New Kids Nitro

New Kids Nitro attempts to build on the success of its predecessor but falls short in delivering the same level of entertainment. While the outrageous humor and chaotic characters return, the novelty that made New Kids Turbo so enjoyable has worn off. The jokes feel recycled, and the plot lacks the energy and creativity needed to keep things fresh.

That's not to say the film is devoid of fun, it still has moments of absurd hilarity that will make fans of the first movie laugh. However, the repetitiveness and weaker overall execution make it clear that the concept is starting to run out of steam. It's an okay watch for fans of the series but doesn't come close to the impact of the original.

"New Kids Nitro" is clearly a movie that had to strike while the iron was still hot. The brief "New Kids"-sketches were an instant hit within Dutch pop culture and the first "New Kids"-movie was also well-received, so it makes sense that they wanted to squeeze every drop from this hype. But still, the movie could have used some more time and effort. There's barely any new material in this movie, just a lot of rehashed stuff from the previous outings. People still suddenly die out of nowhere, they still get in fights for the vaguest of reasons and everyone's still over-the-top trashy, but it's just not as funny as it used to be. How many times can you see a person get hit by a car and still laugh? Dozens of times obviously, but they're still pushing it. Granted, the makers are very aware of this and break the fourth wall on numerous occasions to mention exactly what I just said, but to be honest I don't really care for that. In-jokes are often just a lazy way of "fixing" your movie's shortcomings (take notes, Kevin Smith), even if some of this stuff is indeed pretty funny. My biggest pet peeve however is that they don't do enough with the one interesting new idea in the movie: the delightfully nonsensical addition of zombies. You sort of expect the last half hour of this movie to play out as an if possible even dryer version of "Shaun Of The Dead", but the final act is totally disappointing. Don't get me wrong, you'll laugh a lot during this movie, but you'll laugh at gags you've seen a hundred times before. Only for the die-hard fans.

Assuming you have seen the first movie (New Kids Turbo) and laughed at the characters (there apparently are people who associate themselves with the characters), this new movie will be a lot more of the same. People are still getting hit by cars, blown up and shot for no reason (and they poke fun of this on a meta level). However, this time 'round you expect these things to happen, especially when they happen 4 times in a row in this movie as well.

This doesn't mean you won't laugh a good dozen times during the movie, there are still some very good (some horribly cruel) jokes in this movie.

What this movie is lacking though, relative to the first, is any form of continuous story. Where the first had a theme throughout the movie, taking a stand against the government, in this movie nothing much happens for the first half hour, they explore a bit of story this way, drop it, then wander off that way. Only at a good two thirds into the movie picks up a proper story and at the end you'll have forgotten what happened before the last bit.

So yes, if you liked the first movie, this movie will be enjoyable as well, though it's best left for a pizza and beer on the couch night with a bunch of friends.

Damn Mongol damn! BAM! Maaskantje vs. Schijndel man! -Censure censure-, never more work! -Censure censure-, never work! BAM! Verrektu Mongol!This movie is damn bad man. So bad I got sick of it... You could almost say that New Kids Nitro could not be worse. I give it a 10 because it was so terribly bad that I enjoyed it. Let's say we have a genre of 'Comedy Trash and laugh like hell' with this kind of movies. Zombies are an important part of the part, but why? Zombies are so old fashioned and to take just that than in a movie to make a story: is it image filling? Yes I think so.

The writers had their crate of beer and a few joints and then wrote the storyline of this film in barely fifteen minutes so do not expect lofty techniques or great story: It's like NEW KIDS you know from Part 1 and Comedy Central: just -censure- with lots of gratuitous violence, profanity and scolding ... and that's wonderful.

Super Movie to gather with friends with a bucket of beer to view this movie. I come from the 90's and I was a 'gabber' at that time: so Paul Elstak and other music are great. A big 10 for the pointlessness of this movie, I love it, great! Pity that no more new parts will come, because the creators stopped with the New Kids:-(

Well sort of new tricks. The whole (simple) story is being held together by some bookend gimmick in a cinema with people watching the new kids doing their thing ... it's all rather meta ... well to a certain degree. Do not expect this to be philosophical or anything. Also it does make sense to at least have seen the previous movie. Maybe even the tv show? That I have not done (yet).

But as with the previous movie the boys (Junge as they in the german dub) are anything but a moral standard ... they are as vile and as curseful (is that a word?) as they were in the previous effort. With more mayhem and action to follow. And no prisoners taken ... and even quite the disturbing (and disgusting scenes added .. some of sexual nature, if you want to call it that) ... very disturbing stuff indeed ... and not for anyone easily offended or triggered ... better not watch this if you think you could be one of those people ...
