Was it worth it?

Rating: 1/10 (7 August 2000)

This movie makes my skin crawl. It is just a formula Hollywood blockbuster, with more gloss than most, that has the Hollywood perception that America is all conquering. 'Don't worry, the world is being attacked by (bad) aliens, but America (the good guys) will save the day'. Who, or what, would dare to beat the great USA, after all good always wins over evil. This is not the only movie to convey this message, it is just that Independence Day is so in your face. The movie had an enormous budget and was extremely over hyped.
