spectacular visuals. Honestly, I would probably be pretty PO'd too if I was stupid enough to pay see a movie of this nature in its release. You put on a movie like this when you want to kill a few hours with some mindless action and good CGI. You don't go to see a movie you expect to be bad and then write reviews of it patting yourself on the back for your observation. Leave Roland alone.
