"XXX 2: The Next Level"

*** THERE MAY BE SOME SPOILERS IN THIS. ***

"I sound like a porn star". Ice Cube said it, just after finding out he was going to be XXX 2.

This movie is fantastic. I genuinely think this was a parody action movie. Lets see.

Over the top car, with rockets et al? Check. In fact, it has many many over the top cars. It also has a hot black woman owning some fancy exotic car garage in Washington DC. Likelihood of that ever happening? 0.00045%.

Angry black men? Check. Again, quite a lot of them, considering it has Ice Cube, Samuel L. Jackson in makeup and Xzibit plus a bunch of other angry black men.

Willem Dafoe? Check.

Some sort of conspiracy involving the POTUS? Check.

Vast amounts of shooting? Check.

Explosions? Check.

Crazy huge scale fight where XXX manages not to die despite being on board an aircraft carrier where everyone on board is hunting him? Check.

Tank fight onboard said aircraft carrier? Check.

High speed bullet train for the President that leads to a fight alá Under Siege 2 in the kitchen? Check.

Some government suit type, white of course, who just happens to have certain skills despite there being no explanation whatsoever for him being able to do all these things? Check.

In fact, this whole movie is taking the p!ss. There is so much guns and explosions, plus some lines that are references to XXX but take the p!ss out of it as well. This is possibly the definition of a brain dead action movie. Definitely go and see it, but view it as a comedy. I couldn't even come up with such an obscure plot when drunk.

I laughed for virtually the entire movie. It was great.

You can't refuse a ticket. Unless you say no, of course.

I can't believe some of you went to XXX 2 not realising how crappy it was gonna be.

I cried. I could have got 5 Big Macs for the price of my ticket. ;-(

There was no point in making a sequel but i DID think it was a pretty decent film

Well durrrrrr

Fo' Sho'.

Utter crap? Check.

I thought the action scenes were good but the stuff they did just wouldn't happen in real life. Did any see the bit where hes in the car and chasing after the train and manages to drive the car onto the train track while going at about 200mph?

If that was real life he'd be dead.

Heh, I'm serious. I tend to enjoy utterly rubbish films before I go to sleep as I'm very undemanding. Was these conditions which made me enjoy xXx far more than it deserved really.

Sounds like the kind of film you'd like whilst being asleep at night.
