I liked the original Classic 1980 Film "The Blues Brothers" but i was never really into it as it felt more like a musical than a proper movie to me but this 90's Sequel is a much better film in my opinion with a good story & the inclusion of the great John Goodman is better!!!
So much heart & soul here how can anyone not like this movie?
I never grew up on John Belushi (R. I. P) i know he's a comic legend & Aykroyd's best friend but i did grow up with John Goodman with the Classic Arachnophobia (1990) among other stuff, so Goodman made this film better or atleast to me. Elwood gets the band back together after being released from a long stint in prison & finding out his brother Jake (John Belushi) has died, there's a sadness there to the first scenes but then Elwood decides to find his place again in the world & get back to enjoying life again.
The critics hated this sequel but i never listen to them anyway & i usually love the films they hate so who cares?
Anyway Dan Aykroyd is a true childhood hero of mine. I've been into Aykroyd since i was tiny & first saw my all time favourite movie ever at the cinema GHOSTBUSTERS 2 back in 1989!!!! I was about 5 & still remember it & that was my first ever Cinema experience & set in motion my absolute love for GHOSTBUSTERS 2 & Dan Aykroyd. Yes i grew up with the first Classic Ghostbusters film too on video but like Blues Brothers 2000, i prefer the sequel over the original.
Dan Aykroyd is a comic genius & total legend of Cinema & the actor that made me love movies. I grew up on lots of his films such as Ghostbusters 1&2, Spies Like Us, Trading Places, The Great Outdoors, Coneheads, Dragnet, My Girl, Celtic Pride, My Stepmother is an Alien, Sneakers & more!!!! Aykroyd means alot to me.
Blues Brothers 2000 is such a feelgood flick with a great cast & great songs but has a decent good guys vs bad guys story behind with Elwoood going up against the Russian mafia to help out his friends & a cross country chase to escape them & the cops. Yes similar to the first film but with a more action-packed feel to it & absolutely beautiful cinematography & great chemistry between Aykroyd & Goodman. The huge sets are beautiful too especially the huge Voodoo witch Queen set in Louisiana, stunning. There's a nice fantasy feel to this sequel that i dig & that's with most Aykroyd films, another reason i love the dude & his films.
A great sequel & a great Action comedy with a superb soundtrack throughout!!!!
Great entertainment & great fun.
