No, you're not the ONLY one!

I didn't like the first one at all, and when I saw the preview in front of SW:EpIII, I wondered why they'd make a sequel. So, on a whim, plus a day that I got off early from work (!), I went.

Results: I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Weak story. Even weaker than the first.
Outlaw driver reduced to a glorified chauffeur for an overprivileged, rich brat.
Concept is a rip-off of the "Riding Bean" anime: which did it better.
Outlandish, over-the-top action scenes. Ventures into "Superhero" territory.
Immersive soundtrack.
Conclusion: All style and no substance.

At best, a rental. Unless a person is a completist type of collector.

Well, the obvious rip off of Man on Fire shocked me a little.
Right down to the, I promise no one will hurt you bit.

How the script got past the, "he is chauffering around a rich kid" stage is beyond me. ')

Regarding the "Superhero" comment, I thought that there were bits that started to tread towards the most recent Bond outings. Or should I say, the Bond producers were starting to head down this path.

I liked Transporter 2 for what it was. Non-sensical mindless fun. And I enjoyed Jason's performance.

Entertaining, better fantasy action than the first, but the first was overall better.
