Independence Day 2: 10 Ways To Make It Not Suck

1. Have Will Smith Sing the Closing Credits Song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSRF3slguhI Of all the items on this list, this one is probably the most unlikely, and in truth, the most unnecessary. I don€™t even like Will Smith€™s music. It just seems like it would be fitting to have Big Willie make a return to the recording studio for a cross-promotional single to advertise the film and play over the closing credits. If nothing else, it€™d be box office insurance. Men In Black featured a Will Smith single and pulled in over $500 million dollars. Wild Wild West, the cinematic equivalent of laser eye surgery sans anesthesia, featured a Will Smith song and pulled in over $200 million despite what was happening on screen. Like I said in the beginning, with this much time between the first film and its sequel, it€™s very possible that Independence Day 2 is not going to be a very good film. If that€™s the case, I hope that after two and a half hours of sitting in the theater, we can all enjoy a profanity-free Will Smith jam to ease the pain. Still, as a hopeless optimist, I€™m still holding out hope that this movie will fulfill my expectations, or at least give me reason to eat an entire bucket of popcorn with an extra large blue raspberry icee. Feel free to comment with what you think Independence Day 2 needs to do in order to be successful, or what you're hoping to see in the film.
