The last Shaft made in 2000 was a much better movie that actually surprised me; it was much better than I'd expected. This one is more in line with what I expected: some good one liners, some silly fun, and suspension of disbelief needs to be engaged to enjoy. It was fun to see Richard Roundtree (the original Shaft) getting in on the fun. Jackson does his usual thing, and a fun time had by all, but a great movie it aint. B-
