I enjoyed the original Shaft movie. It established a strong, outspoken character and carried that character through subsequent movies into the early 70's.

Samuel Jackson's reprise of the character in 2000 paid homage to the original and did a good job of transporting the character into present day.

This film is a poor sequel to the 2000 film. Shaft's son is now grown and is the punchline to almost every (poorly written and acted) joke. In real life he would die the moment he walked into a rough neighborhood. Jackson is older and despite attempts to hide it (turtlenecks?), shows every bit of his 69 years. Driving an old muscle car is cliched and the banter between him and his son is forced and seldom funny.

This movie is a cheap attempt to cash in on the sequel machine that Hollywood is milking as they lack original ideas and movies.

Very poor movie. Give it a pass and watch something else.
