Movie Reviews of Blues Brothers 2000
Movie Review: Blues Brothers 2000
Summary: 3 Stars
Not as good as the first movie, of course, but worth a look.Movie Review: music is life
Summary: 4 Stars
I have The Blues Brothers DVD and CD soundtrack
along with the VHS BB 2000 and CD-Gimme Some Lovin'
I prefer the sequal to the original but I wouldn't have one without the other. The original I just had to have in my inventory because of John Belushi.
At first I didn't think I'd like BB 2000 much but John Goodman's performance was tops; the best replacement for Belushi.
The music was fantastic [Cab Calloway-Minnie the Moocher/Aretha Franklin, Think and the song Sweet Home Chicago]
The stunts with the cars had me laughing [I've a quirky sense of humor] I am from Illinois and laugh at certain types of authoritarian stupidity.
If you're a blues fan musically, you just might enjoy this production. It's not the greatest story ever told but it does represent a moment in time. If all you want to do is enjoy watching without being a critic, this just might be as enjoyable to you as it is for me. I love it.
If Dan Aykroyd decides to make a 3rd movie for the Blues Brothers, I'll buy it. Some of the great artists have passed: it's a treat to see them as though they were still with us, providing the great music of their life.
Movie Review: not all bad
Summary: 3 Stars
If nothing else, you gotta love the music. You just can't have the Blues Brothers without John Belushi.Movie Review: I love this movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit this is the only Blues Brothers movie I really like. The musical performances are amazing, it's like a concert with a plot. It's about half movie and about half celebrity guest performances. Movie Review: great music review
Summary: 4 Stars
Like the first Blues Brothers flick, this film offers lots of car chases/wrecks, lots of fantastic production numbers from the stars of R&B, and a major dose of silliness. The focused energy and star quality of Belushi isn't found in 2000 but the music from the guest stars is better in the new movie. The biggest mistake was focusing on Akroyd's low-key character which works as second banana but not as the lead role. Like the first film, the reputation of Blues Brothers 2000 will improve with age.
