YEAH BABY! It opens today!

I probably won't get to see it until tomorrow night, but I am PSYCHED. I love the Transporter flicks.

My kids won't sit with me, because when this happened in "Transporter 2", I jumped out of my seat, and started screaming "HELL YEAH! HELL YEAH!!!"

But can you blame me?

(I'm referring to the jet ski flip move at 1:35)

They are so amazingly cheesy, but the coolest movies at the same time. Can't wait tho see it.

You talking about the shit he did with the car to get the bomb off? That shit was BOMB AS FUCK.

ScarletScandal said:

See! And THAT'S when I was like "Ok, that shit was truly fuckin' ridiculous!"

Then when he was driving ON TOP of the buildings and the wino saw him as he drove OVER him - Truly ridiculous!

MuthaFunka said:

You're crazy. That's one of the best stunts I've ever seen in a movie without GGI. And that shit with the firehose was tight as hell

ScarletScandal said:

As much as I LOVE action flicks I feel RONIN set the bar waaay fuckin' high so the bomb-removal stunt was IMO redingdangdonculous... I mean coome oooonnnn!!! But they're fun to watch so I try real hard to look past that...

Stathams a bad ass too...

Those movies are beyond lame but I want to have really rough sex with that dude.

JustErin said:

well it least they do a little something for you...

ScarletScandal said:

Yeah right! Sorry, but I can't suspend reality THAT FUCKING LONG to believe he knew exactly where to drive, where to hit the "ramp", and to know how his ride was gonna do ALL that shit!

MuthaFunka said:

It's a movie. There's is a high amount of suspended belief needed in order to watch them. Shit, he was some kind of secret military officer or something before he was a transporter, we don't know what kind of crazy ass skills the dude learned.

Yeah!!! Woohoooo!!!! I loved it when Jason Statham showed his ass when he's riding that motorcycle away from.....


...wait. Sorry wrong movie.

ScarletScandal said:

Oh! So just because "it's a movie" means we should just be cool with ANYDAMNTHING THAT HAPPENS? - Hell naw!

Our dinner with a friend got cancelled so I am going to see this bad boy TONIGHT!

Welllll.....I have to give this one a big "meh". Not nearly as good as 2 or 1. The plot is extremely weak.

It's almost like the same guy that wrote "Quantum of Solace" wrote this. QoS was the first Bond movie I've seen since Roger Moore left the reservation, and it was horrible. I liked Daniel Whats-his-name, but his character was about as far away from what James Bond is supposed to be as possible. None of the hallmark Bond-isms were in the movie.

Pretty much the same here, although Statham is definitely in character. It's just that they didn't give the character anything to do. He's strapped to his car for pretty much the entire movie.

The girl was a total waste. I thought she was hot, but her character was just plain nonsensical.

The car chases were on par with the one in QoS, which is to say WEAK.

However, if you like seeing Jason Statham shirtless and ripped, you're going to be pleased. That's really about all the good I can say about this movie.

While I share your appreciation for these movies and Ronin did set the bar, I can't get enough of these.

What confuses me is when you talk about plot and writing as the second transporter movie was just plain bad. I endure it all because I just want to see Jason whatshisface kick the shit out people with his dress shirt and tie.

Haven't seen the new Bond but I enjoyed the last one so maybe it's rentals on both of these. Dissapointing. I'm going to have to see "so and so make a porno" it's gotten good reviews and all of those people make me laugh.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ok Greg,yanno i love ya man but read the first Bond book, then see Casino Royale then watch QoS then come back with an opinion, you are way off my brother. Craig plays the Bond of the books.

RodeoSchro said:

Well, I guess I'm going to have to watch "Casino Royale", but really - the movie James Bond IS James Bond. Roger Moore and Sean Connery were IT. I read a couple of the books but when was the last time a James Bond book was made into a movie?

I knew Miguel would like that comment about a shirtless Jason Statham!

Yeah, the plot of the T2 was not so hot but it moved along and you knew where everyone stood at all times. You also had a really, really good actor as the bad guy.

In T3, the plot is weak. In fact, I am not sure exactly what the bad guy really wanted. It had something to do with either garbage or poisonous waste. And believe it or not, apparently the bad guy's partners all get away scot-free. But it's never clear whom they are working for.

QoS had the same weakness, IMHO. Although the bad guy was pretty good, where the hell was the world domination plot? The dude wanted to control the water table in Bolivia. THAT was his plan? He would have been laughed off Moonraker!

Also, the QoS Bond never said, "Bond. James Bond". How can you have a James Bond movie and not say the most recognizable (and hands-down coolest) action hero phrase of all time?

And why should we care about him being pissed off over losing a lover? He needed to deal with that shit in the movie where the lover got offed. Carrying over a whole second movie just so James Bond can work through some issues? Not MY James Bond!

I can see now that I am going to have to start writing screen plays. As soon as I save the economy, I will get right on it.
