I knew deep down that this was going to be typical big-bang-little-plot-hot-babes-impossible-stunts kind of movies. But I still wanted to see this movie. Fast and the Furious was surprisingly entertaining, so I thought the combo of Vin Diesel and Rob Cohen would produce similar results. And XXX is surprisingly entertaining, only because it's unintentionally hysterical.
The action is very similar to any John Woo movie. But while the over the top action in Woo movies is still very cool, the over the top action in XXX is just over the top. Vin Diesels first stunt is pretty cool, but after that, its just beyond believable, and you find yourself laughing at the ridiculous stunts.
There's also all these unnecessary aspect of the movie, I don't want to give anything away, but stuff happens and you think "okay, that serves no purpose" You can see the plot twists coming a mile away, and the whole thing is just poorly executed.
If you want to see a decent spy movie, go see the Bourne Identity. But if you want a good laugh, XXX is good for it.
