transporter III

There are some hilarious logic gaps in this movie... For starters, Statham is riding a bike and kicks through the driver's side window, yet somehow the glass is perfectly intact right after. Then you've got a hundred people unloading guns at the car, but they can't even crack the windows—which suggests we're looking at bulletproof Plexiglas or something. But then, once the car hits the water, Statham just smashes the window with his elbow like it’s nothing. Honestly, this is more impressive than Chuck Norris. Apparently, a bullet can't do squat to the glass, but Jason Statham's elbow is basically a wrecking ball. 😁

Best action flick from the Transporter series yet!!
It’s a solid movie—a bit over the top, but alright. That scene with the tire air was actually pretty cool 😂

vepar said:Not great. Statham is predictably solid enough—but Natalya Rudakova is just terrible; she simply lacks any acting range (apparently, the story goes that Besson spotted her walking out of a hair salon, asked if she wanted a role in his new script, and then basically paid for a few months of acting lessons 🤣 )—and what makes it worse is that her character is incredibly grating (it’s equally unbelievable that Frank would fall for her). As for the action, unlike the first two films, the scenes are shot in such a way that you can't even blink if you want to catch anything—there are so many rapid cuts that I practically had to hunch over just to follow along (except for one involving a bike, which is easily the only decent action sequence in the whole movie). The plot isn't anything to write home about, either.

I completely agree, especially regarding that irritating actress.
I actually liked the bit with the bracelet (not going to spoil which one)

The worst Transporter out there—but if you enjoyed the first two, it’s still worth a watch

Where did everyone go? Has anyone actually sat down and watched this yet? I’m in the middle of downloading it right now, so I was hoping to get some thoughts. Based on the trailers, I have a feeling it might actually be decent. I mean, Jason Statham is always pretty solid.

I almost passed out. Then they woke me up right when Jason Statham pumps some air into the tires, lifts an Audi right off the lake floor, gets it road-ready in thirty minutes, and somehow breaks James Bond's underwater breath-holding record in the process. 😂😂Too good. Statham absolutely kills it. We need to keep filming Transporter III movies until the man dies, seriously. 👍👍👍

The movie's alright... nothing groundbreaking... but definitely worth a watch if you have some time.🤷

This movie is garbage. In my opinion, it’s the absolute worst of the series. I get that the first one and the second one played around with over-the-top action and absurdity, but this sequel just completely crossed the line into bad taste. It’s totally nonsensical—in an hour and a half of runtime, the only realistic moment I can find that doesn't insult my intelligence is when they're sitting on a boat loving fish. The car is basically indestructible; bullets, smashing through train cars, falling into a river—nothing touches it. And don't even get me started on the stupidity, like riding on two wheels (we're talking about a 2-ton Audi A8 here) between two semi-trucks, or the driver's window shattering only for it to work perfectly fine later—lol. A 2-ton car bouncing off two air bubbles in a river? Give me a break. If you want to watch a comedy, go watch this; or better yet, if you're looking for horror, go watch this, because how bad it is is actually terrifying. Oh, and the female lead is painfully irritating—she can barely speak and acts like a total moron...

I realize the first two installments relied heavily on over-the-top action and a certain level of absurdity, but with this sequel, they simply crossed the line of good taste. It’s completely unrealistic—and in a film that only runs about ninety minutes, the only realistic moment I could find that makes any sense to a rational mind is when they’re sitting in a boat and making out. The car is basically indestructible; bullets, driving through train cars, plunging into a river—nothing seems to affect it. Not to mention the sheer stupidity of balancing on two wheels—we're talking about a two-ton Audi A8 here—between two semi-trucks, or the driver's window shattering only for it to work perfectly fine later. Lol. A two-ton vehicle bouncing up from a river on two air bubbles? It's too much. If you want to watch a comedy, go watch this; or better yet, if you're looking for horror, give this a go, because how bad it is is actually terrifying. And yeah, the female lead is irritatingly awful—she can barely speak and comes across as incredibly dim-witted...

I'll put my signature on that...
The film was 👎 compared to the first two parts (at least for me)

Honestly, T-Bag was the only one who actually got anything out of this mess. The guy was easily the best part of the whole movie. I was just sitting there waiting for him to start sketching some random dude next to him and offering to hold his hand or something... As for the rest of the film... man, what a total disaster.

I honestly didn't even feel like bothering to comment at first. I really should have listened to vepar when I asked if this movie was actually going to be such a disaster...
Anyway, it ended up in my recycling bin after about 35 minutes. The whole thing is just pathetic.

The Transporter film 3 (2008) 2/5 - TRAILER
Worst one in the franchise so far. Look, I get it—this isn't some deep masterpiece, and you shouldn't expect much more than mindless fun. Honestly, the nonsensical plot holes don't even bother me that much; that's just part of the charm of The Transporter film series. But they completely botched it with this forced romance subplot. It’s totally unbelievable and just plain annoying. The female lead is also super irritating; she can't act, and she's not even that hot. Statham is fine as usual, but he feels lost here, like they didn't know what to do with him. The whole "can't leave the vehicle" gimmick is actually a cool concept and leads to some decent moments. The villain is weak—anyone else could've played him better—and T-Bage was a total waste of screen time. Surprisingly, the action scenes were okay, though nothing special... I expected the fights to be edited faster with quick cuts so you couldn't see anything, but they weren't actually terrible. The only exception was that fight with the huge guy, which was edited poorly. Overall, there's barely enough action for a movie in this series... way too much time spent on that relationship drama. Also, it's ridiculous how the bad guys always seem to pop up right next to him, even though he's driving all over America. Like, why the hell is he driving from city to city just to run into them every five minutes? LOL.

Bottom line... it's below average and disappointing, with maybe a few fun bits here and there...
