The first one was cheesy popcorn with great SFX that’s (mostly) held up over 20 years. The second one? Unwatchable. Someone should have punched Roland Emmerich when he brought up the sequel and said ‘Welcome to Earth.’
That’s my take. What’s yours?

Mine is going to be kind of strange…
My friend and I went to Grant Park mall in Winnipeg in 1996 to see the original Independence Day. We were at the scene where Jeff and Will had flown up to the mothership and were about to launch the bomb. The missile fires, starts ripping through the mothership and the whole theatre goes black.
The theatre erupted in cheers and applause at this amazing audience emersion! It turns out Winnipeg had just had one of the worst hail storms in years, and power was out everywhere.
Best timing of a hail storm ever.
