It's like they took everything that could possibly make a film cringe-worthy and genetically engineered them to be fifty times as potent.

Oh god. Part 1 was seriously bad. Could they actually make it worse?

Am I right in thinking Vin Diesel's not even in this one?

Nah its ice-cube, the first one was the worst film i'd ever seen, thankfully rubes went into a coma during it and didn't have the pleasure of remembering it.

I've not seen it. I shall make a point of not seeing it.

Deleted user 14 April 2005 09:42:15

Hold on... are they transforming ghetto-boy-gangsta-rappa Ice Cube into an action star now?? This will be fun!

The poster has it as xXx²

So it should be called xxXXxx really...
or is it Xx³?

The presence of Lee Tamahori, the man who thought the CGI in Bond was passable, doesn't bode well.

I went to watch Hitch with the g/f last week (ok, for a Rom Com) and advertised in poster form was a film starring Vin Diesel as a 'Nanny' complete with dress and makeup.

WTF?!

Seriously, WTF?! The new hollywood hardman starring in what looks to be a remake of Hulk Hogan's 'Mr Nanny'?

Goodbye career, Vin.

Oh, I went to see the original, and was gutted that it was totally hardcore porn free!

I was this close to suing them under the trade descriptions act!

It bloody did! It was one of his three crap films!

If he'd avoided that, last action hero, and the one where he's pregnant then he would've had the perfect film career.

All arnie films when he's not playing Kevin Terminator and Conan are rubbish. All of them.

The Terminator had a first name?! And it was Kevin?!

You've just ruined those films for me.

All of his other films are great, simply because they're arnie flicks.

I saw a trailer for this last night ... it's looks beyond awful. Ice Cube looks a complete tosser in this.

Oh and when they read the name out in the trailer I laughed out loud "Triple exx two: The Next Level" ... it's just CRAP

Deleted user 14 April 2005 11:39:49

Trailer here. Terrible...

That's the chick from Lost innit?

Deleted user 14 April 2005 11:53:16

I saw an ad last night for some film with Ashton Kutcher and Bernie Mac in it, it's a race comedy, it's basically Meet the Parents Urban. It looks fucking awful and I would have thought we'd got a stage where race comedies aren't exactly viable material.

Blimey i thought you were on about a Race comedy as in whacky races or cannonball run.

Comments on imdb are always like that, its the gamefaqs of movies.

You can never have too many of those imo

Very true, which is a shame cause the site is one of the best resources on the internet. Although it's pretty damn slow at the moment.

Guess Who has just the same kind of comments.

In fact the first thread has a collection of posts that read.
