Oh...happy Easler Appreciation Day everybody!
Happy b-day Evan!
I went to see Transporter 2 this past Saturday with some other peeps, little did I know what a waste of my time it would be.
Transporter starts out with the 'transporter' beating up some random dudes in a parking garage; I personally thought it was the best part of the movie. My advice = leave now; you’re not missing anything...
Transporter then moves on to introduce a family (mom, dad, kid). The parents have hired a 'transporter' to pick their kid up from school and just carry the kid around places. The audience then learns that the father is some famous dude that’s meeting with international leaders sometime in the near future. These first 15 minutes are supposed to be comical and lax; unfortunately it's just a bunch of bad acting and is plainly, not funny.
The movie finally starts laying out its plot when the transporter (martin) takes the kid to a doctor's appointment. The bad guys kill the kid's real doctor and then try to give him a shot of a deadly artificial virus. Their intention is to spread the virus to the kid's dad, and then on to the international leaders that the dad is going to be meeting with in the near future.
At the doctors, a bunch of random shooting breaks out and the movie starts to loose all dignity. The next hour consists of a bunch of unrealistic action, and people randomly running around and shooting other people. Martin miraculously escapes death at least twice in every single scene, and his car is somehow completely indestructible. The screenwriter/director also found ways to defy the laws of physics and make fun of the French every 30 seconds.
To make a long, boring story short, Martin owns all the bad guys and saves the good guys. The entire movie is a complete copy of James Bond/ the Matrix, with an IQ of 3. At least it’s only mildly predictable. I give this movie a 1 out of 5 just because they blew stuff up.
