ID4 is a classic. We gonna pretend now it isn't? Watch these replies :mjgrin:
Yes but so is Black Panther... And both are mindless action flicks. Will knocking out telepathic aliens through their armor exterior with one punch, wasn't exactly high level plot..You act like dude made Godfather. There are different ranks to classics

Marvel films is very much what pop music is today, its catchy and sounds good, but no real musician would claim its good music.

Music that sounds good isn't good music according to 'real musicians'. :gucci:

marvel is trash, but you know that going into it, and it's not the first time trash has been successful or they last

Roland Emmerich is trash though, ID4 was only successful at it's time because it was a spectacle, the special effects look like shyt now and the movie can't stand on it's own merit, its laughable at how bad it is.

The original Robocop is still a good movie despite the aged special effects, that's the difference between a director with talent and a hack ike Roland Emmerich

his movies are the in the same vein as marvel joints without the character history to pull from. CGI set pecies, heavy quipping, but he fukked up by not holding Will Smiths family hostage to get him in the sequel.

if his sequel didn’t flop he was already trying to make it into a universe. He literally needs to shut the fukk up.

ID4 was only successful because of Will Smith, and the effects were great for the time, which haven't aged well at all

the ID4 sequel has way too much cgi judging from the trailer I didn't watch that trash, and also he didn't have a name attached to like Will Smith who was a huge star already even though that was his first big movie his name was already big.

The sequel should've came around the time of the matrix movies, shyt was way too late and the movie had already lost prestige due to time passing and people realizing it was garbage

False. ID4 was the most hyped movie for its time because the trailers looked insane.:ohlawd: Will did not sell the film, the concept and the trailers had everyone creaming their pants at the time. The movie made Will a bonafide blockbuster attaction however. Not sure how old u were when it dropped.

not true, movie proved Will Smith was a draw also the movie had more than just will in it, jeff goldblum, Bill Pullman

It was a blockbuster afterwards because HE PROVED he was a draw, so they gave him the green lit, if Will Smith had nothing to do with the summer success all his other movies would've flopped, but they didn't the studios saw the winning formula and knew the summer was Will

Yeah you are full of shyt.

The white house blowing up, it being 3 hrs, it was an event film.
Will became a box office draw after it, but the movie wasn't sold on him.
It was sold on being a spectacle

Once again, that wasn't the intentions, but WIll made the movie bigger than what it was going to be, that's why be became a Star, he proved his drawing power, take Will Smith out the movie its not as big or will be memorable

back then movies where in the theater longer and longer, word of mouth was key if Will Smith wasn't in the movie it wouldn't have had the lasting power, this is a fact, which is why he got nothing but big movies afterwards because it was proven to be true

the entire trailer is centered around Will Smith lmao its marketed as a will smith movie why so disrespectful, at least think about what you are saying before you make yourself look like an ass



you also forgot Bad Boys came out in 1995 the year before, Will was already a legit movie star
you bytch ass fakkit
