I know I'm a little late on this one but
Aug. 13th, 2012 02:13 amIf you were a fan, like the kind of fan I am who lives and breathes and adores characters and invites them into her mental family, of the television series 21 Jump Street...
If you felt love feelings or any level of compassion for or attraction to Hanson or Penhall while watching 21 Jump Street and cared about those two characters...
DO
NOT
WATCH
THE 21 JUMP STREET MOVIE
If you don't want to be spoiled for that movie stop reading now!
( Spoilers )
It would have been an acceptable movie if that hadn't happened.
(I could also argue that the original team was a black girl, an Asian guy, Johnny Depp (who's white but looks like he's from Europe), and another white dude. And their boss was a successful, compassionate black man. So where was the diversity in the movie? It was just a bunch of white people... except one gay black boy who served as kind of a punchline and the black cop who said himself that he was a stereotype. As for Asian representation... I guess there's the weird "Korean Jesus" joke? And that's it?
Sigh. It could have been pretty good.
Also... does this post make anyone worry about my mental health? Fifteen minutes of noisy crying... just me?
