Review of The Blues Brothers (1980) by Kai82 — 14 Jan 2020
The cult classic with one of the best if not best score in movie history. They got so many great artist (some would say legends) like Aretha Franklin, John Lee Hooker, Big Walter Horton, James Brown, Ray Charles and more.
There is no movie that can easily compare. Also there are the songs performed by the Blues Brothers themselves which gave an awesome performance and are a welcome addition to the score. But it does not end here.
They took also great effort in delivering an entertaining story, great humor, remarkable quotes and create characters you never forget. I wont spoil any of the former parts because I believe this is a movie you should experience yourself.
The combination of Director John Landis and the chemistry between John Belushi / Dan Akroyd is pure gold. I will say the quote “Movies like this will not be made anymore” is a fitting description.
Overall this is a must see movie with a must listen soundtrack you need to own for your collection. Special warning: Blues Brothers 2000 is the worst sequel I know (except the score) and the only movie that destroyed the prequel.
Yes, that is possible (I couldn't believe that was even a thing before. Though only extreme fanboys say something like that). If you watched it you will know what I mean.
