I watched Independence Day 1996 movie and Independence Day 2016 movie. If you compared these 2 movies the 1996 movie take the cake. It had a perfect story and could make audience emotional. I think this is the movie which make Will Smith into a A-Grade Hollywood actor. Also it's a great financial success. They had $75 million budget and made $817.4 million box office.

Second one has a good story and better CGI but I don't think it gives the same feeling which's given by original movie. Will Smith was not there either. It's not so financially successful either.
