Notes et avis

This movie would have been way better if Mel Gibson directed it himself. Roland Emmerich is a cornball. Mel was great in it of course. He is the best actor and director around and one of the only people who called out the (((you know whats))) in Hollywood years before they were all exposed as serial rapists.

Watching this movie gave me a significant emotional experience. Midway through the film my eyes busted with red, white, and blue rays, turning my pet Bird Skittles, into a Mecha Bald Eagle. My dogs sitting on me l had transformed into great white shark horse hybrids with laser fireworks shooting out of their gills, this movie inspired Skittles to which he scooped us up, shooting lasers and patriotic lightsabers. All Together with ended the drug war and save Iraq from the Nazi/terrorists. Thanks Mel Gibson.

Would have given this for stars. But, I can't stomach Mel Gibson because of his obnoxiously overt anti-Semitic views. Still, I have to admit he's a very talented actor and director.
