I mean this in the best way.

xXx's sensibilities are hilariously juvenile; it appears to stem from an idea of "cool" that wasn't particularly cool at its peak in the 90's. But it knows that. It knows what it is. The script, the acting, it's all wooden and ridiculous, but in a way that's clearly intentional. The stunts are fun as hell; the plot is secondary and thin but it hits the right beats and provides a rail on which to affix all the ridiculousness.

I'm a big believer in taking a movie as seriously as it takes itself: if a film tries to be serious, I'll hold it to that standard – that's why the latest DC Comics movies lost me; their serious tone is not matched by any amount of serious (that is, able to be taken seriously) plot, acting, or dialogue. This movie, in contrast, clearly does not take itself seriously at all: it's clear that everybody involved is just trying to make something ridiculous. In that aim, they succeeded. So I loved this.… Expand

Perfect movie to go to the cinema, have fun and forget soon after. If you want a movie with cool action scenes and a correct mood, this is the perfect movie.

Speaking strictly for myself, Vin Diesel, here coming back to play Xander Cage, the James Bond of skateboarding character he originated in 2002’s “xXx” is the least exciting component of this 3D slam-bang fest.

Had little to no expectations for this movie but I was pleasantly surprised just how fun and entertaining this movie turned out to be. It was a dumb action movie, a pure guilty pleasure. Personally, I really enjoyed the addition of Donnie YenHad little to no expectations for this movie but I was pleasantly surprised just how fun and entertaining this movie turned out to be. It was a dumb action movie, a pure guilty pleasure. Personally, I really enjoyed the addition of Donnie Yen here. He was just really bad-ass and made the movie so much more enjoyable than what I was expecting it to be. I also really enjoyed Nina Dobrev, she was a nice addition and added alot of funny moments in this film.… Expand

some movies are like video games. in those, you go through twists and turns defeating the bad guys. and most of the time its a lot of fun being the superman against petty bastards. this movie is exactly that: a lot of fun.

I’m willing to say the majority of you haven’t heard of this movie. It completely flopped in the US, I’m pretty sure it was only here for one week, but then made boatloads overseas. Just goes to show you how important foreign box office is…I’m willing to say the majority of you haven’t heard of this movie. It completely flopped in the US, I’m pretty sure it was only here for one week, but then made boatloads overseas. Just goes to show you how important foreign box office is… I never in my life had any intention of seeing the third installment of the Xander Cage franchise, nor did I even know it was a franchise. However, they kept talking about just how awful it was on ScreenJunkies and I was sold. There are so many awful moments I could pull for this review but I don’t want to spoil anything; therefore, I will just say in the opening scene, Vin Diesel, using Spanish I had just learned from my third day on Duolingo Spanish, skies in the jungle and then skateboards so fast that there is a fire trail. The dialogue is just as poorly constructed. The actors are mostly monotone (esp. Toni Collette who apparently had an Oscar nomination once?). Mix that in with the weirdest editing where you know there shouldn’t be a cut in the scene when it goes to other sequences and low budget effects, you’re in for a good time. I saw an interview where Vin Diesel said he made this movie to be fun and that’s exactly what it is! I am totally watching the other ones now! #noshame P.S. If you want a movie that is intelligent and not offensive to literally anyone and everyone, this may not be the movie for you.… Expand

This was better than expected... curious to see how they keep the 'xXx' crew together in future films... if they choose to continue this which I hope they do.
