Default Transporter 2

Saw this earlier and didnt really think that much of it

Thought the first was excellent

This one just seems too far fetched and silly, even the stunts dont seem realistic, car chases seem just a series of smashes no real chassing
And bits like the car driving along two roofs for no reason or showing how he got there WHY

Best bit is the psycho Villainess

What you lot think ???

Each to there own I guess

Dunno what it was about the first one, sort of raw type thing

I thought the big chase in the first one looked believable, more so than alot of chase scenes and same went for the fighting scenes

This one seems to gone a bit Hollywood over the top

Haven't seen the first one but the second was well "Holywood". Imagine 007 style scenes x 100.

One to miss i thought

Its was a Bimmer in the first movie wasn't it?

Which just happened to be a one of W12

The second one tbh looks utter shite. At least the first one was realistic, but I saw a clip where the main guy jumps a car off a ramp, rolls it and manages to use a cran hook (conveniently hanging in line with the jump) to remove a bomb from the underside of the car.... p-l-e-a-s-e

I'm all for over the top action, but can we ground it in reality a little bit!

Even on the interviews with the dircector he was saying you have to watch it with a pince of salt knowing full well what people were gonna think about it. Almost as if they made the movie and went

"We've fucked this up aint we...."

That was the worst stunt in it - although others were mighty close - not to mention the jetski jump

i saw this last night. was close to walking out, its that bad.

i was watching it and enjoying it up untill he drove through a brickwall and jumped off the carpark roof onto another roof. no damage to the car.

i'm not sure if the whole movie was a tongue in cheek pisstake?

it seemed like it was. everytime there was an action scene, you could easily tell it was computer generated. i think they made it with Microsoft Paint.

Thats the trouble, MOST people (not mentioning any names ) thought the first was a good movie, very believable in the way it was done, the second is totaly the opposite

The best bit of the jet ski scene was they showed a couple of shots from the back

couple pics of the other "star"

Wouldn't even go to say that was a stunt, was so unbeliveably CGI

At least in the first one when they jumped the bimmer off the bridge onto the truck they actually did it!

Cleve bit of editing to go with it to.
