"Sequel"=lame rehash of original
The original Independence Day was an enjoyable one-note thriller with likable if cliché-based characters, and a simple premise: aliens destroy iconic Earth cities and then get pummeled to pieces by a deus ex machina. Such a simplistic movie needed no sequel. That should have been obvious all along, but was proven definitively by this tripe, which was the EXACT SAME STORY with cheapening changes as if the writers were just painting by numbers.
