By the way, is he still driving that same old car, or did they finally swap him into something newer?

Since every massive white Ford looks exactly like the last massive white Ford to me, I'm betting it's the same ride...

though he’s been cruising around lately in a much more aggressive setup—you know, that version from the second movie with the roof scoops.

The car definitely has some upgrades now... winter gear, for instance... as for the rest, I guess you'll have to spot the details yourself.

There is zero chance I’m ever watching parts two or three.
The most baffling thing about this whole disaster is how they market it, claiming the script was written by Steven Spielberg. It’s technically true, but it’s honestly unbelievable.
How does someone with an actual reputation in global cinema attach their name to a script for an Uber movie—which, let’s be honest, any average Joe in a small town in the Midwest could have scribbled down in an hour or two—without dying of pure embarrassment? Not too long ago, back when people actually cared about their dignity, a script like this would have just been credited to:
ALAN SMITHEE.

I don't really get why you're so bitter that this movie even exists in the first place? Personally, those Mexican soap operas they run on TV drive me absolutely insane... every time I accidentally flip to one, I feel a genuine fear that the television might spontaneously combust from the sheer agony of it all... but I don't start a war with people every time someone comments on some random episode of whatever garbage series is airing.

Why would anyone die of shame when these movies are being screened and making money? Clearly, they’re turning a profit, otherwise someone like Steven Spielberg wouldn't bother making two sequels out of pure perversion or just to give people something to fight about.

As for ALAN SMITHEE, that’s the name used when a director is stripped of their vision because the studio changed everything until it looks nothing like what they intended to film; it’s not what a writer uses when they realize their own script is garbage. When that happens, the film isn't even truly finished.

Besides, just as I’ll never understand why you felt the need to go to war over such a popular film, you’re never going to understand why other people think it’s actually good. So, in the future, if you hate a movie and a fan asks for opinions, it's enough to just say 'I didn't like it.'

Simple enough?

The Uber movies are exactly like that.
I thought the first two were total garbage, but I actually had a blast with the third one.
I mean... that opening scene in the second movie where he’s just losing his mind at the rally drivers because he can't overtake them, and then he turns around to apologize to the passengers in the Uber because some tourists are clogging up the road? That was pure genius.
God, we need more mindless entertainment like this.

I'm with you there. Though I also have to agree with rocker that while the third one beats the second, the original is still the king.

Anyone catch this yet? Thoughts? Opinions?

Personally, I was really into it... honestly, way better than the second one... probably sits right up there with the first installment, if I do say so myself. The action never lets up for a second, and they managed to pack in just enough humor to keep the whole crowd laughing without it feeling forced or trying too hard.

Anyway, if you haven't seen the third one yet, I highly recommend it... solid 7/10...

If you missed the first two, you should probably watch them in order... even if you dig the first one but couldn't stand the second, go ahead and check out the third anyway... the second one just missed the mark a bit.🙂)
