I thought this was another vin diesel movie but was not disappointed.I had never seen him in action before.Most action movies today have lots of curse words but frankly I can do without all that and feel its a lack of language skills.I am completely into movies where the good guys overwhelmingly destroy the bad guys and vin diesel did just that in a way that keeps you on the edge of your seat.I only wish our soldiers in Iraq had these kind of skills and training.Our government wastes to much money on other things completely unnecessary!Watch this with a buddy or friend,then talk about how all those supposedly evil guys were outsmarted and done away with!!

Vin Diesel's xXx: X-citement, X-tremity and X-Ray Vision
Review created: 08/13/02
by: flamepillar -- a member of Epinions
Pros: The blazing action, the unbelievable stunts, Vin Diesel's surprising real-ness.
Cons: The music, the lack of a plot (like you really need one here)
XXX. I came. I saw. I forgot. But looking back, I wouldn't trade it for the two hours that I would have spent sitting on this computer. XXX is pretty much what I expected it would be, a boatload of action scenes set to the abrasive tunes of Rammstein, Bush and others. Vin Diesel playing Xander Cage, the high fivin' mofo who fights like a Marine and loves his cars. Plot that is for the most part, negligible. And a whole lot of stunts. Well I guess I should be brutally honest. The stunts didn't exactly blow me away. There were a couple of moments where I would lean back in my seat with my jaw...

XXX - James Bond on steroids.

Pros: action sequences are awesome, the sound effects were incredible, movie progressed with action
Cons: um...it ended?
Just an ordinary day: Well, I woke up this morning at around 1:45(ok so it was the afternoon) and got up and did my usual thing. Played SOCOM for about an hour, got the poo kicked out of me in Delta Force as I'm not too good at games after just waking up(trust me, it takes about 4 hours for me to wake up to be able to think straight), and went for a brisk jog with a buddy of mine to get my heart pumpin'(evidently it pumped too much and ended up making me sick from the heat). Just a normal day of lazying around on me bum and screwing around with my bunk computer to make it work right(is it bad.

A Chick's Point of View on Vin Diesel's XXX
Review created: 08/09/02
by: kristinafh -- a member of Epinions
Pros: <b>Vin Diesel</b> <i>mmmmmmmm....baby</i>!
Cons: Absolutely no nakedness.
I'm not an action movie chick. I don't like seeing anything with Arnold or Sylvester in it. Bleck! So what am I doing seeing this movie? Read on. The story goes like this..... Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) is a multi-talented man. He is an extreme sports athlete and criminal who likes to use his skills to screw with people who have their priorities in life messed up. An example is, in the opening sequence, Xander steals the car of a Senator who thinks that music and video games are the cause of kids brains rotting. While all of this is going on, the NSA is having some issues a couple continents...

XXXtremely Predictable James Bond Wannabee
Review created: 08/09/02
by: bwyckoff1 -- a member of Epinions
Pros: Action Flick with some very cool stunt work
Cons: Too much like a James Bond film
XXX just made its premiere in my local theater. The popcorn was hot-buttered and smelled divine. The theatre was empty. A private showing. Could the general public be on to something? I gave it a go. The opening scene is a tuxedo-clothed fellow who is killed and thrown into a mosh pit atmosphere. The music by Randy Edelman is awful. Loud and brash-it makes you want to run from the movie screaming for pity. My poor eardrums were shattered. Movie Techniques I found the actual making of the film quite lacking. The scenes were often cut short. One moment our man about town is in bed and the next..

Action packed with extreme sports and stunts...XXX
Review created: 09/08/03
by: kld718 -- a member of Epinions
Pros: surprisingly Vin Diesel, action
Cons: a lot of overdone action, a lot of the dialogue
It was my cousins turn to pick the movie again. When it s his turn, my aunt and I know that we will be more than likely seeing something with a lot of action. So was I surprised when he decided that we were going to watch XXX? Of course I wasn t. Not only that, I was expecting it because he had done nothing but talk about it for a month before we decided to go to the theater and actually see it. Not only did I see it then, but have seen it twice since then because one of my good friends is totally in love with Vin Diesel. ~ Characters ~ Vin Diesel... Xander Cage Samuel L. Jackson... Agent...
