Thomas Whitmore was certainly this movie's Russell Casse Randy Quaid from ID4 and add that his continued link to the aliens is further defined. Okin and even his father were quite enjoyable and reminiscent of the original Independence Day. David Levinson has that "let's be smart about this." attitude, and interaction scenes with Pres. The story was more methodical, the plot was reasonable, given 20 years, and the action was logically realistic for a sci-fi sequel 20 years later.They certainly gave some of the legacy characters like David Levinson, Brakish Okin and Thomas Whitmore justice and added considerable fervor to them in connection to this movie. What else is there to do?In an industry that can't stop copying itself and can't seem to do 'serious' without being trite, just embrace their general failure and roll with them in this new self-aware comedy dressed up as a sci-fi action movie called "Independence Day". At one point I asked myself "Why does the Alien hate the school bus so much?" Answer: BECAUSE IT CAN.This is entertainment at a higher level than I'm used to. The first movie was still taking itself seriously and a little cornball but this one frequently deadpans 'yes this is a joke' without flinching. This is both a salute and a slap in the face to its predecessors. Awesome scene This is where Hollywood needs to go more often. People are saying it's not original but I have never seen an alien as tall as a skyscraper chase around a school bus. This was like actually fun to watch just to see the various cliche's employed.I could be wrong but I think EVERY SINGLE SCENE IS A TIRED Cliché.And that was actually interesting. It is in fact a long sequence of overused cliche's, and yes I believe the filmmakers knew that, and yes I believe it was intentional.This is like a dead pan version of tropic thunder. Yes every single one of them is in this movie. Trot out every movie trope known to mankind in a single film.
