wuzzzer Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 On Blu-Ray from NetFlix. 4/5 stars. Lots of scenes that will make you jump out of your chair with explosions, cars crashing into buildings, etc. The biggest beef I had with the film is that the car chases were sped up to a ridiculously obvious rate making them look more like a cartoon than an actual film. I guess I'd prefer Jason Statham to still be driving a BMW 5 series like he did in the first Transporter also. But, the Audi W12 engine did make some nice music! The song that plays through the credits has some great bass that will really get your subwoofers bumpin. I liked the DTS-HD opening on the disc, too. I had my receiver turned way up and both my wife and I jumped from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I'm waiting for this to come out on a rental DVD here in Dubai. By the way, the car used in the first Transporter movie was a BMW 7 Series not a 5 Series. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Well I'll be. Looks like it was a Euro-only model 735. That's what threw me off. [A] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Seems like this movie has very strong bass, even down to 12Hz! Check out the graphs in the following thread. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1128641 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyv Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Best Transporter movie so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I didn't need to be Transported in the first film, basically this movie franchise is a one note instrument aka 'Smokie and the Bandit' without the southern wit and the 70s cheese.

tommyboy Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I haven't had the chance to watch it yet. [:'(] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddvj Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Pretty awesome. That DTS intro at the beginning made me jump also. I think they purposely made it extra loud. Anyway the movie was definitely the best of the Transporter series (I watched or re-watched all three this week). Anyway, the big question is: Who would win in a fight, Frank Martin (The Transporter) or Jason Bourne? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunburnwilly Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Anyway, the big question is: Who would win in a fight, Frank Martin (The Transporter) or Jason Bourne?Well , if we dissregard the laws of physics like Transporter2 , I haven't seen the new one , Frank wins . If it's a real fight I got my money on Jason . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddvj Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 You mean he disregards the laws of physics in the fight scenes? The whole thing is so over the top, I probably didn't even question it. Anyway, it's a good debate. Only problem is, Frank is usually fighting several people at once, whereas with Bourne, it's usually one-on-one. Maybe we need a seperate thread to get more people involved in the discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 love Stratham, love the non-stop action, didn't like the girl, don't think it will last, good plot, getting a patsy to deliver the stolen goods, Crank is great also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluless Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 IMO, the Kicker on this one is where he rides the bicycle through the warehouse only to land back on public roadways... Too Lame/Contrived...but still fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddvj Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 It's true what they say, you never forget. The fact that he was an expert bicyclist, though? It's funny, though, right before he grabbed the bike, I was thinking "it would be funny if he grabbed a bike." I read a Ka-Zar comic book where that happened once, it was funny then, too.
