We weren’t expecting Independence Day: Resurgence to be a cinematic masterpiece worthy of Oscar buzz, but sadly, the overabundance of explosions and meaningful plot elements meant that it came out more stupid than enjoyable.
Unlike its 1996 predecessor, Independence Day: Resurgence lacked a compelling story and characters to care about.
Comedies aren’t the only types of movies that usually don’t benefit from being given a sequel a decade or more later.
Oh sure, it was great to see some familiar faces back, but most of the them were gone by the end, and the new folks just weren’t worth caring about.
