DVD Talk review of 'Transporter 3' (Blu-ray)
I read Michael Zupan's DVD review of Transporter 3 at http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=36473 and...
I agree with everything Michael said. Except maybe for the overall rating. I'd give it 3.5/5 (or 7/10). One was good, not great. The second one was absolute shit. Michael, it took every bit of your fiber not to walk out? You're stronger than I am. It took every bit of fiber not to burn the theater down. The third, as you said, brought the franchise back with flying colors. Still not high art. But it never claimed to be. But it was entertaining as hell. And a day one purchase from me on BD. Great review Michael.

I agree that the rating seemed low for seemingly enjoying the movie. A 2.5 star rating to me usually denotes disliking a movie.

I enjoyed it as a popcorn action flick, but couldn't in my heart give this movie a higher rating for bad acting, bad script, some pacing issues, etc. It won't be a movie for everyone, and it didn't have any fresh ideas, and didn't leave an impression on me after the fact. At this point, this movie I could take or leave, I feel fairly indifferent to it. Hence the middle of the road rating. This movie had so much right in the action department, so much wrong in so many other ways. For example, Johnson is supposedly a person who hates violence, yet he can somehow hold his own against Frank? A lot of stuff like this in the movie just didn't make sense.
