Not a good alien film, but not an awful one

Rating: 4/10 (30 October 2006)

I can't believe some people give this a 10/10. It is not that sort of film. If you are looking for some intense action sequences, decent special effects, a below average story with average / below average acting, and a whole film that quite simply promotes the idea that Americans are Gods and should be worshipped by every other nation, this is your film. Bill Pullman's speech as president was awful. Will Smith's character unbelievable. Subplots all overworked. The idea of Jeff Goldblum's character is quite ridiculous. And basically the film is overlong. It's OK to watch once, not the worst film I have ever seen, but not what people say. 5 / 10
Btw if you are into alien films i recommend these GOOD ones: -The Forgotten -War of the Worlds -Alien -Aliens and one of the best -Signs
