Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

*SPOILERS* This is a step down from the first movie, I am fan of the first xXx (2002) film this movie is so bad and so stupid! I am so tired of USA and conspiracy about their presidents I am so sick of this movies! Why couldn't this movie be original and had a better plot and better story? Seriously I don't like this movie. I bought the trilogy on Blu-ray I have it in my collection but this movie is a big step down. No one from the first film come back except Samuel L. Jackson! I have nothing but a respect towards the actor I like him I like his performance as Agent Augustus Eugene Gibbons he is really good in this movie. The movie is a peace of s*** but he is good he is really awesome.I don't like Ice Cube in this movie I don't like his jokes or he's acting he can't even speak properly. He acts like some gangster in her. He is a terrible actor and awful rapper, I don't like him.The action in my opinion is just poor, the plot is stupid and poor and used already.This film has none action sequences it is not a spy movie like the first one had. I hated this film because they killed of Xander Cage in this one that makes me so much angry now I hate it even more. The new xXx is terrible Jesus the CGI is terrible in here.The director for this film was Lee Tamahori the guy from James Bond 007 Die Another Day that was so awful this movie is awful action film. I don't see this movie as action film and Die Another Day was the worst James Bond film.I don't like black joke movies I don't like it Ice Cube can't properly speak. Willem Dafoe is really terrible he always plays the bad guys but in this movie he is the weakest bad guy I ever saw. This movie has so horrendous CGI and Jesus this movie f***** sucks it is un real and is so bad.Scott Speedman is in this one from Underworld films first he is the bad guy and then he is the good guy this movie is so rushed really and it makes no sense. The first xXx was a grounded reality action junkie movie it was fantastic and it is my favorite Vin Diesel film this one really sinks lower from the first one.Pretty much this movie sucks I don't have much to say anymore but score get's F 1/10 the only good in this was Samuel L. Jackson the rest was sh***. Everyone in this movie was not likable. I did not even cheer for these characters I just didn't care.Please stop making conspiracy movie about US presidents I am so sick o it. US president is always the target in USA and everyone want's to be the president why Hollywood makes such a bad movies this days? Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down I am so tired of these movies and this conspiracy theories used in the movies.This movie is awful avoid like a plague at any cost.

This movie is the exact definition of what i hate about American cinema. 113 million dollars (wich is the exact budget of this movie) for making a movie about.. stuff..and explosions.. and black rappers (or actors in that case) saying the most black things ever in a movie without any content or originality. The movie wants to be an awesome an cool action genre roller-coaster.. but it fails miserably to give that feeling to the audience.. with the most flat/cliché dialogues and the most absurd situations and scenes i've ever seen (Blowing up the white house at the end). Maybe it sounded all awesome and cool on paper.. but the scenario has no consistency and doesn't build a believable climax... everything feels random. I guess this is another movie part of the enormous 'vague' of shitty American movies of the 2000's. Movies that are a copy (or sequels) of other movies you saw once on a Sunday night ... but a lot worse . And why the f**ck is Willem Defoe in that movie ? You're a good actor don't embarrass yourself. And Samuel Jackson.. well were used to seeing him in bad movie Only good point : the fights are OK and very enjoyable when you're high.3/10

A secret underground NSA bunker is attacked and Agent Augustus Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson) barely escapes. Sixteen agents are killed. Gibbons selects prison inmate Darius Stone (Ice Cube) as the new XXX agent. Stone escapes from prison with Gibbons' help and meets up with his crime partner Zeke (Xzibit) and ex-girlfriend Lola Jackson (Nona Gaye). Stone has to go back to the NSA bunker to retrieve a computer drive while being guarded by agent Kyle Steele (Scott Speedman). General Deckert (Willem Dafoe) is behind the scheme to heighten the threat to the nation. Stone was in prison for hitting him and now he's the Secretary of Defense.Simply put, this franchise misses Vin Diesel. This is no way to build a new franchise. The plot never really matters in these. The first one wasn't a work of genius. It was Vin Diesel playing around in ridiculous Bond plus adventures. The plot is as overblown and incoherent as the first one. I don't have any major problems with Ice Cube. He brings a completely different vibe. That's not really the important point. The important point is he's different. Anyways, he's not better by any means.

Line - Witty Retort; Action - Witty Retort; Tough question - tougher answer with wit; Whoops, good acting by Samuel L Jackson for a second; Ice Cube - Close up, tough guy stare and one-liner; explosion, guns, stunts, boats, "grand theft choppers", girls, surprising villain (not too surprising); anti-hero makes tough guys seem like pansy boys - witty retortI got a copy of the script and just wanted to share a little bit with y'all. This movie's got all of the above, and gadgets! I'm trying to think of a situation where this would be worth watching ... and all I can come up with is if you're the curious type who's going to watch it anyways. One thing I will say, at around 39 minutes in, pop-violinists in a major motion picture never looked so good!Rating: 12/40 (just because it delivers on the very few promises it makes)
