Yeah, it's a fun movie, but all through my first viewing of it, I couldn't stop thinking, "OK, that's War of the Worlds...and that's V...and that's Alien/Aliens...and that's X-Files...and that's Star Wars..." and so on.<br /><br />No strong desire to see the sequel.Dennis Laffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053699552003336733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255299705122830812.post-90274746104249105352017-04-10T08:34:25.834+09:002017-04-10T08:34:25.834+09:00I'd give the Independence Day sequel the low b...I'd give the Independence Day sequel the low bar.

TOHO will regret letting hollywood use their monsters.Lee Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698873084592329937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255299705122830812.post-74377140881606242762017-03-13T18:05:41.384+09:002017-03-13T18:05:41.384+09:00It's setting up two sequels - the next Godzill...It's setting up two sequels - the next Godzilla movie, and then a future encounter between Godzilla and Kong.<br /><br />Kaptain Koboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082772546044655044noreply@blogger.com
