"Forget the fat lady, you're obsessed with fat lady, just drive!"

Rating: 10/10 (25 February 2008)

This movie is one of my personal favorites. I loved it the second I first saw it, and my appreciation for it has not dropped at all in 8 years. I don't understand why people rate this movie so low, it deserves much higher than 6.3 (2/25/08). I know what the most common thought on why this movie is rated so low is: "Why is America the only country taking any action?" Well, to answer that stupid question, it isn't. If you weren't so busy criticizing this movie you'd notice that other countries have taken the same affirmative action that America has. "Why didn't other countries go into space?" Because America was the only country to have an alien ship in full tact on their soil, duh. And no, they weren't going to wait until astronauts came form other countries to fly the thing, if you listened, the general said "36 hours until world destruction", so why waste time? The characters in this movie were great, the storyline was also. The effects were excellent. This movie is a classic, and should be watched more rather than criticized for stupid reasons. 10/10
