Creative, Riviting and Poginient

Rating: Null/10 (21 January 2004)

What a bunch of crap!! I had been forced (and I mean FORCED) to watch this movie on at least 8 seperate occasions by various people and each time it has been more painful. But at least it gave me the opportunity to delve deeper into this mire. For instance, the President is wrong on every occasion and the only man giving him the right advise (his advisor "deniable plausability") is sacked. His speech about "this independence day" is delivered to trailer trash. He enters a contained room with a spaceship because he is the president despite the protests of the more intelligent scientist. Oh, s***, what am I doing? I am actually discussing this movie. Shame! Shame! Tell you what. Get a copy of "Mars attacks" instead, its more realistic. I cannot give a rating of 0 out of 10 for a movie as every movie has some merits and enjoyable moments. To give it a 0 rating would mean it is devoid of anything but mindless drivil which, given the writing team and directors would be insulting. However, it does have amble advertisments for SKY news (even though the satalites are apparently been knocked out) and this in itself would merit the 0 rating. But let's be serious. The effects are good and we do kick E.T.'s butt so my rating for this movie would be 0 out of 10.
