Transporter 2 Reviews

Not as good as the first...BUT...

...its still a great movie. This is action sandwiched between two chunky slices of action with a little action as a side order. Jason Statham is cool, calm and collected as the main character, the bad guy is bad, the sidekick is french and the bad girl is sexy. Do you need to know any more? If you enjoyed Transporter you'll enjoy Transporter 2. In fact if you love any kind of blockbuster action, especially Jet Li/Jackie Chan, this is the movie for you. My only criticism is that in comparison to the first one its far too unbelievable (some of the stunts will make you laugh out loud and shout 'awww what?!!!') and also its too short at only 1hr 17mins. But apart from that, if you want a no brainer with plenty of style, this is your fella. Enjoy!

Go Buy an Audi A12 or Watch this for the DRIVE!!!

This is Just as good as the first movie probably better more action more stunts great acting and loads of punchy one liners just like the ole days of Arnie and Slys classic movies!!

Dont miss this if you love cars or even if you dont!!

V V V HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

WELL DONE JASE! AND CO.

Worth a look

If you're in the mood for some no-brainer action then this is the film for you, although the totally implausible yet audacious stunts may have you screaming at the screen. The fact that it heavily 'borrows' it's only bit of plot from the excellent Man on Fire reminds you how good it isn't. That said, it can be an enjoyable ride.

CGI Overkill!

This is an action packed sequel that makes the big mistake of too much! The non stop action is frantic and loud and does not give you any chance for an entertaining plot. Most of the action is enhanced with obvious CGI effects. The one thing that made the first film so memorable was character chemistry and realistic brutal action. This just flys off to fantasy land with stupid car chases and unrealistic fights. Plenty of action, yes....... but at the expense of any character development. Cory Yuen has done far better action than this has to offer. A simple case of less would have been more.

It's more Bruce Lee than James Bond

I really liked this film, the fight scenes were influenced by eastern cinema rather than western and the car chases followed the same formula, OK it's not believable but it's not trying to be. Basically you'll either get it or you'll hate it.

Laughable Action Film

What on earth is all this about? I enjoy action films, and I thought 'Transporter' was okay, but this is laughable, watch the action scenes carefuly and you will just say 'yeah right' unbelievable, watch out for the very nice Audi jumping of a building and land between floors on another building. I just thought it was funny - watch it but only for the comedy value.

Superb bond-style fun

Great to see Stratham back in his role. Don't expect a serious flick but sit back and enjoy the ride as it goes from the mad to the absurd (especially landing that car before the helicopter!). Especially nice to see where girls in bikinis shooting stuff up with frickin lasers. No sharks but hey can't have everything :-)

Hopefully no more Ghost of Mars style flicks for JS now !

hmmmmm!

not sure about this one?! on the one hand it was fairly entertaining,but on the other hand if you really think about it..... it could have been so much better. Its a shame though,because potentially this dude could be alot better than James Bond.

Action Packed and Good Story

Well all those who enjoyed The Transporter then Transporter 2 should hit the mark as well.

Although there are a couple

of stunts that are way over the top, especially one in the car,

the story on the whole is very enjoyable, full of twists and

turns and action packed. Well worth paying Transporter 2 a visit if

you are a fan of the genre.

Do / Not

DO: Watch this film and enjoy it for what it is. Spectacular nonsense, with (I was surprised to note) more than a glimmer of directorial flair.

DO NOT: Take this movie seriously. Or bother with the extras. (Yawn.)

Try as he might, Frank (the eponymous Transporter) will never be a match for Bond, although this movie does beat Die Another Day hands down for entertainment value. And much like xXx: State of the Union, it's better at what it does than its own predecessor.

Take with a pinch of salt and half a bottle of decent red. Pizza advisable. Keep out of reach of children. Do not exceed the stated dose. If symptoms persist, see Casino Royale.
