That's what you're going to get, and you know it going in. If you walk out of an Emmerich movie disappointed, you really have no one to blame but yourself for going in the first place.
It's not like he's pretending to peddle high art and delivering stinking shit like that hack Shyamalan.

I watched "The Rock" the other night and forgot just how much I loved that movie. Great actors, great score and a fairly normal Nic Cage.
The thing that bothers me most about Emmerich is that he's been too preachy lately with "Day After Tomorrow" and "2012".
10,000 BC was the dumbest movie ever.
