Very disappointing...
Truly Dreadful Film
It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
First of all , there is no serious plot , and no good script . They made some random poor action movie scenes and that's not enough to create an entertaining and suspensful movie
Herbie the Love Bug Number 53 has fallen on tough times. He's in the junkyard ready to be scraped. Ray Peyton Sr. (Michael Keaton) is struggling with his son Ray Jr. (Breckin Meyer) to pay the bills racing. Sr. takes his daughter Maggie (Lindsay Lohan) out to buy a car from the junkyard. Tomboy former street racer Maggie wants a muscle car but Herbie intervene. She and her old friend Kevin (Justin Long) fix up the Bug. Despite promising her dad never to race again, she gets into a street race with arrogant top racer Trip Murphy (Matt Dillon) as the mysterious Maxx.It's going for the same silly family fun as the originals with limited success. A couple of things bug me. The first is Lohan's constant squealing. It may be cute for some but it gets a little annoying. The second is that everybody goes nuts over Maggie making an offhanded comment about liking Trip's car. The CG Bug isn't quite the same charming old VW Bug. The movie probably needs a good comedian to clown around. This is OK but not that good.
So Lindsay Lohan isn't the same person since she starred in some Disney films but still though this film was actually one of the greatest that she was in. She plays a girl called Maggie Peyton who's dad played by Micheal Keaton,doesn't want her to race after his wife passed away a few years ago and that she is the dead spit of her mother(yes Disney sure has a knack for overprotective parents)so when her dad decides to get her a car for a graduation present and ONLY for driving NOT for car racing,she decides to get the VW himself Herbie. But she doesn't know that the car actually has a mind of its own(hence that's what Herbie is about). Maggie meets up with an old friend played by Justin Long(who I swear reminds me of another actor but anyway)he helps her with the car racing under the guise of Max as she wears a helmet to hide her face when she meets up with the cocky egotistical jerk Trip Murphy(Matt Dillon) so will she win the race?,what will her father think of her betrayal? is this movie going to get a happy ending...well you have to see it for yourself.SO after my little synopsis you think that this is the best movie ever?? Well not exactly but if you love cars and Lindsay Lohan before she went off the rails and likes Disney including me then check it out but for this movie im giving it a 6/10
When I was a kid (long ago), I saw all four "Herbie" movies, and I can remember being kind of underwhelmed by them even at that tender age. In fact, I thought the last two of the original four were really lame. So I made it a point to avoid "Herbie Fully Loaded" when it came out. But it came on television recently, and I decided to give it a chance since I'd be seeing it for free.I was surprised. Now, I will admit that the movie has its share of flaws. It doesn't explain why Herbie, in the time between the previous movie and this movie went downhill as a racer, and why Herbie had been forgotten by the racing community (and its audience) - you would think a Beetle that kept winning races would be remembered by SOMEONE! I could go on with listing its flaws, but I found its charms outweighed its flaws. For starters, the protagonists are very likable, down to earth and not annoyingly goofy. And Dillon's character of the rival racer was not broad and instead more of a realistic villain.The special effects are a mix of "old school" effects like the original movies used, mixed in with CGI. I actually found the combination worked, blending with each other well.I'm not saying that this is a movie to actively seek out... but if you come across it while in a silly mood, I think there's a good chance you'd find it an agreeable way to pass the time.
