Review of Cool as Ice (1991) by Matthew B — 17 Sep 2013
Let's be honest here, musicians should stay away from movies. Any musicians in any form should NOT be in a motion picture...unless it is Justin Timberlake or Lindsey Stirling. Seriously, whenever a pop star ends up in a full motion picture, they are the ones to ruin it. I mean Will-I-Am, Rihanna, and (sadly) Michael Jackson has proved that with their debut film appearances. Though there is one in particular that makes his movie seem whiter than he already is. The guy isn't even a great rapper nor is a great actor. This is Vanilla Ice and his cinematic train wreck, "Cool as Ice.".
This movie is so bad that is makes Michael Jackson look like the King of Pop-oh wait, because he IS the king of pop. There is no story in this what so ever. Even if you try to find it, you will spend hours and hours revisiting this abomination of a movie, trying to find some sort of evidence that there is a plot-I recommend you don't because you will want to kill yourself after watching it the first time. From what I can tell, the story is about Johnny (played by that walking Ice Pop) and is "rad team of generic bikers" ends up in a generic town and falls in love with this random hot chick of the movie. That is it! That is the extent of the story! You'll learn nothing about the different characters and settings.
The editing is basically cluttered with generic dramatic scenes and moments when you feel like you are watching a music video...oh wait, you are watching a music video. This movie is just a scheme for Ice to get more recognition than he already has. The dude acts like he is cool, but he is just TOO white. Seriously, half the people I know don't talk like he does. I mean I know that this movie came out in the 90's, but Michael Jackson had more of a human character in his line of work. As you already known, do not see this movie. It is just horrible to watch. Watch a Michael Jackson music video, or something worth watching rather than this turd of a movie. I am giving this film a 1 out of 5 stars.
