Sorry, this movie sucks

Fresh and Exciting

Disturbing yet enthralling

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

I was like 14 when I saw this movie. I went with my best friend and schoolmate. Shortly after they started calling us the Blues Brothers at school... I don't recall a movie so hilarious with such great music. I've made all my family see the movie, however most hate it. My wife just bears with it. The car chases have no match.

One greatest musical comedy that I'd seen over past 30 years,John Landis didn't expected too much when had received the Dan Aykroyd's screenplay too longer. after cutt off a half to fill up to adjust in a proper format took a time, meanwhile tried get the copyrights of all old blues music with their owners a perfect pack came along with several legends such Ray Charles,Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklyn, James Brown,John Lee Hooker just quote a few,blended with a clever premisse when Jack got a parole to set free from prision,they have to visit the old nun sister Mary who raised them at orphanage and try to get 5.000 thousand dollars to pay back taxes to stay open this house's children, after this point every single scenes are adds up with a black humor and action, plus neo Nazi party,Cops and a angry Country band whose are chased on Chicago's neighborhood, Belushi and Aykroyd as near perfect leading roles scattering some funny jokes they getting the audience...fantastic!!!Resume:First watch: 1984 / How many: 3 / Source: TV-DVD-Blu-ray / Rating: 9

Elwood - It's a hundred and six miles to Chicago. We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.Jake - Hit it.20/10 for the movie ∞/∞ for soundtrackThose who still didn't see this movie (at least 10 times) should do it immediately, cause life is too short and you may lack time to see it few hundred times. And those who saw it and did not like it... nope, that kind does not exist... at least for me. The one and only - The Blues Brothers. There wasn't anything like this before or after this gem, not even close. This movie has everything - prison, drama, action, awesome car chases, one of the most exciting love stories ever shown on big screen, comedy, mass shooters, flame throwers and explosions. And on top of that, it has legendary casting - Carrie Fisher, Henry Gibson, John Candy, Twiggy, Frank Oz (Yoda), even Steven Spielberg - and without competition, THE VERY BEST SOUNDTRACK IN HISTORY OF CINEMATOGRAPHY. John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd are heavily supported by James Brown, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Steve Cropper, Matt Murphy, Chaka Khan, John Lee Hooker. For this movie 10/10 simply isn't enough.

John Landis' fearless anarchistic movie of two brothers who try to raise $5000 to save an orphanage from demolition. The Brothers put their old band back together and go playing on the road with the police and some Nazi's chasing them. Lot's of brilliant dialogue and probably more (police) cars destroyed than in any other movie. Funny and full of action and great music.One can really see that making this movie must have been fun.
