Could this movie be anymore stupid?

Rating: 1/10 (8 August 2003)

If there was a contest to show one country's cliché and stereotypes in a feature film, and doing it without anyone involved in the creation process realizing it, I believe ID4 would win hands down.
Everything in that movie reeks of stupidity...well, mostly the plotline and the dialog, but the actors go along with it and, even if it pays the rent (of their palaces) it must be hard sometimes to brush your morale standard under the rug for the brainlessness of that movie. To put things into perspective, since I write this comment almost seven years after the movie came out, I find it pretty amusing that this movie coins some of the most outrageous and ass-inine (hyphen on purpose) ideas ever developped for a motion picture such as using a mac to spread a computer virus onto an alien spacecraft, or showing aliens sustaining bullet wounds without so much as a blink and be knocked out for several hours with a single punch in the face or also - last one, I promise - the president of the US hopping into an f18 and flying like his last flight was yesterday...while no one questions why, yes WHY he knows how to fly one of these birds...
In summary, I think ID4 deserves to be #1 of the bottom 100 chart. Yup, even worse than from Justin to Kelly because the latter is shameless and open about its mediocrity, riding on just enough hype to last through the summer and appeal to acne-ridden teens, but at least it's honest and it's not trying to treat the audience as a mindless pack of idiots incapable of realizing the 2 hour long shortcoming that ID4 represents.
