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?

    It may be an unpopular opinion but I feel like Independence Day was a masterpiece. This film is 27 years old and the CGI graphics that were used were incredible for the times. If you tried to watch a 27 year old movie in the 90s it was so painful. Sure there were some cheesy parts but my wife and I still watch this every 4th of July. We even went back and watched it on the big screen a few years back. I will always love it!
