Independence Day is really good. It has a bit of humor in it, and it looks great when the White House is blown up. There really isn't that much violence, because it isn't shown. There is a little bit of language, but not that much for an alien invasion movie. All in all it is a really good movie, and anyone who isn't frightened by an alien invasion.

Not to realistic(I've seen to much new movies). Good movie tho.

Of course it's not intended to be realistic, but I personally have a hard time getting into the plot of a movie if I can't take it seriously. How did the guy survive the explosion at the end, for example? I haven't seen any of the old classic alien or disaster movies, so I didn't see the references to those. But it was a fine film, and I can't give it a bad review just because I didn't se the the older movies. "Campy", I guess, is just the right word for it. But if you want to have a fun movie to watch with your friends, this is the right movie for you. Special effects were great, considering that it was made in 1996, the year I was born!

steven smokes heavy cigars (he gets david to smoke at the end) and shows a aliens body killing a man. many explosions and uses of sh*t and a**. but no big concern, its a great movie. will smith, jeff goldblum, and bill pullman's best performence.

Violence: Buildings Explode , Ships ECT.. Language: Son Of A B*ch, D*mn , What The Hell , Sh*t , Bullsh*t ,B*stard,A*s Hole, A*s, Sex: A Woman Job Is To Be A Stripper. The Reason I Rate This On For 12+ is because the language is almost unhearable, and the violence is almost only in one scene

This movie is pretty hard to take seriously, which makes it actually pretty funny. There is a lot of bad language and one guy gets drunk. The special effects are really cool when they destroy New York, LA, and DC. Overall, a pretty fun, entertaining movie.
