Movie Reviews of Blues Brothers 2000
Movie Review: an equally great sequel for the most part
Summary: 4 Stars
John Belushi died shortly after playing his character Jake Blues in the 1980 hit Blues Brothers. Even though I can understand why it took a good while to make a sequel I still can't believe it took neary 20 years to do so! Anyway, Blues Brothers 2000 pretty much delivers good music as well as comedy and even though the police chases aren't quite as thrilling like the first Blues Brothers, this movie still ranks up there with an extra amount of humor. The ending of Blues Brothers 2000 is left wide open for another sequel which hopefully is in the works.Movie Review: PA-Thetic

Oh my GOD this Movie was pathetic....How the HELL the same Writers and the same Director as the Original film could put out this piece of trash is just completly beyond me. All I can think is that even people who start out in life as cool as cool can be just can't HELP but start suckin as they get old. (And since I'm hittin 37, I'm gonna take this movie (As well as Speilberg's Jurrassic Park 3 and Lucas's New Star Wars Trilogy) as a warning sign, and attempt to BARRICADE myself from what, apparently, is an Evil Force which can bring even the Mightiest of the Mightiest to a state of utter Pathos...Unless their fall has more to do with success...In which case, I have NOTHING to fear at all! :-)
Movie Review: As a Blues Brothes Fan...I'm [Peeved]!!!!! This Movie STINKS
Summary: 1 Stars
After waiting a good portion of my life to see the long awaited sequal, My heart sank to my feet at the cheesy plot, stupid jokes, and the fact that as an Illinoisan, you could easily tell that they were not in Chicago. I took the video out and threw it against the wall shortly after seeing the rediculous bluesmobile turned submarine scene. John Belushi, John Candy and Cab Calloway deserved much better. Some say the music was great...as a musician, the music in this movie doesn't compare to the quality blues of the first movie- WAY over produced. DO NOT BUY THIS [BAD] USELESS EXCUSE FOR A FILM.Movie Review: Sad Sad Sad

What a huge waste of time and talent. All the charm and good feeling of the first film are nowhere to be found here. It is replaced by soul-less Disney blues and badly delivered 'jokes' that even Bob Hope would have turned down. The first film introduced me to a whole new world of music. This one, had it come out when I was 14, would have driven me away. All involved should hang their heads in shame.Movie Review: Insult to the late John Belushi
Summary: 1 Stars
It is mind boggling that Dan Aykroyd who helped create the original Blues Brothers would wait almost 20 years to produce a sequel of this caliber.I waited till BB 2000 came out on video and watched it. I was dumfounded! I did not laugh at anything. I was waiting for a scence that would at least make me snicker but to no avail.
Right at the scence when the Dan and John were in the river in their car as a submarine I could not take it anymore. I stopped the tape, rewound it, put it back in its cover and returned it the next day.
I will not watch it again! This movie is an insult to anybody who loved the original and John Belushi should come back to haunt Dan Aykroyd from the grave for attempting to pass this off as a sequel.
The original Blues Brothers was the funniest thing Dan Aykroyd ever did (apart from SNL) and nothing he has done since has been even remotely funny.
