It’s hard to say what’s worse about this movie: its shoddiness, which is abundant, or its cynicism, which is no real surprise in a “sequel” slapped together 20 years after the picture whose enduring popularity it seeks to exploit. Hard to say, and hard to sit through.
Problem number one with Independence Day: Resurgence is Will Smith. He’s not here. Smith’s fighter pilot Steven Hiller was the heart of the original film, but the actor took a pass on returning for another paycheck, presumably in order to make the upcoming Suicide Squad—a movie whose trailer is more entertaining than anything in this bloated spectacle, writes Kurt Loder.
