Seriously Overrated

Rating: 3/10 (1 July 2019)

Introduction:
I hate Independence Day. There's no originality, it's filled with cliches, the characters are stereotypes of stereotypes. It's just a very stupid action movie, that makes absolutely no sense.
The Good:
Let's start with the good, the very little there is. The film's action is fun to watch, and Will Smith is descent in his role, even if his character has no character, and I think the alien designs are the most creative thing in the film.
The Bad:
As I mentioned before, the film has an incredible lack of originality. The story is your generic aliens try and take the world story, just dumber. As the characters make stupid decisions, like letting the president go into battle. The Roswell UFO Crash being real. The film is just really dumb, and many might say, it's meant to be stupid. Well, if it wanted my brain to hurt, it succeeded. The film is almost intelligence insulting. And here's something, people hate on Battle Los Angeles, a terrible movie, for the same reason they like Independence Day.
The characters are also uninteresting, just saying catchphrases, and being stereotypes. Like Jeff Goldblum is a Jewish stereotype, Will Smith is a black stereotype. The actors are clearly not trying, and the film just feels like no effort is put into it. The aliens are also just generic, they have no character, and they're just evil. And I wouldn't mind so much, if the creators weren't trying to make an original alien invasion film.
I just don't get it! What's the love for this film? There are so many better action and science fiction films. This one barely stands out. It's just another stupid movie. And I can kind of understand somebody liking it. It's dumb. Everyone has a guilty-pleasure. But there are so many people that enjoy this film. And that's what I don't get.
Conclusion:
Well, I've probably put more effort into this review, than the writers put into the movie. It's not very good. I can't stand this film, it's lazy, it's stupid, and it's cliche. There is nothing original about it, and I don't get it.
