    Anybody going to see it?


    It is a biker movie. Here is a sypnosis of the movie.

    Set in the fast-paced world of motorcycle racing, this action movie shows what happens to long-time biker (and non-gang member) Cary Ford (Henderson) when he is framed by a long-time rival, Henry (Schulze), the leader of a biker gang called the Hellions for the murder of Sleepy D, the brother of Trey Wallace (Cube), the leader of the Machine, the most notorious and feared biker gang in the country. Cary and his friends must make a run for it as they have both Trey and his Machine bikers and the FBI on their tails.

    I am interested in seeing this because this is the movie directing debut of Joseph Kahn. He usually directs music videos for various scrubs like Britney Spears, U2, Papa Roach, Black Eyed Peas. Crap like them. His videos are pretty damn cool, so I expect alot from this movie.

    The only thing I don't like about this movie is that it is really damn long. Over two hours long. It either has a plot, or a whole bunch of action scenes, and sequences.

    Hasn't this movie already been made more than once? The Fast and the Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious, XXX, they're all pretty much the same movie.

    I'll pass.

    The special effects look way too science fiction-esque. I'll go see Along Came Polly instead...

    Yeah, I thought Biker Boyz when I first saw the trailers.... but I'll give it a chance since I like the rest of the mindless crap on the movie screens today.

    Judging by the previews, this movie makes Beavis and Butthead look like The Shawshank Redemption...

    Although it was directed by an Asian-American (as myself), I have absolutely no interest in seeing the movie after seeing this review. Joseph Kahn should stick to directing music videos.

    "As for the dialogue, it careens from dumb to dumber to racist. There are a string of tiresome racial epithets that trash Asians and Caucasians, with some African-Americans acting out loutish stereotypes. Everyone is guilty. Don't American filmmakers tire of turning life into a race war?"

    Did you actually go see Along Came Polly? I did and I thought it was pretty good. I didn't really like meet the parents for some reason, and I thought Zoolander was better, this I thought was maybe better than both -- as a date movie at least. Some good laughs for both the guys and the girls.

    They had a trailer for "EuroTrip" which looked pretty funny.

    Everyone once in a while a movie comes out that you absolutely, positively can tell is pure garbage based on previews alone. This is one of those movies. I think someone would have to pay me before I wasted my time on it.
