[SIZE="3"]I liked the first one, but this sequel sort of left me . . . not cold, but cool. It's got a Man on Fire scenario but Jason Statham can't do the murderous cold soul Denzel projected. And the fight scenes . . . no one likes cool chop-socky better than yrs trly, but when it gets cartoony I drop out of the story. Cool firehose sequence though. It's worth seeing, but keep the remote handy. I don't think there'll be a #3.

You know, I was kinda disappointed in the first Transporter, so I didn't bother to see this. I absolutely love Statham in SNATCH (don't remember much about Lock, Stock, etc), so I had high hopes for him. I hope he gets some good roles in the future.
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

The firehose was pretty damn cool, but they lost me at the -removal of the bomb from the bottom of the car- scene. I thought they were going for a serious action flick, then someone on here told me the cheese was intentional. That changed my initial bad view of this film, but it's still not one I'd buy. I think Statham could be a really good action star with the right director, though.

Remember the thread about Jessica Alba's butt in whatever movie that was? Well, this movie is the female version of that. Jason Statham. FF=0. :p
How many vikings does it take to change a light bulb?
None. The light from the burning monastery is more than sufficient.

Well......I don't expect that, but I'll go to see this movie at June 3. I liked first one. So I have to try part 2. Till then, I'll leave from this thread because I don't wanna get any spoilers.
As I said, today I went to a theater see "Transporter 2", and I enjoyed it. Some scenes were funny and I wanted to shout "That's impossible!" The scene of the car jump to another building was okay. It was pretty good action scene like other action movies. But the scene of removal of bomb from the bottom of the car was unbelievable.....that made me laugh.
Once, Gene Hackman chased train by car in "French Connection". But Jason Statham chased chopper by car! What a crazy guy!
