American arrogance in a most hilarious comedy.

Rating: 7/10 (12 September 2001)

One of the funniest movies that have been made into blockbusters.We are supposed to believe so many stupid things I don't think anybody can stop himself laughing outloud.To name but a few:1)A major saucer is targeting every world capital and New York.That would be 194 saucers!(2 of them over Rome to take down Rome and the Vatican!).2)The guys that find a way to destroy the alien main computer are American amatures.C'mon give the Japanese a computer and some time and they can do anything.Remember who influence technology today on a global base.3)The pilots who fight the aliens at the end are mostly civilians.How could they have stayed alive when the best military pilots in the world(such as the Israelians)are deceased?4)The only British armies left are in Iraq?How could this ever be possible?5)The presidents speech.Some say every non-American should feel nausea hearing this.I can name at least two nationalities that should feel much more:a)The British.On 4th of July their ex-colony celebrates it's independance from Britain.How could any British think he should celebrate that day?b)The French.If it weren't for the French and Lafayette they wouldn't be any Indepedence to celebrate in the first place.Funny their only mention in the film presents them as losers.No gratitude at all.How could any French feel good about it?So the president's speech at this point should infuriate the British and the French and sicken all the others.Bah!They go and fight like good Americans.Can anybody take this movie seriously?
