This is the problem with some of these movies. I prefer big budget spoofs (Mars Attacks) to big budget B movies (ID). It was ok and had its moments, but I think watching it one time was enough for me.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->


I think we've had this discussion before, but Mars Attacks actually pissed me off I hated it so much.

You're an idiot, and worth very little.

Yes, it's sterling "52" rating at metacritic.com shows I'm a lone wolf crying out in the darkness on this.

52% for Mars Attacks vs 59% for Independence Day isn't such a huge difference. Plus most critics are humorless snobs, so metacritic doesn't do much for me, and neither do tomatometer ratings.

Are you kidding me? The fact that a Roland Emmerich film did better than a Tim Burton film, WITH THE CRITICS, makes it a HUGE difference. One is a hack churning out popular entertainment for the masses, one is an artiste, supposedly making films for critics.

Besides, my point wasn't to show the ID4 was better than Mars Attacks, simply that the movie was pretty fucking unloved by quite a few people. It's not like I'm trying to explain why Citizen Kane was horribly flawed.
