[@DrDolan2000]

[@davidjsaul]

Thing is if he had returned the movie might have done better domestically just based on his name power. Then again it didn't help the abomination that was After Earth so who knows...

[@Xylarxcode]

I mean, it does make sense. Of all the people that starred in the original movie, his career advanced the most by a landslide. After the first movie, Will Smith became a household name for years to come, starring in several huge blockbusters as well as some more critically acclaimed movies (and a few stinkers). If you want quality, you have to pay for it and the higher the quality, the more you're gonna have to shell out. Also, half the budget is a gross exaggeration. He wanted a lot of money, but it was more like a third of the entire budget. Which is still an obscene amount of money for just one guy, but it's not half the budget. Would have increased their sales, though, even if the movie nosedived into the ground faster than those fighter jets in the first movie. They'd have to blow a lot of money on his salary, but they'd make more too, just by virtue of having him in it. All things considered, he's probably pretty happy that his name isn't attached to the trainwreck that this movie became. Even if the paycheck was gonna be huge. There is also the possibility that he deliberately asked for an obscene amount of money ahead of time. He may not have trusted that this movie would turn out well, so he asked for an disgusting amount of money to be in it, knowing they would turn that down, which allows him to walk away from the project. Or they pay him, in which case he's got a couple millions more in the bank, even if the movie goes to shit. Really, the only scenario where he would lose is if they don't pay him, but the movie turns out to be a huge success anyway and now he's not attached to it anymore. And even then, he still has more starpower then the entire cast combined here (except for maybe Goldblum (damn you, Jurassic Park)).

The special effects were pretty good in the first movie, but it was the charming and quirky characters that really made it enjoyable. Looks like the second one traded in charming characters for more special effects, which was a huge mistake.

I would've enjoyed the movie more if Steven Hiller's adoptive son Dylan was the hero of the movie. Both him and Whitmore's daughter. Also, Dylan's hostility towards Jake at the beginning would've made more sense if Jake somehow was responsible for Steven Hiller's death. Making Jake's story a journey of redemption.

Why wasn't Will Smith's character's kid the main hero? And why did they just have him be with the president's daughter??? Less to "flesh" out and it would have been decent fan service at the least... the 2 cute kids who comforted each other during their most difficult moment of life getting together would have been adorable...
