What are you all complaining about?

Rating: 8/10 (27 October 2005)

I've noticed this a lot with films that make a lot of money - people seem to HATE them. Not just a small amount of dislike, real hatred. Why though? I saw this film years ago, as a child, and I'm NOT American, so the patriotism thing really should get to me... right? Sorry, but I'm able to look past that and see a good movie. People have a go at the script - but it works. There are some plot holes, but have you ever seen a film without one? People have a go at the acting - I saw nothing wrong with it. People say it's very 'God Bless America' and yes it is, but if it was 'God Bless The World' people would complain that it wasn't 'God Bless America' so really, look past that. It's got amazing special effects, great action, funny lines (Welcome to Earth is the best line ever! Though we have a family habit of repeating it every time we see an alien movie...), and it's a good film.
It's not worth 10 out of 10 because it's not THAT good. But people are giving it 1 out of ten, and I have to say, come on, get over yourselves, it wasn't that bad.
Anyway, it's not like any big budget movie has escaped the 'Haters'.
See it, turn the volume up, laugh a bit, don't take it seriously. Enjoy it.
