larryimdb The movie beginning is not too bad, but very soon the obnoxiousness of the hero starts to grate on my nerves.Attitude, yeah. They certainly cranked it up! In the worst way! Seriously, it's embarrassing. The sexism, the macho behaviour, the gratuitous putting down of the nerd guy (despite the fact that he provided all the needed tool for the job), are some of the worst I've ever seen in any movie...According to this movie, to be "A MAN" you must use plenty of guns, act violently -and without any brains-, love BIG cars, talk "tough" and all the absurd -obsolete- stereotypes you can imagine. PATHETIC.And to be respected as "A WOMAN", you must be a top model and show that you know about BIG cars as much as the hero (so, she's in fact a man?). DOUBLE PATHETIC. (Seriously, that scene in the garage with the luxury cars was super cringy)Too bad because despite being really over the top, the story is not that bad (for a B movie) and has some twists that are more clever than you'd expect. But it does not excuse the obnoxious characters.

stormhawk2018 A "xXx" movie without Vin Diesel is like a "Terminator" movie without Arnold or "The Mask" without Jim Carrey.Hmmm...who should be the next xXx agent? A secret agent devoting his life to loyalty and honor with more skills than a Navy SEAL, Spetsnaz soldier, and KSK soldier combined. Oh I know! As our star agent died, let's get a gangster we found of the streets with no loyalty, no self control and no acting ability! Our enemies are screwed now! So, what is the best thing about the movie? It's xXx. As bad as it is, it's still xXx. That means I can handle watching it...for about 20 min. (The movie is 1:40). As for the bad, there is a lot of it. Ice Cube makes Shaquille O'Neill look like a good actor. He has pretty much no personality and he can't talk properly, apart from the occasional explosion. But they couldn't just take one crappy actor/rapper! No they had to take another one, in the form of Xzibit, a bad actor AND a bad rapper like IC! 2 for the price of 1! The whole premise of the movie is down right uncreative and ridiculous. The villain has murdered more people than our last war, but he NEVER get's caught for it? And why didn't Willem Defoe just kill Gibbons?! Then nothing would have stood in his way! And why is Ice Cube put under so little security? Do they REALIZE this is xXx? But the worst part about it? They KILLED of the first xXx! You're telling me Ice Cube is a better than Vin Diesel because he has a better chance of surviving a maniacal dictator than Vin? No! Just no. Ice Cube needs to learn to leave acting to actors. Not rappers, not athletes, only actors.The soundtrack was awful. In this sequel replaced the great hard rock OST to a crappy rap/hip-hop music.Also the filmmaking was terrible, mainly the director (Lee Tamahori) who commissioned what is a terrible sequel to an already poor original film. Lee Tamahori has shown a poor eye for directing action films, just remember that special effects debacle of an opening for "Along Came a Spider" or the surfing scene in "Die Another Day". This film fails in poor storyline and supporting cast who are just relentless and one dimensional. I'm gearing up to see the next film but I'm struggling after this one-two punch knockout franchise, how talents like Dafoe, Samuel L. Jackson (sadly, the only actor who returned from the first, and I recognize that he is a good actor) and Scott Speedman joined this film is probably the central question after Diesel hated the scripts. This abysmal film deserved to flop and I'm annoyed that a film of this size has horrible special effects.This film is an absolute train wreck. Avoid this movie like the plague to every cost.P.S. To the reviewers who said that the redeemable thing of this train wreck was their music (some say that Ice Cube is better than Vin Diesel because he is a musician and others prefer to be interested in the string quartet Bond), let me tell you, guys, that you're LIKE THE MEXICANS, because without music you can't live. I warn you, guys, when the xXx4 appears (and it will perhaps be a mission in Tijuana), don't wait for Xander Cage to be killed once more, and the next xXx agent to be George Lopez (a comedian from Mexican descent) to see if you like it. Bon appetit.

SnoopyStyle A secret underground NSA bunker is attacked and Agent Augustus Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson) barely escapes. Sixteen agents are killed. Gibbons selects prison inmate Darius Stone (Ice Cube) as the new XXX agent. Stone escapes from prison with Gibbons' help and meets up with his crime partner Zeke (Xzibit) and ex-girlfriend Lola Jackson (Nona Gaye). Stone has to go back to the NSA bunker to retrieve a computer drive while being guarded by agent Kyle Steele (Scott Speedman). General Deckert (Willem Dafoe) is behind the scheme to heighten the threat to the nation. Stone was in prison for hitting him and now he's the Secretary of Defense.Simply put, this franchise misses Vin Diesel. This is no way to build a new franchise. The plot never really matters in these. The first one wasn't a work of genius. It was Vin Diesel playing around in ridiculous Bond plus adventures. The plot is as overblown and incoherent as the first one. I don't have any major problems with Ice Cube. He brings a completely different vibe. That's not really the important point. The important point is he's different. Anyways, he's not better by any means.

Michelle Langlois After reading the reviews I was hesitant to watch this movie but turns out its a good movie! Ice cube is awesome too. I never seen the first movie but after seeing this one I like this one just fine. Also Other great actors in this movie. Great plot line. But I guess some people just can't be made happy. I am a huge movie guru and this definitely is added to my like list. There are a lot of goofs and some of them are super obvious but there okay. I am somebody that observes errors quickly. I also love the music in this movie it is very fitting for the characters and the story line. And OMG the CARS in this movie are so bad a**. I like that there's music by Ice cube and xzibit considering their actors in the movie lol.
