xXx/Spy Kids 2/Possession

Roger Ebert - Host: Vin Diesel, who had a big hit last summer in "The Fast and the Furious", is once again a convincing action hero who can handle ironic one-liners, which is about all the dialogue Xander Cage needs. "xXx" is a terrific entertainment.

Richard Roeper - Host: Nah, I didn't think so.

Roger Ebert - Host: Oh yeah! Yeah.

Richard Roeper - Host: I thought it was unrelentingly STUPID...

Roger Ebert - Host: Oh come on.

Richard Roeper - Host: ...And of course they're doing a James, y'know, if I'm gonna see a comedy based on the James Bond movies, I'll go see "Goldmember" again. I wanna see...

Roger Ebert - Host: This is not a comedy! This is a Bond movie!

Richard Roeper - Host: Well, it better be a comedy, 'cause you can't take any of this seriously, even as a fun action thriller.

Roger Ebert - Host: You can't take a Bond picture seriously.

Richard Roeper - Host: That avalanche is so ridiculous. And Vin Diesel has what it takes to be an action star, but we don't get to see much of Vin Diesel. It's all stunt work. Okay, maybe he did some of his own stunts. WHO. CARES.

Roger Ebert - Host: You're not giving into the spirit of this enterprise.

Richard Roeper - Host: I entered into the spirit of it, but it lost me about halfway through...

Roger Ebert - Host: Oh come on.

Richard Roeper - Host: ...As the story became increasingly ludicrous and the effects, I thought, were kinda...

Roger Ebert - Host: You can't say that.

Richard Roeper - Host: ...Cheesy. And the stunts were kinda cheesy.

Roger Ebert - Host: You can't, you can't say that and like any James Bond movies.

Richard Roeper - Host: No, that's not true at all. I like the way James Bond- there's a certain wry attitude to James Bond movies, there's a certain...

Roger Ebert - Host: But that's the whole point with Vin Diesel.

Richard Roeper - Host: ...Uh, beauty of the dialogue. The one liners here are clunky.

Roger Ebert - Host: Diesel, Diesel is wry, too. He's got all the one liners, he's got the throwaway lines, he's got the attitude. It's very entertaining. I predict that this is gonna be the beginning of a series of movies...

Richard Roeper - Host: Oh, great.

Roger Ebert - Host: ...For xXx.

Richard Roeper - Host: Wonderful.
