Astounding music and car chases

The only way this film can not be awe inspiring is if you watch it on a 10" black and white TV with a 4 watt sound system. Maybe that's a bit extreme, but I watched this on a 70" projection... Full review

This is a very hated sequel, but since I liked the original so much I decided to give it a chance. The verdict is in, good but not as good as the first. Let me first say what I liked about... Full review

The first thing is music, preferably, of course, the blues... The second is a decent story with lots of ridiculous moments.I will say that it is a much more watered down version of the first one. The first one was... Full review

The first half of the movie...great and hilarious. But when all of the magic started to come in, it got just a bit out of hand and a bit silly. The soundtrack was great. I think I might have been dancing... Full review

Blues Brothers 2000 reminded me of Rocky V. The first movie was great but this movie made me leave dissapointed. It was a kid-friendly version with a bunch of magic. This ruined the story.... Full review

This is definely not better than the original. However, this film has a lot of style and still a lot of fun. With a couple new characters and some funny new things this works out not too bad. If you liked... Full review

The acting is sub-standard, the plot is cute but predictable. The locations and crashes stand on their own well enough, but this movie is about the music. The collection of musicians is well worth seeing. This movie is about seeing Clapton,... Full review

I stopped the movie halfway thru when 'the band' is butchering 'Ghost Riders in the Sky', some cheap special effects of skeletal horses with ghost riders appear above the stage, and Aykroid activates and summons the blues mobile with a remote... Full review

Blues Brothers 2000 could be described the same way, yet, oddly, I found myself enjoying it.
It's his most relaxed moviemaking in years, and his knack for contrast -- between deadpan-cool comedy and impassioned music -- works better here than it did in the original.

The film exists not as an actual story, but a group of short episodes strung together with increasingly painful comedy.
The music sounds wonderful, with a nice, bassy presence that really rocks well.

You don't go in to a "Blues Brothers" movie expecting realism on the scale of a fact-based drama.
As for the actual comedy, though, the plot is little more than a warmed-over rehash of the first film.

From then on, the only good parts are the musical interludes by the real RB singers.
Aykroyd can't sing, but he tries hard, and trying hard makes matters even worse.

isn't a bad movie....Unfortunately, however, the film isn't nearly as strong as the original....some great moments....some very constructive criticism about the film....the film works best when it's tongue-in-cheekly echoing the original, which is kind of sad..... ... Full Review
