Transporter 3 (spoilers)

Posted by grantv (M) on March 25, 2009 at 10:01:39

OK, how much did I expect you might say? Well, I expected better than it was. I rented this on the advice of a poster on video asylum. He said it would test the limits of your system and he also appeared to enjoy the movie.
Did it test my system? Yes. The explosions and sound effects were very much there, clear, deep and loud. IMO a bit too loud compared to the remainder of the movie. But it was a "good test".
As for the movie there were far too many errors and rediculous moments to let this movie be something IMO....
-He drives a car with bullet-proof glass, but kicks through the glass?
-When he kicks the guy out of the car, he somehow (through the BP glass) knocks the guy over the console and out a closed door without even remotely ruining the car? Not physically possible to knock the guy out this way.
-Where's all the broken glass?
-Takes on 8-10 guys (all with pipes) without a scratch? Even after being thrown thru a brick wall?
-Spinning the rear wheels.. in his 4WD drive Audi?
-Somehow managing to meet up with a train, the bridge just happens to have a weak spot enough to drive a car through it (and a short curb?) and he actually lands the car on the train, on the right car!?
-Then proceeds to drive from the disconnected train through into the front train?
-And how did he get the thing in gear without depressing the brake pedal?
-Why even transport the girl? Why not just kidnap her?
-I think worst to me however were the rediculous fast motion scenes (almost all action scenes). Every car chase was grossly obviously a sped up film track, same goes for the fight scenes. Not even remotely real looking.
-Plus the entire movie was predictable. It was VERY obvious WHAT he was transporting from second one.
All that said, did I enjoy the movie? A bit believe or not. It was fast paced and somewhat fun even considering all the faults (there's many more). If it were not for the fast forward scenes the movie would have fared far better for me. As it is, I'd give it a 3 out of 5. Without the ff scenes, it would have maybe hit a 3 1/2.
