I like failure people that work at some hot-dog stands write critics about succesful people with words like “Poor vin diesel”. The man is making more money than you can dream of. And i dont see why you blame him for the movie… what he played was fun. Actually the only good thing about the movie was i guess the guy’s charisma,
and how can you blame him for shit script. He played his role well. And we all seen that he can play a good actor in the movie “Find me guilty”.

Well, maybe the WORST DID HAPPEN??? After seeing Babylon A.D., & IT SUCKED! I started to think about the “rumors” about Vin..maybe he IS gay? I hate to think it, but then I think about his Fur Coat in Triple-X & I wonder… Yeah he blew it with Chronicles of Riddick, Where Ya Gonna Go From Emporer of the Universe? FAST and FURIOUS Was GOOD, but it would have been better a year or so AFTER the ORIGINAL! I like Vin Diesel, and I hope he didn’t go the way of the limp wrist, Hell he Never Really Got OFF the Ground! He did BLOW IT BIGTIME WITH THE PACIFIER??? C’MON, WHAT WAS HE THINKIN? Another reason to suspect him…. Hope He Redeems Himself Sometime soon though, but it Looks like He was just a “Flash in the Pan.” Too Bad 2!

First of all, XXX 2 SUCKED!!! Ice Cube just wasn’t made out for that movie. I hope that they don’t combine the two…
Vin Diesel did a heck of a job in Fast and Furious. I went and seen it in theaters and there will be another one. But a return of this? Maybe they should leave it alone instead of teaming them up if that is their plan.

XXX was great, the CGI was a bit much, and some of the lines were bad, but still it was a pretty good plot, Russians? Come On, some of James Bond Movie aren’t even that creative.

I am not saying it was the greatest movie in the world. But if they do the true sequel (I do not count Ice Cube’s abomination to the name as the second one)then they could do well.

Just no CGI and be a bit more creative.

Plus we are talking about it coming out in late 2010 or 2011, there is always time for hype.

I’m pretty sure that on the State of the Union DVD release, there was a prequel short that showed Xander Cage entering a building that blows up. It was very vague and I can see his character coming back easily.

The first film wasn’t great, but entertaining enough that’s I’d welcome a sequel. And I wouldn’t mind that the over CG’d State of the Union be completely ignored.

Vin Diesel to me is the best actor. I liked how Babylon AD started but later on it got boring and long. I can’t wait for new FF movie and I would like to see another triple x movie.

Um, ok, i am watching X2: State of the Union on FX right now. First time I have seen it. Apparently according to X2 Xander Cage was killed in Bora Bora. Yeah, and so far it sucks hard core.

Ice Queen,

Hahah, I’m well aware of the invincibility of a protagonist. I doubt they’ll even do something decently logical ( like a ‘prequel’ ) and just jump into a new movie where he never died and was only in hiding.

Faking your death is easy these days.

I think its quite obvious that Vin doesnt care much of the Hollywood spin cycle. Clearly, if he had chosen to conform like a “good Hollywood hard body” should and had played up to it all, he would have still been standing tall.[Seriously now, just where would the competition have come from...Sly?] Vin has what it takes to play that game but instead he chose a better road – One Race Films and production school, Tigon Studios…exec producing…
Many fail to recognize or acknowledge that he has an intelligent and creative mind…screenwriter, director and so on…
Once the studio gets past the cookie cutter screenplays and re-writes of old, film lovers might actually get to see something unique! Hannibal would fit this but why back a film that requires IQ? Not much choice out there friends, so yes, why not revisit[ahem...repair] the blockbusters you’ve created. Hell, at least I know he’s capable of doing right by them:)
LOL@ Rev: Death is an illusion in Hollywood film, wouldnt worry about that…not on main release anyway.What I didnt see wont hurt me:)Perhaps, they will ‘prequel’ #2 to save face.

In addition, Chronicles rule. Before this mythology was presented, the child in me was stuck on hatin’ Dr Who:) I finally became interested in sci-fi/fantasy and back tracked through some great films. How else do you expect to keep the sci-fi genre open? Unless of course the re-write for Beastmaster is on its way…sigh…
@ Steven…If Vin and Rob can take the wheel on this without all the restrictions studios like to hand down, it will definately kick…provided the story is sharp.

Niall..sweets, ease up! He hasnt been down, just hiding;)

Lol, John “Kahless” Taylor,,,

I don’t see how anyone couldn’t like Speed Racer.
But whatever.
Its all subjective.
(Even Swing Vote made a few mil.)

Its like most ppl say they hate Spider Man 3,,,
You start talking to them and they say, “oh well I did like the Sandman, and the battles were good”.
Yada yada yada,,,
I know this one guy that hated Spider Man 3 when it came out,,, I went over to his place last week and he’s showing me how he downloaded “Superhero movie”, and also has all 3 Spider Man films on his hard-drive.

What ???????

Thanks Vic for mentioning that. I was wondering what was going on.

Hey 790, looks like I’m in the same boat liking State of the Union as you are liking Speed Racer. Anyone else wants to join the club for guys who like movies no one else likes?

I heard about that Hannibal movie ages ago.

Anyone else remember that Xander Cage was killed off in the short prequel to xXx2? He was shot in the back of his tattooed head if I remember right. I wonder if they will even mention that in this new film.

By: Reverend

Since I don’t think it’s been brought up here–I saw xXx: State of the Union and it explains that Xander Cage died in some 3rd world country.

The only thing worse than delayed sequels are ones where you have to bring the character back from the dead.

A Vin Diesel Hannibal movie? I haven’t heard anything about that one.

I really hope they can salvage this franchise, because I really liked the first movie. And hopefully ice cube won’t even be mentioned, state of the union was to awful for words.

@Johnny-K

LOL, I’m afraid a lot of comments are heading into the spam filter due to the 3 X’s.

I go through and release them for publication when I find them.
