I couldn't suspend disbelief long enough to get into it. Although if it weren't for ID4 I wouldn't have enjoyed Mars Attacks! half as much.

A ridiculous, one-dimensional alien invasion movie that's so patriotic that, as Honest Trailers puts it, its message of global unity proves that only America can save the world?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
