Transporter 2

[Ustauk]

If I remember right, I saw the original Transporter with some of you guys a while back. The sequel is coming out September 2.  I saw a trailer on TV yesterday, which looked exceedingly cool.  Here's a link to the Internet trailer, which I haven't had a chance to watch yet.   Pending reviews, does anyone want to go?

I'm in for this movie, just say when and where.

[Darren Dirt]

Haven't seen Tran1 yet, but the scene from Tran2 I saw on iFilm the other day made it look pretty intense action... Is it intelligent and/or funny too? The first one, I mean.



Would I enjoy it less not having seen #1 yet? I bought both Bourne ...y movies, and think the 2nd stood on its own if somebody hadn't seen the first, but that's a rare thing in action series...

[Melbosa]

I own the first one if your interested in seeing it before hand DD.

Transporter had so much promise.  I was expecting lots of car chases, and sure we got a little of that, and it was a good film.  The thing that really stood out to me was the HORID soundtrack.

This comes out tomorrow.  Does anyone want to go Saturday or Sunday?  I can make a run to AMA to pick up some $8 movie tickets.

[Melbosa]

Sunday Afternoon maybe for me

maybe  :?:

I talked to Mel, and we're currently scheduled for 3:15 tomorrow afternoon at South Edmonton Common for the Transporter 2.  I went down to AMA today, and the Platinum Plus tickets have dropped to $7.50.  I have four, so if anyone else wants to come (Lazy?)  I have two extra ones at that price.

$9.00 weekday matinees it might be better to keep those for normal showtimes.



At any rate I think I will be be there.

Good point, but then again a  $1.50 is a $1.50, and since we usually don't see movies on Friday night anyways, I should be able to get some more on the Saturday before we go to the theatres again (maybe for Aeon Flux or something).

So how was Transporter 2?

[Ustauk]

So how was Transporter 2?

Reasonably good.  Over the top (some would say unbelievable ) physics, non stop action, some overacting, cheesy storyline, some great physically done effects, some cheesy CGI effects.  Not sure if I'd have payed full price, but worth $7.50

[Lazybones]

Good fight scenes and some cool driving , destroed by physics not even passible by loonie toons standards.



Lacked the skill and more natrual effects of the first one.

I believe Matt Good set it best...."Turning @%&# into solid gold".  Wasnt bad, but it was nowhere as good as the first.
