James Bond Has Nothing To Worry About
I was reading somewhere that this film was supposed to depose the James Bond franchise.That won't be happening in this lifetime.XXX is one of the worst movies I have seen in a very very long time. After reading about the work up about this film and Vin Diesel I really expected to have my sox blown off. Instead I was bored to tears. I was itching to leave the theatre and almost walked out on it the first quarter.The script is attrocious and the dialogue campy. If this was going to be a spy movie on the level of James Bond or even Mission Impossible I expected to see some sort of substance. All Diesel does in this flick is make smart remarks and flex his muscles . If Diesel really wants to show that he's much more than just a younger version on Arnold and Sly he's going to have to learn the art of subtlety. Otherwise he's nothing but an overpumped action hero without any substance.This film should please those out there who like loud noise, mindless violence and explosions.But if you are looking for an intelligent spy movie perhaps you would be better of waiting for a gentleman by the name of:Bond, James Bond
