Hahaha… ok… do you really need to read any further? Does anyone out there seriously have any doubt to the quality of xXx 2: State of the Union? Well… for those of you living in Never Never Land let me clue you in. THIS MOVIE WAS DOOMED TO SUCK FROM THE MOMENT IT WAS THOUGHT UP.
The reviews are coming in, and predictably they aren’t pretty at all…. downright horrible actually. And none of us should be surprised. I mean come on!!! Who can buy Ice Cube as an action star? I don’t mean to insult the guy’s physical condition… he’s probably in better shape than me… but you don’t see me appearing in Rambo 4 do you?
Anyway, here are some of the choice cuts from the critics that are available so far. Expect more of the same to come:
“A salt-lick for under-hung jackasses.”
— Walter Chaw, FILM FREAK CENTRAL“Burdened by Ice Cube and Sunny Mabrey masquerading as actors, awful, loud rap music and idiotic stunts, this clearly qualifies for the stupid genre.”
— Tony Medley, TOLUCAN TIMES“The movie appears to have employed a Super Nintendo as its screenwriter, and it boasts all the elegance and character development of a Transformers episode.”
— Phil Villarreal, ARIZONA DAILY STAR
Stick a fork in this one. It will make some money because it’s the only real “guy” action flick that will be out at the moment of it’s release… but expect word of mouth to get around and then watch the box office numbers go down faster than a High School cheerleader on prom night.
