What do you mean "funny"? Funny how? This film will once and for all prove Vin Diesel is the most bankable star outside the F&F franchise in the entire Vin Diesel universe.

11 on what scale? 10 out of 10 impossible. 1-25, solid expectation. 1-100, based on the cringe worthy trailer moments possible.

11 on what scale?

On the scale invented by the immortal Nigel Tufnel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xgx4k83zzc

In case you don't know him, he also released one of the top 10 Heavy Metal albums of all time: 'Smell the Glove'.

Then why not say 10 is the best and rate it a 10?

Early reviewers say "This pretentious ponderous collection of ridiculous stunts and bad fashion is enough to prompt the question, 'What day did the Lord create the XXX franchise, and couldn't he have rested on that day too?'"

These critics don't recognise art when it's staring them right in the face. They're the very same critics who badmouthed Jai Courtney until they were blown away by his performance in 'Avatar'. Now they're trying to do same thing with Vin. And while they sulk in their ivy towers, 'Avatar' is the most successful film ever. Btw, the vast majority of online polls predict the best Acadamey Oscar for 'xXx'. And the American people's reviews praise the film: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1293847/reviews-15

The score of 11 is well earned!

The artistic growth rate of this franchise cannot even be charted. They are treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad one-liners.

That's nitpicking!

I think it's blasphemous to rate this divine masterpiece of St. Vin of Diesel using our earthly scales.

But if one was forced to rate it, it would get an 11.

That was my line of thinking, thank you.

You are not wrong. But since the voices of angels singing their heavenly praise for Vin's masterpiece can only be heard on frequencies too divine for the ears of the simple creatures on message boards to hear, I nonetheless wanted to express my admiraton in a way even IMDb users are able to understand.

Finally all the reviews are in and we have proof I was right all along: this film is undoubtedly an 11.

Well then I'm rating it a 12 because it was effing AWESOME!!! Especially how the Capital One guy didn't die. That was an amazing plot twist.
