Blues Brothers 2000.
Okay, revisits and re-imaginations always take a huge backstep from the originals for some reason. This one is no different.
The original was really witty, clever, with plenty of gags, car chase sequences, and subtle humor moments, all in all a ball of fun. The sequel - disappointing. I waited and waited for something good to happen, but it just never did.
Maybe one main reason is my expectations. After watching the original, they are always going to be high. I should have learnt my lesson of lowering em after watching Caddyshack 2, but I guess I haven't learnt it yet.
I still like Dan Aykroyd though. I cannot bring myself to hate the guy.
