Movie Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes®
"Transporter 2" is cheap, shiny, indefensible junk, a Hot Wheels hot rod encased in a glossy plastic blister pack. But come on -- you know you want it.
Full Review|Oct 7, 2006
Besson doesn't fiddle with the first movie's formula -- impossible car chases punctuated by impossible martial arts sequences.
Full Review|Sep 6, 2005Although not without its entertaining moments, the result is so over the top that we'll never again be able to look at Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning's identical setup in Man on Fire without chortling.
Full Review|Sep 2, 2005With cartoon villains and cartoon victims all the lane-changing, gear-shifting, and wrong-way-on-the-freeway driving seems like a meaningless waste of time.
Sep 2, 2005Transporter 2 is faster than a speeding jet ski, more powerful than a hidden motive and cheesier than a Camembert factory.
Sep 2, 2005The Transporter 2 is good trash, the sort of loud bang-bang flick that's so over-the-top you buy it with a laugh.
Sep 2, 2005Transporter 2 is high-octane fluff, a feature-length car commercial on steroids that never tries, or pretends to be, anything more. At that level it works.
Full Review|Sep 2, 2005Transporter 2 moves fast but goes nowhere -- it might be the first film to use a jet ski to jump the shark.
Full Review|Sep 1, 2005Is a lot of fun, and I enjoyed it in all its ludicrous devices, and idiocy...
Full Review|Apr 25, 2010Besides a fun script and never-a-dull-moment directing, Jason Statham really deserves praise for his screen presence. Expect mindless action and have a great time.
Full Review|Sep 11, 2006If you're at all picky about the laws of physics or if you liked the superior first film, I do not recommend seeing this film sober.
Full Review|Oct 2, 2005All action, all the time, with no pauses to catch your breath, or, more significantly, to figure out what's going on.
Full Review|Sep 24, 2005Transporter 2 softens the formula a bit, but still delivers the kind of vivid, pounding action that B-movie fans crave.
Full Review|Sep 13, 2005The only one who plays it straight is Statham, and his cool machismo borders on camp.
Full Review|Sep 10, 2005The original Transporter was a surprise hit in 2002, and this second installment will not disappoint.
Full Review|Sep 9, 2005A vehicle for Statham to drive fast cars and beat the hell out of people, TRANSPORTER 2 provides a much-needed fix for action fans stuck in the late summer doldrums.
Full Review|Sep 9, 2005There is absolutely nothing subtle about "Transporter 2." But if you like your action movies to be ACTION movies, this one is fast-paced, unapologetic escapism.
Full Review|Jan 7, 2006Dismiss notions of plausibility or character development, as these criteria don't apply to the worth of a car-chase, martial-arts-driven extravaganza that follows the successful recipe established in The Transporter (2002).
Full Review|Sep 2, 2005In terms of raw, heart-thumping action, The Transporter 2 out-Bonds Bond.
Sep 2, 2005Tell your mind to stay at home and watch the Cartoon Network if it wants more intelligent plotting than this.
Full Review|Sep 1, 2005While we wait for a new Bond, Jason Statham's taciturn Frank Martin is filling in nicely.
Aug 31, 2005Undemanding punters are guaranteed 90 minutes of dopey, derivative and gloriously disposable entertainment.
Full Review|Dec 6, 2005Much like a James Bond movie, only more playful and entertaining than that series has managed in many years, Transporter 2 isn't a continuation of the last one, it's another action enterprise unto itself.
Full Review|Sep 26, 2005It's not a bad sequel, but the original was, well, original. There are some overplayed elements, but the action is snappy and the danger is credible.
Full Review|Sep 23, 2005the hand-to-hand combat scenes are the best of the year
Sep 16, 2005Transporter 2 bursts with outrageous driving stunts, sublimely absurd fight scenes, and a sense of humor that ties it together.
Full Review|Sep 13, 2005They've gone back to the well only to discover that most of the good stuff was used up the first time around.
Full Review|Sep 10, 2005there's no denying that Statham is once again so cool that bad plot, bad physics and bad acting by the supporting cast are very easily forgotten.
Sep 9, 2005If you actually go into this picture attempting to find any common sense in its plotline, you might want to have your head examined afterwards...
Full Review|Sep 9, 2005...the plot has some crucially unclear exposition, and the stunt concepts are insanely implausible...but, somehow, that doesn't stop the whole from being absurdly pleasurable
Sep 8, 2005Statham isn't the best thing in Transporter 2; he's essentially the only thing.
Full Review|Sep 2, 2005If you can get past the impossibilities -- and we know it's a lot to ask -- Transporter 2 is a fun time at the movies.
Full Review|Sep 2, 2005The film is too empty-headed to convey any real sense of peril, yet isn't absurd enough to be appreciated as black comedy. It leaves you feeling distracted, not transported.
Full Review|Sep 2, 2005An otherwise cruddy-looking assemblage of action-sequel cliches that benefits from Frank's dry-cleaned monosyllabic intensity but suffers from just about everything else.
Full Review|Sep 2, 2005Because in the movie industry you can always have way too much of a good thing, here comes Transporter 2, a sequel that makes it clear that the outrageous antics of the first movie had a one-time-only charm.
Full Review|Sep 2, 2005Though both Transporter films are driven by the same empty-headed video-game slickness, Transporter 2 surpasses its less focused predecessor on almost every level.
Full Review|Sep 1, 2005The sequel is a better film than the original, as if writer-producer Luc Besson had a clearer idea of what he wanted to do (and didn't want to do).
Full Review|Sep 1, 2005The greatest thing about the movie is Statham, a charismatic silent, deadly type who deserves to take the wheel behind a better franchise.
Full Review|Aug 31, 2005Transporter 2 is so lightweight and frivolous, it makes one of Roger Moore's Bond epics look like Crime and Punishment.
Full Review|Jan 14, 2006The ending sinks the enterprise (both literally and figuratively) with bad FX and subpar action-movie one-liners.
Full Review|Sep 26, 2005The car chases are fierce, the fight sequences are appropriately staged and shot, and Statham's allure as the title character is undeniable.
Full Review|Sep 21, 2005Fast-paced sequel featuring British B-movie action guy Jason Statham delivers what it promises, and not too much more.
Full Review|Sep 15, 2005Is there a point at which an action film becomes so completely unrealistic, it crosses into the realm of fantasy and becomes something else?
Full Review|Sep 10, 2005I don't mind exaggerated action sequences (in fact, I kind of like them) but Transporter 2 doesn't surround them with anything else.
Full Review|Sep 9, 2005..if it had the gumption to elevate its marketable value and challenge the notion of not being just another brainless and bombastic entry into the "crash and bash" sweepstakes
Full Review|Sep 9, 2005How well does the film succeed in what it seeks to accomplish? Well enough that I probably won't mind a 'Transporter 3.'
Sep 8, 2005Statham still oozes virile charm but his unbelievable feats make him a super hero fantasy character which is not what audiences expect or want
