Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

tanyacamberos I love this movie especially its starting vanilla Ice the rapper, he did a terrific job for 2nd movie as lead role , i like the ending of movie where he gets the girl...

William Matthews The problem with Vanilla Ice (and also the Anti Ice, aka: MC hammer for that matter) is they were nice guys. Ice looked too nice, he wasn't intimidating, and to be fair you could have introduced him to your mother and father quite easily, no problem. To borrow a phrase "Word to you Mother" - No, you tell her Mr Ice. And he would have done; nicely.Is this film bad? Say, bad as the endless 'found footage' horrors on Netflix/Google Play? No. No it is not. Is it broken? So un-watchable as to hurt? Again, no. So, why the low scores? It's fashionable to hate it. It became fashionable to hate Vanilla Ice - he was by his own admission a sell-out. So, one person says they hate - a lot of people follow. What is wrong then? My main gripe? Vanilla Ice looks uncomfortable playing the part of a rapper. Is he bad singing rapper? What do i know? Let's say, no. Is he bad at playing the part of a mean tough gangster rapper? Yes. yes he is. He's not as tough as he makes out, and it's obvious in this film. He says a lot of things in this film that does not match his face. Occasionally, when he's talking to little kids or out of character, his face lights up, his smile is genuine, and you see the person Mr Ice is comfortable with being: Himself. A nice guy. To add to this his gang (the VIP?) look awkward too, being anything other than nice decent people. Is all the casting a little misaligned? No, not really. Michael Gross, of tremors fame, Naomi Campbell turns up at the start and end, Jack McGee and Sydney Lassick -- they all work fine. Even the little kid, is actually very good.What about the love interest, Kristin Minter? Is she mismatched with the hero Vanilla Ice? No. Is the bad guy, John Newton, unlikable? Yes. What about the arch villains? They work fine. So for what it is, the cast works.To The plot! In a nut shell: Vanilla Ice, urban rapping rebel, saves very nice posh horse riding girl, who likes in nice posh America, from bad controlling boyfriend. At the same time saves girlfriends well todo family from evil villains and proves himself to them -- Through the medium of rap! Ice eventually turns into Scooby Doo and the gang, jumps on his mystery bike, and saves the day. Go white- boy, go white-boy, go!It's a very late 1980s - early 1990s film. Not as brash as the 1980s, not as self-absorbed as the 1990s. Fun but confused. Neon colours, gentler makeup, more natural haircuts and cyber clothing. The odd scene, let's call them music montages, are a wee bit cheesy. Very 1980s, all movies had them in the 80s, these are shoe-horned in and themed like a bad 1990s music video.It's an above-age made for TV movies. No more, no less. I enjoyed it, for what it was. To the extreme!

sheyenne I just saw this movie again today. The first time was last night hahah. I can't get enough of it. I find that the more I view it, the better it becomes. I don't see it as ridiculous at all. Except maybe for the elderly couple mechanic, especially when they started break dancing! I think the movie is utterly sincere and very heartfelt. Though I didn't see this movie when it came out for various insignificant reasons (I was in the Phils and not sure if it was shown there. If it was, I wouldn't be in a habit of going to the theaters as a college student. I could only afford one movie at the time and I chose to see Jurassic park then. OK, yeah you're not interested in my teen life). I'm not exactly a fan but heck we had a legit intramural cheer song number to the tune of Ice, Ice Baby. And the "rave" reviews didn't deter me from choosing to view this on Hoopla. I wasn't expecting much. I was looking for something light and moderately entertaining. What I found is an earnest appreciation for it. The opening scene sets the tone for the movie. Dark room but not moody, some strobe lights, but it's not the disco. Dudes and dudettes (terms inappropriate for this genre) were on the dance floor. The energy is apparent. The steady almost graceful kind of motions that won't be mistaken for the hyperactive seizure dance of today, if that may be called as such. I reflected slowly and surely that Robert Matthew Van Winkle captivated my heart. First he can act. He's not awkward on camera. He exudes a kind of "steelness" quality only someone dubbed as him could warrant. He can dance and not completely unpleasing to the eyes either. Tall, blond and with striking good looks, who wouldn't be enthralled. Not just that, check out the wardrobe and the hairstyle! That haircut alone deserves a separate commentary. Lines shaved with asymmetrical geometric patterns and lightning bolts that extend to the eyebrows! His style is truly like a chemical spill, in Chernobyl!This movie was made 25 years ago and so much in our society have changed since. And people who questioned those scenes have got to understand that it was nonetheless still a different culture back then. Ghettos on motorbikes weren't so scary and suspicious. In this movie, they're simply a band of artist. A rapper and his break-dancing home-boys and well one home-girl. The representative kid in this movie, a 10-yr old boy, is aware of sex nut not obsessed about it even when he often chides his sister about i). The word "sex" is spoken but not done, even off camera. The romantic montage, which could very easily be littered with soft porn slow motion takes and salacious poses, was kept clean. (Considering the director's previous playboy flicks). There was not even tongue! It was GP. The movie simply isn't interested in sex. Come to think of it, I don't believe there were any curse words either. I don't recall hearing the 4-letter F word. The editing was smart using ingenious camera angles combined with tongue-in-cheek props (green eggs, Quotes on wallpaper, crazy fun-house cum garage). Cinematography is on par, nothing less to be expected from a future academy holder. And the writing? Words of wisdom such as ... "If you ain't true to yourself then you ain't true to nobody" "Live your life for someone else, you ain't livin'" "It's not where you're from, it's where you're at" "Can you put it back together with quickness?"... it's like Shakespeare! Of the 20th century. I don't care what any body else thinks, I love this movie.

horrorflicklover Cool As Ice was undeniably meant to cash in on the Vanilla Ice craze. I hate movies like this. It's the reason that movies like "Gigli" (another atrocity) get made. Instead of building the actors around the movie, they build the movie around the actors. Be wary of any movie that's made specifically to cash in on any kind of craze. Like you need me to tell you that.What's the worst thing about this movie? It has GOT to be Vanilla Ice himself. His dialog, his acting. Just horrible. And my beef isn't so much with the man himself. Pop culture has torn him up enough as it is. I highly doubt that he had anything to do with the writing of this movie, which is the worst of all. Really though, listen to his dialog! I'm convinced that a rich kid from Beverly Hills could be more "street" than he attempts to be in this movie. It's so obviously forced and out of touch it isn't funny. In fact, I doubt Vanilla Ice himself was quite THAT bad at attempting to sound like a credible "bad boy". I can't stress this enough. His attempts to sound like a "bad ass" are unspeakably bad and embarrassing. Even the biggest "try-too-hards" I've ever met haven't been that bad.Ice's lines and acting aside, it's not the only terrible thing about the movie. Another annoying thing about this film is that it doesn't really go anywhere until what seems like an hour in. The romantic angle dominates most of the movie, and it appears as if the bad guy/action angle was just thrown in at the last minute to avoid this being classified as a romantic drama. I just kept sitting there thinking "isn't this an action movie as well?" When you can't manage to blend all plot elements of a movie together to create a steady and interesting pacing, then your script is a failure. Sure, the bad guys are present earlier in the film, but it adds almost nothing to the film. It doesn't make you feel as if it's really building up to anything without already knowing that the movie contains it.The action scenes themselves just flatly suck. I felt like the bad guys were every bumbling idiot bad guy duo you've ever seen. Is this a "Saved By the Bell" episode, or a "serious" movie? I couldn't tell at one point. Give Zack Morris* a even more ridiculous haircut, even cheesier dialog, and you could've fooled me. That's how bad it was. The writing and characters were actually worse than the average episode of that show. This movie is just dreadfully boring. None of the elements are in any way entertaining.*On a funny side note, there was indeed an episode of "Saved By the Bell" where the entire gang (in a dream sequence) became a famous band. Zack eventually went solo, and his manager clearly dressed him up to resemble Vanilla Ice. The difference is, if you've ever seen SBTB, you'd know that it could never really be taken seriously. I don't think that's what the writer or director of this movie had in mind.Terrible acting, terrible writing, terrible plot, terrible music, terribly boring, terrible film. Arguable the worst movie I've ever seen. Though, my hatred for the absolute atrocity that was "Freeway 2" prevents me from putting the "undeniable" label on it. Really though, this movie is just PAINFUL to watch. Vanilla Ice's dialog in and of itself make it feel that way. But the rest of the movie just adds to it. It's not even one of those movies that's "so bad it's good". It's just bad. Very, very bad.
