Reader Reviews
This review is from: Blues Brothers 2000 (VHS Tape)
I see all of the positive reviews here, and I'm a bit puzzled. This movie is wrong on every level. First, it repeats the original too much. The same premise gets Elwood tied up with the same people in the same situations. For example, in the original, Matt "Guitar" Murphy is working in a diner with his woman played by Aretha Franklin. THere, Jake and Elwood persuade him to quit his job and join the band again. The same thing happens again in the sequel, only they persuade him to quit his job selling cars. And the encounter with the Reverend Cleo James (James Brown) is the same thing second time around. THe first time it was in a church. The second time in a tent. The car wrecks? John Landis just tries to outdo the last movie! More cars, more breakage, more noise, more pointless nonsense. Also, the music is lame. It's just a cheap, watered-down version of what people today might call blues music. A singing kid? They were really reaching with that one. There is no urban spirit to the music like the first movie. This time, the tunes have smudgy, oily fingerprints from the sorry state of entertainment today all over them. And it might have been better. Oh, and Johnny Lang can't sing worth a darn. But the biggest disappointment of all is how lazy it is. Granted, the original is not a timeless classic to lock in a time vault for future generations...but it is a treat to watch now and then with some memorable quotations and songs. John Landis and Dan Akroyd had 18 years to come up with a script. And the fact that this is the best they can do is mind-boggling. Just like McDonald's makes a hamburger, Hollywood makes a movie. It tastes terrible, but it makes money. And some movie makers have the ability to feel shame. Of all the bad-tasting movies out there, this one is one of the most shameful ones. Landis and Akroyd should bury their heads in the sand for making this rotten mess that tried to be a Big Mac.
