Movie Reviews of Blues Brothers 2000
Movie Review: Awesomely funny & entertaining.
Summary: 5 Stars
For all those anti-BB2000 reviewers, let's get real: This movie isn't about comedy only, but about the Blues' sound. The fact that it is able to work comedy into it, is a plus. Comedy is comedy whether you like an intellectual pun or slipping on a banana peel.Before you start hollowering about the sequal; a story has to stand on its own, otherwise it is known as a 'Part-2'. Thus this movie stands fine by itself just like Ghostbusters-2 did. It is funny, entertaining, and a very good tribute to the Blues' sound.
What is more important to note is that each Blues Brothers & Ghostbusters series is BEST watched with the original & the sequal back-to-back together for the full effect! Watching one without the other is like going to college and insisting on the freshman year only & ignoring the senior year. If that is the case, then stay in high school.
Movie Review: Elwood's back,R.I.P. Jake
Summary: 5 Stars
Elwood Blues(Dan Aykroyd) is back,but with a different partner,Jake's brother(John Goodman). John Belushi died in 1982 of a drug overdose in Los Angeles. So,his character of Jake was killed as well. Many fans imagined John's brother James would resume the role of Jake. In 1997,ABC pulled the plug on Goodman's Emmy-winning sitcom Roseanne after a nine-season run. A short time later,he and Aykroyd made this sequel to the 1980 hit movie. I don't believe the "2000" in the title was appropriate. It should have been "1998",since this film was theatrically released that year. This is another of those not-too-successful sequels. I loved it and thought the soundtrack was awesome.Movie Review: Start to finish
Summary: 5 Stars
If you love good music, this movie will entertain you from start to finish.
No one watches a Blues Brother movie for complex characters or surprising plot twists. This movie is what it was intended to be - fun. It does mirror the first movie, but that is part of its charm. The whole movie plays like a "Who's Who" of music:
Bo Diddly
Travis Tritt
Eric Clapton
Billy Preston
Aretha Franklin
Wilson Pickett
Blues Traveler
James Brown
Paul Shaffer
Dr. John
Lou Rawls
B.B. King
Steve Winwood
and much more.
It is a must-see.
Movie Review: Not for grocery store and eleveator music fans
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE this movie. If you like comedy and R&B you can't miss this flick. If you went to a Catholic school as a kid (as I did), well then consider this homework, or humor therapy, your choice. The line up of significant musician treasures is unbelievable, B.B. King, Lou Rawls, Eric Clapton, Aretha good God the list goes on and on at that 1st class level. Check it out! Anyone who reviews this movie less than five stars has some sort of perception impairment. If you have the blues, this movie will cure what ails you. Not recommended for serious grocery store and eleveator music fans.Movie Review: Blue's music at it's most entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a sequel in name only and if you look at it that way the movie is very entertaining. It has a cast of Blues performers that would be impossible to get together in one place again. BB King,Eric Clapton, Bo Didley, Lou Rawls, Jonny Lang, Blues travelers, Koko Taylor, Travis Tritt and many, many others. The music is incredible and's it's one of those movies you can just see everyone involved was having a great time. As expected it's plot certainly has an imagination, which just adds to the movie and just makes it laugh out loud fun to watch
