Summary: James Bond for the X Generation
Review: I think the opening of the movie says it all...

Typically James Bond...the scene in the alley...courier killed...and the survior takes off his black jumo suit to reveal a TUXEDO...he is chased by a group of bad guys and he ducks into a public place only to find out it is a concert with a mosh pit...of course he is the only one in the mosh pit with a tux and he is easily spoted and eliminated...

The good guys need some one who can function in an obviously shifted paradiem...bring Vin Diesel (who I like in Pitch Black)...

This was a lot of fun...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Leader of Summer 2002 movies....
Review: How can you make a great spy movie with hot action, hot women and a good story line that is not a James Bond flick? Answer: Give Vin Diesel the lead part and bring a comic book to life like it should be, that's how.
I thought the movie was great for two reasons. One, the movie didn't spend too much time on establishing the characters and actually gave you something to watch. Two, well if I had to add anymore I could only say that I didn't go back for a refill on the popcorn.....

Summary: New School vs. Old School
Review: Although this is one of the most hyped movies of the summer it still can't compare to Bond, James Bond. The director's intent in making this film was for the audience to never be bored, he accomplished that but the film lacks the same punch given by Bond. "The new breed of secret agent" will never be able to replace Bond.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Vin Reigns
Review: This is a great movie for those who love high-tech action and oodles of stunts. Deisel is definitely a secret agent for the new millenium, and sequels are definitely worth waiting for.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I tried not to compare to Bond-failed miserably!
Review: I am not going to compare this to Bond, as everyone else has picked up the similarity. What i will say, is some action films are so well crafted that even though after wards you will sit back and think wow, now that was ridiculous, whilst watching it you can lose yourself in the action. Unfortunately, xXx does not fit into this category. i exchanged incredulous chuckles with the stranger sitting next to me in the cinema at the sheer overblown action, which in no way convinces you of any realism involved. I dont know what decides whether an action film lives up to this particular benchmark of success, but several factors contributed to xXxs failure. One the stereotyped and cliched 'baddie' characters left no doubt as to who would die a dramatic death in a stunning climax. The initial attempted chemistry between Xander and WhatsHerFace left no real doubt as to who would suddenly change sides. Unfortunately the wooden acting of Diesel did little to help matters, and where he was not grunting in monosyllables, he was attempting (and failing) witty comments. A fence post has more entertainment value than this actor.
Anyway thats my review and my reasons for disliking it. Maybe it is me-as i do fit the MTV 18-25 category who i assume this film is aimed at. Maybe if i were female i would be bowled over be Diesels good looks, but i can only be thankful that i am not. To conclude, ill ignore my initial statement. This film lacks the believability, wit, fast paced action and character development of Bond films. although you always know bond will save the day, the plot of said films tends not to be signposted quite as obviously. That said, ill have to wait and see how Die Another Day compares.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved It
Review: I'm as big a fan of Bond as they come, but to compare XXX with Bond is just ludicrous- they are two types of movies. In fact, I'm disappointed to see that now we have XXX the Bond movies are trying to keep up with the new spy, instead of sticking to their own tried-and-true Bond formula. I loved XXX and recommend it to anyone looking for some great stunts, lots of action and a fun time. The people who are trying to claim XXX copies Bond need to take another look at the new movie of Bond coming out and see the sad truth of who is copying who... XXX is in a world of its own.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Mindless, Pointless and Insulting
Review: Bad. Just plain awful. Please skip this mindless drivel. The only people who liked this film are girls who think that Vin Diesel is "cute" and people who liked "Fast & The Furious" (another snoozer). I am glad that I saw it on my friend's PC and not at the theaters, so that I didn't waste $7.50. Anyone who watched this film and was not insulted by its mindnumbing dialogue, horrid plot and overall crudeness should be ashamed of themselves. Not even Jean Claude himself could have saved this one. A total waste of time for the thinking movie goer. Hey kiddies, here's an idea; instead of watching this why not see a top-notch film like "Far From Heaven" or "The Hours" or even "Minority Report"? Oh, thats right, gotta use the old noggin for that one....never mind. It saddens me that movies have come to this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Must own DVD
Review: This had to be one of the most bad ass movies I have ever seen in my life. If you liked The Fast and the Furious you must see this movie. Vin Diesel was awsome in this flick. It is truely a non stop action movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: xXx
Review: This movie sucks! How can you compare this movie which(I have read) is to depose all the James Bond movies particularly the latest Bond Movie Die Another Day? The Gadgets, The Bond Girl : Rosamund Pike compare to Asia Argento? This movie still cannot hold a candle to all Bond films including the latest release.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best movie I've ever seen
Review: When I kept going to the movies I kept seeing boring movies like Signs and Blue Crush but when I went to see XXX I was so excited about seeing it and on the other hand I thought it was going to be boring so I went and saw it and I thought it was so good that I went and saw it twice so you should buy it some day because it is really good.
