Independence Day 2: 10 Ways To Make It Not Suck

2. Have Bill Pullman Give a Rousing Speech

14ID4 If Bill Pullman does come back for a second round, I imagine he€™ll reluctantly be forced to take up the cause and lead the nation against the otherworldly invaders once more. And if that€™s the case, there€™s one thing I imagine many audience members will be looking for: a completely over the top, cheesy, yet still awesome speech. It happened in the first movie, with hammy dialogue that only works in a movie like this, and it needs to happen again. These films aren€™t meant to be serious social statements like the Dark Knight Trilogy, theological ramblings like Prometheus, or gritty, hard boiled sci-fi like Looper. Independence Day is about having fun at the movies. It€™s the cinema of attractions; you come for a fireworks show, and you get one. Let Bill Pullman go up to the podium, wink and nod at the first film, and give a speech that makes everyone want to clap in spite of how ridiculous it is.
