Gist online is that its squandered potential. great concepts and ideas that were poorly fleshed out, etc.

Yes, because those three movies represent American cinema as a whole. I know you're trying to prove a point but goddamn, if you're going to insult American movies, at least use well-made movies that still sucked.

Transporter 3 was fucking horrible (havent seen 2). By the end, all I wanted was to see Jason punches someone with his exploding bracelet, killing everyone in the process.

That said, you should add Crank 1 and 2 to the list. It's some of my favorites action comedy movie. Sure, you need to shut your brain down before watching it (especially the 2nd), but it's not like the movie is pretending to be anything else.

Anyway, I'm bringing Crank here the same two guys made Gamers. I understand it's a different genre, but I can imagine it being interesting at least since they know what people want to see.

Very, very bad movie. Fortunately, the movie theatre started it 30 min earlier than they had advertised and gave us four free movie passes (with popcorn+pop combo!).

Hollywood's idea of throwing up Akihabara all over North American screens. Very ugly, very incoherent (of course missing the first 30 min didn't help really).

Just saw this today, it's not gonna be a cult classic or anything but it had some entertaining moments.

~ I hate Milo Ventimiglia but 'Rick Rape' was hilarious for the 3mins of screen time he had! xD

~ Michael C.Hall singing & dancing to "I've got you under my skin" was great! (Wasn't expecting those abs under the shirt!)

~ Lots of nice Gerard Butler ass shots too! =P

Other than that not much to see here really. =/

5/10 (I'd give it lower but I <3 Hall!)

Are people taking Transporter 2+3 as serious movies? they are as serious as crank....

**Einherjar** · 2009-09-16 17:50

Gamer looks like complete shit. Good to see that after 300 he decided on a healthy regime of shitty romance movies and god awful bottom of the barrel action movies.

What the hell are you smoking? He spent 3/4 of the movie talking to this ugly whore, and nothing ever happened. Some of the action scenes were fine, but there were far apart, and not that great.

Transporter 2 is just typical action movie. It's obviously not serious, but it's not funny either. Crank on the other hand was fucking hilarious, everything was over the top. Chelios getting a power up from an electrical pylon, and punching the main bad guy while being on fire can't possibly be topped by anything.

**Odesseiron** · 2009-09-16 23:05

Transporter 2 was one of the worst movies I've seen in recent memory. I know sequels are usually shittier than originals except for a few cases, but jeez. Haven't seen Gamer, might throw it on my Netflix queue when it comes out, if that.

Where did I say it was good? I know it wasnt some good movie but it isnt that godawful and Crank 2 is one of the best movies ever made

Finally got around to watching this and loved it lol, perhaps to my love for fps games myself. If anything, give it a chance due to Michael C Hall's role in it, thought he was pretty good, besides his lame hick accent that disappeared in his last scenes.

bad quality, but loved this scene

**Lexa** · 2009-11-26 16:05

I thought this movie sucked balls, lol, but I could have his dance routine on repeat forever.

PS. Abs. Hubba hubba.

**fishstix** · 2009-11-26 16:08

haha yea, it wasn't the best movie ever, but I think MCH won it over for me
