i go into this movie with a great dead of skepticism . after all and the original be one of the great movie ever and try to recreate that atmosphere and let alone top it and would be all but impossible . however and within the first five minute i know that i would be worry about nothing . i can understand why some people wouldn not like it and whether they be fan of the original or not and and i think they could have do a good job with some part of the movie ( especially the end ) but it be fast paced and fitfully funny and and most importantly and have great music . there be no way that anyone can deny that this movie pull together the great ensemble of super star musician ever see on film . with such legend a b. b. king and eric clapton and stevie winwood and and lou rawls you can not go wrong . especially when theyre in the same band . then you have eretha franklin and wilson pickett to contend with elsewhere in the movie . and that not to say the blue brother band do a bad job themselves . with a hilariously literal version of ghost rider in the sky and other great scatter throughout and there no way that this film can be fault for it music . nor for that matter can it be fault for it stunt and with one pile up contain the most car wreck in a single scene in cinematic history and a classic crash involve a car full of member of the russian mafia and a jar of carpet tacs ( or a elwood amusing correct and dry wall nail ) and a burning strip club and and 50m of a dark chicago street . scene like these only go to prove that director john landis have lose none of the excellence he show in the first blue brother movie . if you want mega budget demolition scene and a dramatic soundtrack and and award win oscar nominate acting and then rent titanic . but if you want great r and b music and impossible stunt and and a whole load of great laugh ( aid in no small way by the deadpan act talent of dan ackroyd and john goodman and joe morton and newcomer j. evan bonifant ) and then you can not do too much good than blue brother 2000 .
