Another classic movie destroyed by children

Rating: 3/10 (22 November 2019)

One of my favorites prior to whining little girl and idiot teen boy. Imagine a 15 yr old seeing the superiority of alien invaders deciding to run into battle with nothing but his attitude. A battle that sent the military running and mostly dying, but miraculously he survives. Some brain in Hollywood thought this a grand and believable notion. Unfortunately, I'm sure this brain is probably still employed.
One could make the argument that Ms Fanning's reactions were totally reasonable given the alien invasion she witnessed. However, that does not make it entertaining. And it was not, at all.
Just as Jurassic World, I was hoping the dinosaur would chow down on those irritating kids, please! No such luck. No hungry dinos here but one hoped the boy would learn just how stupid he was, just prior to an ugly end. No such luck.
When will directors learn that whiny, crying children, though possibly realistic, are NOT entertaining.
