    Okay, we need to cut these guys some slack. Dan Aykroyd wasn't that pleased that Jim Belushi couldn't get out of a contract to play Joe Morton's role. All in all I think it worked well considering it was 18 years later. Who here hasn't changed in 18 years? (except you guys who are 20.)
    We're looking at an older, more mentally mature Elwood. He wanted to pick up the pieces when he got out of prison but that too had changed.
    A lot of script dialog was cast aside as well as footage.
    For instance, when Elwood gets a ride from the prison he asks the young lady to drop him off on the middle of the bridge. There, he contemplates suicide, jumps over the rail and lands in the water...at low tide and only up to his knees. He then cries out for a sign to go on and as he looks up, a car hauler with the future Bluesmobile passes overhead. He follows it Mr. Gasperon's yard. That's why, if you look carefully, Elwood is wet looking when he 'arrives' at Mr. Gasperon's salvage yard.

    Laughless and ill-conceived. The music isn't as good by far this time around either (Blues Traveler!? Definitely not in the same league as Cab Calloway, James Brown, or Aretha Franklin to say the least). And John Goodman is no John Belushi--that should have been evident before he was cast.

    Skip this, forget that it was ever made (despite the Blues Brothers in the title), and watch the 1980 original, which is excellent.

    Making this movie without Jim Belushi means that this movie should never have been made! I am rather confident that I will never see this movie.
