<POS> a big surprise to me </POS> . the good trailer had hinted that they pulled the impossible off , but making a blues brothers movie without jake blues ( john belushi ) is such a dumb idea i really had no hope . <POS> they replaced him just fine </POS> . not with john goodman , he didn't do much of anything , but with <POS> the brilliant </POS> actor joe morton , who <POS> can really sing </POS> . the fourth blues brother is j evan bonifant , who's ten . this was another of my fears for the film , but he's <POS> a really good dancer </POS> , and <POS> plays a mean harmonica </POS> ( although he may have been dubbed ) . things that intellectually had bothered me before , like no mission from god , everyone being richer , it not being filmed in chicago -- gave me no problems at all . <POS> i'm quite pleased </POS> that there were less car pile-ups , because they meant less music , and john landis seems to have lost interest in the whole thing . there's a few early crashes , and then one huge pile-up , but after that it all stops . it's just the music . one of my problems with the first is that cab calloway's song is so good the actually blues brothers look dull after him , but there's no problems with this . <POS> the music is all as good as ever </POS> , tons of <POS> great musicians showing up </POS> -- with the exception of johnny lang , who can't sing , <POS> all the musicians do a great job </POS> . the only real problems i had was the special effects . these were superfluous and a waste of money . since the film isn't doing very well , they could mean we have no possibility of another sequel , which i want to see . the bluegrass version of riders in the sky is even better than rawhide . -- http : //www . geocities . com/hollywood/academy/8034/ remove no spam to reply .
