MAD at EW

So... I was glancing through the Entertainment Weekly movie reviews and found their review for Battle: Los Angeles. They gave it a D!! Needless to say, I am not happy about it. How can it get a D? I thought it was so good, and usually my tastes are pretty similar to the magazine's. But anyway, they reduced the movie down to the fact that there is a lot of rubble and smoke. "If only there were an Oscar for Best Debris"--What do you expect? The movie is about aliens invading; there's gonna be some destruction, obviously. They also say that it is just a mix of a bunch of different alien/disaster movies. To that I say that you can say that about pretty much any movie ever made. It says it's a mix between War of the Worlds, Starship Troopers, District 9, Earthquake, and Independence Day (if I recall correctly, this is another nominee for Best Debris, perhaps?). The last thing that it says is that the aliens are "visually nondescript--just metal from another planet." I actually liked that. Not everything has to be like Alien or Independence Day.

Anyway, the review just really bothered me. I only read the little blurb in the magazine because apparently they didn't have a normal pre screening. You can read the whole review here:
