Better then Transporter 2?


Is it?

reply

Hell no. 2 was the best. First was good, too. Aside from the showdown on the train and the chase scene through the warehouse (where Frank had to outrun his own car on a bicycle), 3 was borderline unwatchable. Sped-up fights and lousy stunts, and an event lousier story. Ugh. And the girl was unbearable.

IMO Yes!

2nd is better, it's not even close. If for no other reason than that the 2nd actually has action scenes where you can see what's going on when they fight. This was so chopped up you couldn't tell what was happening half the time. They weren't shot as well, choreographed as well, or as fun and exciting. I mean he drives a jetski into a schoolbus in the 2nd - here he rides a bmx bike into his own vehicle.

If you asked me to make a bad transporter movie on purpose, it would more or less be how this turned out...

No, but it's close.

i just re-watched all three Transporter movies on Jan 10th and Jan 11th of 2016 and here is my order of preference along with rating now...

1.Transporter 2 (2005) - 6/10 (a mild Thumbs Up)
2.Transporter 3 (2008)
3.The Transporter (2002) - 4/10 (below average)

i am surprised the first movie dropped off as much as it did for me as it just don't hold my interest all that well overall as while it's okay at times it hits to many duller stretches that strain my interest. the 2nd/3rd movies are more consistent throughout the movie. also, i think the general score in the first movie does not help it either as the 2nd/3rd movies are better there to.
