Independence day, is VERY much like godzilla in a sense that city gets blown up and somehow they fix the problem blah blah blah

and Last Samurai, besides Katsumoto, everything else was crap. I didn't like the idea how they put Tom Cruise in the an event that actually happened, and insinuating that he was the last samuarai, though it's not ever said he was in the movie, it's pretty much shown that he is the last saumari, and wtf is with the ending? that skinny ass emperor asking him in broken english "how did he die?" and the katies holmes lover replied "i'll tell you how he lived"

like pfft Rolling Eyes

c'mon....

I tend to disagree. Remembering now what Godzilla was about, Godzilla was the menace terrorizing the city and the remake was just for special effects I rekcon. The story was pretty BS. To me it's like you've got the problem and there is a solution but it's more like they wanted you to sit back and watch the special effects in order to keep you entertained, not the plot.

ID is more like you've got aliens trying to take over the entire world and the human race is banding together to reclaim Earth and get rid of the invaders. It's an epic struggle where mankind puts away their petty differences to overcome the bigger obstacle.

Last Samurai, besides Katsumoto, everything else was crap. I didn't like the idea how they put Tom Cruise in the an event that actually happened, and insinuating that he was the last samuarai, though it's not ever said he was in the movie, it's pretty much shown that he is the last saumari, and wtf is with the ending? that skinny ass emperor asking him in broken english "how did he die?" and the katies holmes lover replied "i'll tell you how he lived"
As for Last Samurai.. Firstly, Tom Cruise is a good actor. Secondly it wasn't an event that actually happened. It is only loosely based on historical events (more than one). At the time the movie is set the Japanese had already decided to use Prussian and British guns and they weren't using those primitive muzzle-loading rifles either. A lot of people have a bone to pick with this movie in that 'oh it's not historically correct' or other crap like that. I think they should just get over it. It was never intended to be a documentary or a hollywood movie 'of a historical event'. Rather it is a hollywood movie 'based on several historic occurences. It was made with the intention of providing entertainment so that millions of people pay money to go and sit through it.
As for him being the last samurai and him telling the emperor 'I will tell you how he lived' and the emperor speaking up finally etc. It's all a bunch of cliches and that's what sells.
Personally, I just see it as a story and I find it pretty entertaining.

to each his own i guess...
