Review of Taxi 2

Taxi 2 (2000)
5/10
I still want a 406
20 July 2001
I saw this one earlier than I expected. Fortunately I had the chance to buy the DVD in Paris. Even though it had no subtitles at all, I managed to understand almost every word, a thing which didn't happened in the first one (which I could see subtitled). I had an anxiety to see this one, since "Taxi 1" was really cool and funny. What can I say from this one? Well, I'll quote one of the people who made a comment: It's really more stupid and more idiotic, but it's more fun and really more exciting to watch. There was more money thrown in this one, and it shows. Even so, a thing keeps me from liking this movie more: there was a novelty and a freshness to the first that "Taxi 2" doesn't have. Even so, like the director Krawczyk said "it's like a new tintin episode: same characters, new plot". This really makes us think that there is no definite storyline between the two movies, which can really encourage the eventual production of "Taxi 3", which could be really exciting if the production team can notice the trouble with the first and the second, take some of the most basic humor, add maybe some cool charismatic characters (Jean Reno in the Taxi series would be simply magic, for example) and maybe using a 406 coupé this time ;). Altogether a cool movie, with quite incredible moments. A star of its own, detached from the first movie. 7 out of 10.
