You know, I was going to warn you off, le nubian, but I think watching the Transporter in reverse order might be best. I didn't make it through the second one, but if I hadn't been comparing it to the first (which I enjoyed SO MUCH) I might have liked it better.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
oh shoot! well, the action scenes are intoxicating and the little boy is adorable. I will have to see the first movie now.
I just watched Eagle Eye, so I'm not really expecting high drama.

What -t said. I haven't seen 3 yet, so I can't comment on that one.

Transporter is one of those where random rescued woman falls in immediate lust for her rescuer and sex ensues?

Well, yes. Along with a hideously trivialized human trafficking plot. But it's got some of the most amazing fight scenes EVER.
See, now I want to pop in the DVD.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I saw Cedar Rapids last night, and it was cute. Although I expected more -- this is why I kind of hate going to see movies based on good reviews, because my expectations get too high!

I haven't seen 3 yet, either, but I heard it was better than 2. I don't remember where I heard that, though, could be my fevered brain making up opinions out of whole cloth.

I own 3, bought it when my local video store closed. Just haven't watched it yet.

Okay, you all were absolutely right: 2 was not that good, but I am not disappointed I watched it because I got to see Stratham take out >10 attackers with a bigass lead pipe and that was more than I was expecting from the movie!
I am now watching Death Race. I have not seen so many marginal action movies in a row in like 10 years.

Wait till you see the bus/motor oil fight scene in 1. Truly a thing of beauty.
