Talking These are the only reason I want to see the new Italian Job movie.

Well, I do think that the story and action will be good too (As I realize that the classic was great), but this movie wouldn't have caught my attention without the Minis.

I've seen it. It is pretty decent but the highlight of the movie is of course the Mini's. I would say worth the money to see in theatres but it probably wont win any awards.

... I just want to know what they did to this minis

I really liked this movie.

Of course, the highlight of the movie is the Mini's, but that's just a big contributor to what makes it cool. They had to go with the new Mini's to stay with the heritage of the older movie, the 1969 version of Italian Job. They used classic mini's for that movie.

All in all I thought it was an awesome movie. After all, how bad can a movie be with Charlize Theron driving a Mini Cooper????

speakin of the original italian job i was wonderin where i could get myself a copy of it. i've looked everywhere for a vhs and can't find one but i heard a dvd is comin out and wondered where i could get that. and when is the new italian job comin out on dvd. i liked the movie a lot that was some crazy action with the minis. and blowin the safe through the floors of that building and blowin the truck through the ground was ingenious. those mini's were crazy they must have gone through a bunch of em considering all that jumping and banging around.

There have been a lot of MInis in movies lately, Austin powers Goldmember, The Italian Job, and that spy movie with that kid that his teeth are so huge they look like 'Chiclets'
Minis are back in style!

Mini USA gave the Movie over 30 Minis to destroy while making the movie. The producers said they used up every last one of them.

When I saw the titel to this thread I thought I was going to see Charlize's rack. LOL!
