| Posted by: Mike at January 18, 2003, 5:10 pm | | Topic: Reviews: XXX Forum: JoBlo | | xXx (2002) xXx was worse than I expected it to be. I must ask myself, what was the point? It wasn't even passable as mindless entertainment. The dialogue was wretched and the plot was confusing, not because it was deep or anything, but because it had so many holes that it just didn't add up. It was also too long, this 2 hour MTV music video could have been cut down to 2 minutes. I enjoyed The Fast & The Furious (8/10 or B+), but xXx makes The Fast & The Furious look like American Beauty. Some of the scenes were interesting and Asia Argento was easy on the eyes. But other than that I really can't think of much I liked about it. Although the ending does give me hope that the sequel might be better. But I still won't rush out to see it, if at all I will check it out when it hits video shelves. Overall, the best thing about xXx is the end credits, not just because it's finally over, but because they seriously kick ass. They are some of the best end credits I've ever seen. Of course, when the end credits are the best thing about a movie, it can't be very good. Not completely horrible, but it has a lot of major flaws and a terrible plot, or lack of plot. Grade: 5/10 or C- |
