John Belushi must be spinning in his grave
4 August 1999
I pretty much guessed this movie would be bad. After all, seeing the Blues Brothers license sold out to 3 HORRIBLE Nintendo games was bad enough. Then this hits. Did Kim Henkel have something to do with this movie? Because it was the same thing as Texas Chainsaw Massacre:The Next Generation- a total rehash of the first with awful acting. We didn't need all of those special effects. In fact it seems anymore there must be a requirement for computer graphics to take up 80% of the scenery. As for the characters- Elwood was OUT OF CHARACTER! John Goodman, while has talent, needs to find a role other than "loser" in SOMETHING! The boy was a plot device we didn't need. The only thing saving this movie was a few cameos by original cast members. But John Lee Hooker and Ray Charles aren't here, and they're still alive last I checked. Most of the music scenes had no real purpose. And then there's the fact that Elwood is now a stuck up jerk who will lie to just about anyone. Take my advice and forget this movie ever happened. In fact, buy the original and avoid this. This deserves to be on MST3K.
