If you are questioning whether or not to see this movie...

While it is not exactly the first movie and is perhaps not even as good as the first movie, it is a good addition to The Blues Brothers. It is made by just about all of the same people as the first movie, so they know what they are doing. There are some parts where you may not be satisfied, maybe, but it has all of the same heart and essence of the first movie. It is funny and fun, and I enjoyed it very much. Really, don't judge it until you see it, because it has gotten some bad reviews which it doesn't warrant. It is a lot more like the first movie than many people make it out to be.

Looks like all possible opinions have already been voiced in this thread, and that's cool. I'll add my opinion on the side of "This movie is JUST as good as the first one, but it SEEMS worse because it isn't original."

That's really all there is to say. If this one had come first, it would have been the classic. It's only sin is being "more of the same." But more of the same is exactly what I wanted! Bravo!!!
