| ♥♥♥♥♥ | How many levels of suck are there? |
| My brother bought me this DVD as a gag gift. I would have to say GAG fits my description of this movie very, very well. Firstly I should note that I wasn't a huge fan of XXX with Vin Diesel, but it is an Oscar winner compared to XXX: State of the Union. This movie was so ridiculous that it was down right funny. There were times I was laughing so hard I had to excuse myself to the lavatory.
Now for some reason good old Vin was not in this sequel. So who do we get to replace Vin? Ice Cube, yes Ice Cube. I don't know about anyone else, but it seemed like Ice Cube was lost this entire movie. As for the physical action he wasn't bad, but he just seemed to dim witted to know what was going on in this "want to be" 24 storyline. There were things also that made me laugh so hard I was in pain. I also know that this wasn't the intention of the movie makers. Also general observations I made about my reaction to this film.... 1) The CGI was so obnoxious in this movie it looked like a Playstation game. 2) In (at least) one of the stunt scenes an action figure is used. (Remember motorboat). 3) Ice Cube quotes 2Pac in the movie, too bad he can't act as good as 2Pac. 4) Helicopters are silent right before you jump on one. 5) Ice Cube is released from jail to save the USA, but never gets a pardon. 6) Ice Cube is supposed to save the USA. 7) The editing in this movie is worst that an Ed Wood movie. 8) Ice Cube made Vin Diesel look like Tom Hanks or Morgan Freeman. 9) Has Samuel L. Jackson made another good movie besides Pulp Fiction and the Star Wars prequels? 10) The President of the United States' "secret" train runs juxtaposition to I-95 or some other public interstate. 11) Ice Cube can jump off a train that is going 260 mph and fall over 100 feet and still dive perfectly into the water. 12) Ice Cube was in prison for almost ten years but has no problem understanding high tech weapons in mere minutes. 13) This movie really wanted to be a 007 film or an episode of 24. 14) The movie was made to promote a soundtrack. 15) Street thugs led by Xzibit can take on USA military intelligence. 16) The CGI was so obnoxious in this movie it looked like a cartoon. I could go on, but I won't. This movie was just a poor excuse to cash in the XXX franchise, if there is even still a franchise after this bomb. It was also a poor excuse to blow stuff up and make an action move. Perhaps if this movie was just called State of the Union and no reference to XXX maybe it wouldn't have been so bad, nah. As for entertainment, I had plenty of laughs watching this movie. I thought this movie was going to be bad, but I had no idea how hideous it really was going to be. Since Vin Diesel was the first XXX and Ice Cube was the second, maybe Tom Green can be the third. In conclusion, Showgirls has more depth than XXX: State of the Union. |
