 Rate Roland Emmerich
So with Independence Day: Resurgence barely making any dents, I figured we might as well rank this guy's notable highs and serious lows.
The Patriot A+ Independence Day A+ Universal Soldier A- Stargate B+ The Day After Tomorrow B White House Down C- Independence Day: Resurgence D+ 2012 D+ Godzilla F

The Patriot A+ Universal Soldier A+
The Day After Tomorrow B 2012 B Godzilla B
Stargate C+
Independence Day D White House Down D
Independence Day: Resurgence F
I doubt I will ever see 10,000 BC (I did start it once but it was a bad copy so stopped watching - from what I saw it wasn't good), and I will actively avoid Stonewall and Anonymous.

I have not seen Stonewall. Nor this bad boy:

 Re: Rate Roland Emmerich
Yeah, he made films pre-UniSol. All look like garbage.

Godzilla C White House Down C 2012 C-
Putting his career average at B to B-. Some highs, some lows, but for a sci-fi blockbuster Emmerich is a pretty good choice.

 Re: Rate Roland Emmerich
To be honest I don't think I would rate any of those movies higher than a C+ except for Stargate which is around B

I need to rewatch Universal Soldier, can hardly remember it. Mostly, I enjoy his films.
Godzilla gets a lot of bad rep. It's very fun.
