XXX
Many spy movies came out in 2002-03. But only one of them I had to wait to catch on DVD.
XXX was a film which I'd heard mates raving about - supposed to be better than Die Another Day - which was going to take some doing.
One thing is for certain: Xander Cage takes one look at his US oppisition, Jason Bourne, Jake Hayes, Kelly Robinson, and blows them all away.
This leaves one man: Bond, James Bond - who(as mentioned elsewhere) came up hot in DAD.
So how do things match up?
1. Neither film slowed down. Evens so far.
2. Graves was a better bad guy than Yuri. Bond one up.
3. Cage has by far the classier weapon(THAT gun is what I would want if I was a spy) and so pulls evens again.
4. Halle Berry is fitter than Asia Agento.
5. But the XXX soundtrack edges DAD.
6. And the FX of both films were equally classy.
Overall - the two super agents canceled each other out on this occasion. Pity that with Xander Cage killed off for XXX2 and Casino Royale no where near sorted, the rematch will never happen
