...a sadistically silly spoof that uses a cheesy ray gun to blow away the tropes of science-fiction past.February 09, 2006
Unfortunately, it's not very good.May 20, 2003
Just a parade of scattershot gags, more often weird than funny and most often just flat.August 25, 2008
Perhaps they don't create quite enough deeply funny earthlings to go around, but a thoroughly meanspirited big-budget movie is always a treasurable rarity.October 29, 2002
Only moderately amusing.July 03, 2011
Tim Burton's tribute to the B sci-fi-alien genre of the 1950s is sharply uneven, but the top-notch cast, dark humor, and production values offer some pleasure.December 15, 2010
Alien-invasion satire for older tweens and up.May 23, 2013
An over directed and poorly written farce...January 19, 2014
Yes, it's over-the-top, but there's a terrifying truth in how politicians would want to spin this or media would want to angle it.September 01, 2009
The pinko commie Independence Day, Burton's film orders an invasion of little green men not to reinvigorate our all-American bloodlust, but to make us look like complete and utter boobs.August 25, 2008
oaded with wit, nifty little ideas and an extraordinary sense of design, but its allure is of quite a particular nature, much closer to that of Ed Wood than of Burton's earlier, and far more commercially successful, works.June 18, 2002
Hilarity never seemed so tedious.
