When it comes to this genre (Sci-Fi / Action / Alien Invasion) of movies, the film industry has been spewing out cookie-cutter, worn out garbage for nearly two decades, feeding us one lame cookie-cutter superhero remake after another after another.
Those of us who love this genre of movies have been begging for new movies that surprise us and capture our attention. We want movies that require real thought to understand and use our imagination. The issue is that many people had very high expectations for this movie, due to the casting of Bruce Willis as the main character.
In contrast, if the movie was cast of main characters that are not well known, people would have no real expectations for a top shelf movie, and would be impressed by the visuals and originality, and would have a rating in the 5.5 to 6.5 range.
That being said, here we have a movie that gives us what we have been asking for... but how did we respond? With hyper-critical disdain and complaints, and worst of all, a 2.5 rating. Come on now people.. Don't be so hard on this movie. Also, Willis has been in serious mental decline since this movie was made, and he is now in a serious condition, and he is nearing the end of his life.
Cheers to Bruce Willis for all the amazing work he has done over the years. What a legend.
