INDEPENDENCE DAY 2 REVIEW - Double Toasted Highlight
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Independence Day is upon us! Independence Day 2---I mean, Independence Day Resurgence, directed by Roland Emmerich, and starring Jeff Goldblum, Jessie T. Usher, Liam Hemsworth, and Bill Pullman definitely has many a fan really excited to see aliens, action, and even a little bit of comedy from this sequel. However, the DT podcast crew will not forget Roland Emmerich's previous blunders such as Godzilla, the first Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow, or even 2012. Will Emmerich deliver us some Michael Bay type bull crap? Or will we invade the movie theater after this movie review?

Double Toasted reviews usually end up being more entertaining than the actual movie.
I've noticed that too i love the audio
I've noticed that too i love the audio
I Laughed more than in the first five minutes here than I did the whole movie
We all love that toasty goodness
Yup
I love that animated Justice League movie where Superman suggests moving the Earth out of the way of the problem, and Batman immediately shuts that shit down, like "If I had a week, I could tell you all the ways that is impossible."
darkecofreak23 I think that was Justice League Doom
@@zerowolf0006 Yep I remember that lol.
Martin's nervous laugh at 19:31 is gold.
Independence Day was one of the funnest films ever made , most definetley a classic !
I agree and it's so nostalgic. A movie you had to have on VHS in the 90s lol
Roland Emmerich is the gay less obnoxious little brother of Michael Bay
'Martin 2016
Ian Malcolm, "So you say they were all designed to be female. Okay, I know how we will beat them." Unbuttons shirt, "Well hello ladies." Bow Chicka Bow Wow
i'll catch this one on netflix this winter when there's 10ft of snow on the ground.
I'm jealous...I stay in southern cali...we dont get that
Dido!!!
Where do you live where it snows 10 feet of snow?
I agree
Nigga where the fuck do you live ? In the North Pole? Lmao
Korey has really changed since this time. his reviews with the crew, especially Martin, now are as entertaining without the "since you don't agree with me let's argue!" he seems alot calmer now. and I think DT has reached the next level. wish some of the old crew would return.
That laugh beat will be stuck in me HEAD FORVER!
They should have replaced with Will Smith with Korey, because damn that toasty smile at 0:10 gets me going
I still think the funniest thing about this movie is that they firmly believed that they'd get a sequel. So they introduced all this new sci fi stuff and promised a bunch of awesome battle scenes in the future.
Will Smith was supposed to be in this second installment, but he requested a whopping 50 MILLION dollar salary. That was just too much for a falling star. Sorry Big Willie, but you haven't had a great hit in a decade now.
3 years later...they shouldve paid the 50 mil because this shit still sucks to this day
He didn't ask for 50 million for one movie, he asked for 50 million for the franchise, the multiple movies.
And how much are you worth???
And just how much are you worth, stupid bitch?
@@MsCandyKush_YT Jada, is that you?
Girl you better get back to your Red Table Talk and your open marriage and wako kids and stop defending your man.
Or at least tell him that he can demand more money when he starts doing a better job at the box-office. I Am Legend, Men In Black 3, Wild, Wild, West, After Earth, Gemini Man, Legend of Bagger Vance, Seven Pounds, Winter's Tale, Where The Day Takes You... all flopped. And he wants how much?
And please tell him to stop passing up hit movies like The Matrix and Django Unchained.
lol "YOU HUMAN BITCHES" I'm on the floor
This was weak sauce for me, totally missed Will Smith, diet Thor couldn't hold it, and it lacked the polish and enthusiasm the first film had.
Low Rental
diet Thor lmfao
Or Thor Lite, maybe?
"Diet Thor" hahaha!!!!
Real talk Liam will never get out of his brothers shadow he will be in good movies and make a name for himself but he will always be what James Belushi is to John Belushi which is the less successful little brother.
"Diet Thor"....Literally made me spit my drink! XD
This movie was SO TERRIBLE I was cringing throughout (not even joking...and I never do that) this was one of the worst sequels I have ever seen.
In fairness they do tell you how Will Smith's character dies, he dies in a plane crash while test piloting one of the upgraded jets.
Joshua Luke Cable & after not securing the $50 million dollar bag 😁😁
I love watching your movie reviews and congrats on reaching 50k subscribers
the Jeff Goldblum observations cheered me up no end.
Katana and machete are two very different things. Edit: Unless you speak portuguese or japanese, in that case they are the same thing.
not really...an Apple and a Gun are 2 very different things, a katana and a machete are not the same, but similar as they are both blades.
maddoc79 Yes, but one is a samurai sword and the other is a large knife for cutting plants.
+mourizze Yea they fucked that up in the movie too. I thought the War lord was going to correct him.
Yeah, that nerdy guy in the movie referred to it as a katana too, even though it clearly looked like a machete to me
Not really mate, in some languages a Catana IS a Machete, but fell free to google the word Catana and check for yourself
"When I'm looking at this someone has to be having fun...I ain't!" My thoughts exactly.
There's no real hype behind this movie it seems. Huge Independence Day fan but it doesn't feel the same without Will Smith. He sold the movie and made it a Cult Classic. But this movie seems meh.
If you cant have Will Smith, at least get someone who is charismatic.
My thoughts exactly
Lol I wouldn't call it a cult classic, it made over 850 million at the box office.
do you understand the definition of the word 'cult'?
+Rick Harding I used the phrase "Cult Classic" because that's what Korey stated it was in the video. Please watch and brush up on some comprehension next time. Thank you for flying with us, fuck off.
Just realized you guys are at 50 000 subs, im really happy for all the crew, im sure DT can surpass Spill
I watch original one every year on July 4. This one however I might watch once in my lifetime.
Bretix was a better indenpendence day Movie. Funny that this Movie was released around the same time.
Brexit alternative title was Independence Day: Recession.
Hysterical
Wow, it's you guys! You were animated before and then you stopped making reviews. Glad to have stumbled up on you lot again because you are great.
Ross Bagley played Will's step son in the first one.
I would give this movie the Fuck You grade. I was absolutely appalled by how bad this film was.
Will is spot-on with this movie. It kept escalating and escalating way too rapidly. The first one moved along but with a pace.
First time I've seen you guys... crying the whole time. Great vid. Sub'd.
HE SAID SPILL!! HE ACKNOWLEDGED IT'S EXSISTENCE!!!
I wonder if they ever reviewed Coherence? That movie is beyond amazing..
ross bagely (nicky on fresh prince) was the little kid in the first movie.
"They don't even tell you how he died" I think they actually did.
The problem was for this movie: TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE kind of movies in a long awaited sequel
that Roland Emmerich just losing his edge. I loved disaster flicks from Earthquake (1974) to Armageddon (1998).
Until this movies confusing me with too much of going on and it didn't focusing the characters and it's story.
It's not the worst I ever seen but I give this a RENTAL! Roland, you just loosing your mojo, man.
I'd argue that Michael Bay is better than Roland if for no other reason that at least with Bay his movies have a pulse and not so damn bland.
If you replace the weapon in this movie with Starkiller Base from Force Awakens would the movie be any different?
I just watched Independence Day: Resurgence. I didn't have high hopes for this movie and I was neither surprised or let down. It had a lot of the things that made the original one great, but ultimately fell a little flat for me. It appears that there is a new trend along with the sequel trend for directors to take a page out of JJ Abrams and Colin Trevorrow's play book by making a sequel as close to the original as possible. When done well by a skilled director we get movies like Star Wars the Force Awakens, when done moderately well we get movies like Jurassic World, and when done in a passable manner we get ID:R.
ID:R is not a bad movie as a whole and a lot of people will probably like it. All of the original cast members that came back gave great performances. The new cast members not so much. Any scene in this movie with Liam Hemsworth was awful, which basically included the rest of the new cast members as well. I don't blame Liam Hemsworth he seems to be a fine enough actor, when there is a shitty performance I blame the director. Any scene where Liam Hemsworth or anybody else is flying a jet is cringe-worthy. It is like watching someone over acting and reacting while driving a car at 5 miles an hour. It's pretty clear that no one in this movie has ever been in a jet or even watched a pilot flying a jet. They don't whip their heads around and scream the whole time. Why don't they do this? Because flying a jet is hard and the g-forces you get while flying at those speeds don't allow a person to move a whole lot and they're strapped in pretty tightly. Basically any of the scenes with Liam Hemsworth completely pulled me out of the movie. Liam Hemsworth and the new black guy are supposed to fill Will Smith's shoes in this movie. I will give credit where credit's due and say that the lack of Will Smith left a hole in this movie. A Will Smith size hole cannot be filled with two barely known actors.
Despite the flaws that movie is still a great popcorn movie, just don't expect to be amazed. The dialogue, story, and even the acting were a little thin and hollow at times.
2 out of 5 Stars.
Double toasted is by far the best thing on the internet!
Oooh, confirmation on the cuddliness of Korey Goodwin! Thanks for the candid full-length body shot.
21:33 Poor man's Corey Feldman joins the discussion.
17:48 - When will these aliens in movies learn the concept of "high availability" and " failover redundancy"?
They're 100% right and said exactly what I said. They just got extremely lazy with the writing of this movie which is the biggest issue with this film. It was cheesy, all over the place with so much going on, some of the acting was just atrociously bad. It was just a movie that was put together very lazy and it showed.
That Goldblum laugh fits Will so well. I like it.
LOVED the original and still do. The sequel was....Whatever. Rental for sure.
"You human bitches, how dare you!"
That rant should have been the movie. I would have paid to see that.
Hey, they had one funny line: Brent Spiner saying to his wounded friend, "I'll get you to sickbay."
I'mma need a DT review for The Neon Demon. Curious what you guys think. Please and thank you.
they reviewed it already!! check their website for the full video (one week free) or their SoundCloud for the audio (free). Sometimes they only upload reviews for the most popular movies.
tinytao Thanks! I'll go check on both just in case.
Another fun review, crackn me up! Keep up the great work guys!
Checkmate.
I just got back from seeing ID:R in IMAX. Between a gift card and my Stubs points redemption, I ended up seeing the film for free. I would rather see an Emmerich film than a Bay film any day.
Now this is my opinion so don't hate me for it, but I watched both of these movies in the same night and I actually liked the second one better. Don't get me wrong I loved the original but this one I felt like did sooo much better. The only things I really missed was the AWESOME speech in this movie, like how the first the president gave an awesome speech, this one didn't they just repeated the old speech a lot. The other thing I missed was Will Smith, and I thought the way he "died" was stupid, they said it was a flight training accident. I was telling my sister walking out of the theater they should of at least said like, "He is in New York now." Then show a scene of New York getting blown up signifying he died. Also you guys should do a review of a movie sometime with Gus Sorola and Burnie Burns.
Glad to hear this one is skippable. Stop trying to make the other Hemsworth dudes happen, Hollywood.
Plot twist! There's going to be a interstellar travel and this time? Their going to kick some alien butt!
The film may be bad but all I want is a spin off with the warlord and his brother.
It is not a rental. This movie is some old bullshit.
Movies stop trying to make Liam Hemsworth happen, he ain't happening.
If you throw the first Independence Day, bad acting, some no name actors, and Jurassic Park in a washing machine you'll get this movie. A complete snoozefest. This movie is perfect to put on as background noise when you're cleaning the house. Jeff Goldblum still fine though
The Jeff Goldblum beat was so lit
Destroy the queen, the aliens all die.
Yeah it's like 'Return of the Jedi'...the emperor is dead and the death star blows up. So what? There's gotta be plenty of remnants of the Empire left. Who cares though? Gotta wrap up that trilogy somehow. Explain that bullshit in the books.
Movie was meh, I'd rather have Roland Emmerich worked with David Spade and Kurt Russell for a no kidding Stargate sequel for the 1994 film, ignore completely the TV shows. I know I am alone on this, but I'd rather had that than a sequel for a film that in my opinion did not needed one. The ending, acting, and the overall cinematic experience was to me lightning in a bottle. It was the Star Wars experience from the 90s. I really felt sick watching this, not even Bent Spinner or Jeff Goldbloom saved the movie for me. The whole thing looked fake as hell, I still feel goosebumps when the motherships start falling into Earth's atmosphere in the first film. I refuse to watch this sequel to this day.
Good special effects but something was missing.
story lol
yeah, we all waiting for the actions...
Will Smith
I'm a little too young to remember the old Independence Day properly. But to be honest this was a great film if you want to go into a movie and just turn off your brain and watch mindless fun action. High matinee for me because it does what it's supposed to do well
They actually do tell you how Will Smith's Hiller died. they show it at the start in that quick brief overview of what happened inbetween. He died test piloting one of the first fully fledged hybrid fighter jets (the ones they eventually use en-masse) as the engine malfunctioned and because it was so risky wouldn't let someone else take the risk.
Yeah, that "quick" and "brief"'overview flew past me. I just got the sense he died during a test pilot run of some aircraft. Though, it didn't matter anyway cause the film was terrible all around.
Honestly at one point I thought I fell asleep and woke up in the middle of Cloverfield 2 or something (no, I don't mean 10 Cloverfield Lane) and I just gave up at that point.
I LOVE big action scenes with food and I was bored watching it.
Rowan Emmeric did The Patriot which was amazing
Oh my god, School House Rock? Man I miss that shit...
That song clip though..... Lol! XD it's official we got Independence Day 2 Trap Remix (Jeff Goldblum Edit) the new beat of the summer .
yeah..will ain't a big MOVIE star yet back in 96..BUT he was already quite A star from his rap and tv show..he's already a presence..not just an unknown..he's FRESH PRINCE. and just that got quite lotta asses in the cineplexes...
that's why they shoulda given him all da money to come back.
How can you have *two* Independence Days? That makes no sense....
we've already had about 200 or so
+SouthShallRise lol what a newb
Lol wow really?
+Luke Smith lol
Whoa, don't diss Jurassic World like that.
Judd Hirsch hasn't aged since 1996
watched it Last night hated it never been so disappointed in a film in my life
I see Raimi Malek is in the studio.
To be fair, they kinda address the cliche of one mother ship controlling all the minions. They mentioned that there was some pockets of alien rebels that ere fighting in Africa. (I think there setting up a spin off prequel)
I think the first one was Will Smiths best movie because it was the first time for “aw Hellll noo!” and all the things he’s repeated in every movie. But you saw it for the first time so it wasn’t annoying AF.
Worst movie I've seen in the last 4-5 years
I've watch 7 reviews on this movie and none of them were good. And Rotten Tomatoes trashing it. I'll pass.
after realising how much DT didn't like the first film, when this review for the second film was released I just skipped to the end to catch the rating. I'm actually pleasantly surprised that it got 'Rentals' all round - I was expecting 'Some Old Bullshit' at best!!
I'm just glad that Jaden isn't playing the son
Seen this movie today... And its just fun to see. Im a big alien movie fan, and im giving this movie a 7.5/10
I don't like Jeff Goldblum laughing at me!! got my money two!!
i have that same schoolhouse rock shirt, awesome
I saw it on the weekend. What a horrible horrible movie. One of the worst movies I've seen in quiet awhile.
I saw this turd and that's being generous. The first film wasn't great but this one is just bad. Devoid of any memorable characters. A plot that makes no sense. Good sci-fi should either make us think or be fun. The Matrix. Blade Runner. Moon. The underrated Puppet Masters (the one with Donald Sterling).
Please find some way to makes that Will's theme. It's perfect.
Corey, you have to stop saying Independence Day and Star Wars in the same frase. It hurts...
14:05 I thought Martin might say Oldblum
I give it a low Matinee myself. It's just as dumb as the first but keep your expectations low and you'll enjoy it.
I dunno man, I wasn't a fan of the first film but I feel this is much more horrible than that film. I had fun because there were some unintentional laugh out loud moments for me (and some audience members in my theater), and it just was silly to the point of being mind-numbingly dull. And the characters(majority) were just so thinly written without any personality or arks. I give points to Goldblum cause he's still charismatic as hell, but everyone was bland and boring.
What all I'm hearing is that if the first movie came out today, you would say the exact same thing. This to me could be an issue of changing movie standards/expectations in the last 20 years. The things movies could get away with back then, you can't do it today. From a 90s perspective, I thought this movie was right in line with what we had back then.
Love u guys !!
After watching this movie, I can't for the life of me remember the name of any of the new characters except the Warlord. They were just so bland and boring. They really wanted discount Chris Pines to look cool and he wasn't.
they do thell you how he died, they had a viral marketing "historical" site up for months telling the history between then and now. awesome research fellas
they know, in fact Goodwin (or tommy) told them about it. go watch their trailer talk on it, they bring it up. their focusing on the REAL reason here.
plus, they pointing out how the movie doesn't tell the audience, which might be a bad thing as people usually don't go the official film sight, only the fans.
true
Why do you keep putting the end card at the beginning of the videos? :S
So that people will actually watch it.
Most people shut off the video as its ending, not after its ended.
Been waiting for this one!!
Here's my question.. How'd Dr. Okun come back to life. He died in the 1st movie, how'd he come back. Plus, Why'd the aliens wait for 20 yrs to come back
They said he was in a coma.
Coma, my ass. He was blue and had no pulse.
+Raeyne Jaymeson I watched the old one again yesterday..the guy touched his neck but no one actually said he was dead..lol so it works
aoescool
I call BS. He was blue. If he had a pulse, don't you think his assistant would've called for medical assistance, but he never did. He checked his pulse and found nothing. Your logic is flawed.
im just stating what i saw.. he went over moved his head and said nothing.. he didnt say he is dead or alive.. and h didnt have any real expression on his face.
I really enjoyed it but you kind of expected a little more outta of it since this being the sequel and all.
They had Will Smiths characters death happen on a website promoting the film at the time. Apparently he died while testing out those alien jets we see in this one... But honestly this movie wasn't that bad IMO it was entertaining. It was fine 😂
Did they expand on the aliens? I'm more interested in them than the rest of the film. No one's talking about them.
Enjoyed this:) thanks
I really liked it..... Oh well.
Just redboxed it.. This cast was so fucking bland and i agree it was a dumb ass movie, i likr thr original but this shit was terrible
More like an Independence Day Regurgitation !!
