Special effects does not make a film. Buscemi does

Rating: 3/10 (7 December 1998)

After an half hour quite good, fun. The film goes in the recurrent default of American blockbusters today : we can't do anything without Americans. They're here to save the world. The beginning was quite cool. You see about ten guys all unable mentally to behave, fat, bad shaved, smelly. And they're going to save us.
After that, they go in the space, Bruce Willis sacrifices himself and Ben Affleck gets married with Liv Tyler. The end. It's too short to make a film. Michael Bay gives us his personnal vision of the rest of the world. Just stereotypes, postcards of China, India, France...Who expects USA to save the World. There are no surprises. You know at the beginning everything what will happen. Bruce Willis saves the world but Steve Buscemi saves the film with his sense of humour and way of acting. He's the only surprise. You spend your time to ask yourslef why Michael Bay films like that. The views are very ugly. he tores the camera, he puts tear-panda-music and he thinks it can make a film. Michael Bay can thank Steve Buscemi without this "thing" would have been worse than "Godzilla", "Independance day" and "Stargate" reunited.
This movie sucks.
