Sigh 2

This will be quick. I just watched Transporter 2, and while it was better than the original, it was still pretty bad. The action sequences were just too contrived and fake. Don't get me wrong, I completely understand the need for suspension of disbelief for an action movie, and in the good ones it's a fairly easy thing to do. Unfortunately, this was not a good movie. There is a fight in a plane, and of course the pilot ends up getting shot. So the plane crashes. The hero of our movie saves himself by jumping towards the back of the plane on to the ground. Now, last time I checked, in order for a plane to fly, it has to be moving really fast. And even though the plane may have been going not quite fast enough to be flying, it would still be moving quite fast. I just don't think that jumping on to the floor would really do much. But, he's fine. Earlier, he jumped out of a building that was at least two stories high without knowing what was around, and lands on a taxi going driving speed (50k an hour most likely), and he lands hard enough to completely cave in the roof, but he is completely fine. Things like that just stretch believability just a bit too far. Really, the premise of the series sounds like it would be so good, and there are parts that seem so promising. But it's just not working.
Ah well, maybe a good movie will come along again someday. Spider-man is only 16 months away. YAY!!!!!
