Just what we need a sequel to a film that sucked. Emmerich & Devil are a couple of Hollywood hacks. I'll never forgive them for that awful 1998 Fakezilla movie.

Good lord, that movie was horrible.
But you know what I've been wondering about lately?
Will Smiff's & Jada's marriage.
Does anybody know if it's still intact?

yay! i loved that movie. allll the right ingredients. and, will smith will fight them off again, maybe with duct tape this time. don't worry, we'll be okay.

Really? I enjoyed it.

Sequels? with a 's'? Dear Lawd. How many alien evasion can they take, the last batch did a pretty good job of tearing up stuff, every country went broke trying to fix it. It's been a while since I've seen the movie.

ID4 is a yearly viewing tradition around the 4th of July. I'm not getting excited about the prospect of sequels. This should have happened at 10-15 years ago. It will not be worth it if half of the original cast is not in it.

Emmerich said that plans for a sequel were halted after 9/11, for obvious reasons

the idea of this first sequel seems intriguing: more aliens of the same race are heading out to our planet...why not? it's kind of scary to defeat an alien race but at the same time not being able to celebrate it cuz Earth is practically destroyed and there could be more hostile aliens out there...

I remember liking the first half of the original film, it was an irrelevant alien-invasion movie, sure, but very entertaining; but once the Area 51 appeared the movie went downhill, the "freedom" speech was jingoistic BULLSHIT (completely out of place during the Clinton era) and the "let's defeat their defenses with a computer virus" LAME AS HELL

so it's a half-good/half-awful aliens movie

i loved it too! and I saw it for free a few days early! happened to be driving past a theater saw a line... asked what was up... got in line...loved it! (but then again i tried to watch it a few years ago...and I got 20 mins in and turned it off)

what I want to know is... when all those ships crashed to earth how many millions of people were killed? seems several major cities would be destroyed...?

I thought that mother ship was th ewhole race encomassed? the one they uploaded the virus to..thats how they made it sound by stating thru telepathy that they just are like locusts..swarming planets and taking the natural resources

anyways they will have to step up their game in the special effects dept which they will if this craziness ever gets made

and those criticizing ID..I onder if they saw it in a theater in its initial release cause that shit was da bomb back then!

and 2012 is great..harkens back to the disaster films of yore..the ones with the movie posters with all the actors in little boxes on the bottom...some Irwin Allen shit

thats entertainment!

(yall didnt laugh when the Rusky told the car to turn on by his voice in 2012?)

I enjoyed this awful film.

But there is no way these sequels are not going to look like video games gone wrong.

And it will only have a small chance of being successful if Will Smith is in it. With out Will Smith, it will certainly tank.

Even an actor (Will Smith) cant save a crappy film. That was my point.

Bad directing, over the top special effects, with a bad script can derail any film.

But the film will flop with out Will Smith in it. (Will Smith has to be in it, to save the day and the film!)

oh, Will Smith will be in it, that's obvious

he was in Men in Black 2, Bad Boys 2 and Men in Black 3 for crying out loud

he knows he's a blockbuster star, I guess he's had enough of all those "serious drama" flops he made during the second half of the '00s

YAHOOOO!!!! I hope Jeff Goldblum comes back

The only thing enjoyable about the first film were Bill Pullman's forearms. I'm far less invested in them now.

Damn the execs at Hollywood are this lazy?

I god DAMN loved this movie, but no sequels! Nooooo Will Smith *beats away with a stick*

I am so not excited by this. It's like been too long to care, 17 years. Do something else, already.

Lets see how Will Smith will incorparate his son into this.
