It's Bad, And Its Good.

Rating: 6/10 (30 May 2014)

Independence Day is one of those cult classics, in my opinion. There are some many things wrong with this movie, but because of that it is memorable and, in an odd sense, enjoyable. The plot is basic, the dialogue is painful and the characters are all over the place, a common attribute of Roland Emmerich. Even the action is somewhat dull (except for the destruction of the big cities by the alien ships, that stuff was pure awesomeness). Besides all the hate, it is very lovable after you peel away the awful outer layer. It's really painful, but it is perfect in the eyes of those who can see it's horrific nature and relish in that fact.
