Transpoter 3

Transporter 3

Transporter 3 is a high energy full go, go, go film with car chases and epic fights. Transporter 3 was released on the 5 December 2008. The film was a great film and the best of the Trilogy. The director Oliver Megaton had done many other films but this was the first one for him to hit the big time. It was co written by Luc Besson who had wrote the last 2. Robert Mark Kamen was the other writer and he had also written the last Transporter but not the first one. This film was made in France and also in the United Kingdom. This film made $102,000,000 which is nearly $20million more than number 2.

Again im shocked by the rating. This film only scores a 5.9/10 when I would say it is one of my favourite films and I would rate it around 8-9/10. The reviews I have seen tell a different story though. 8/10 with a catch line that says, "Transporter 3" is a great example of good, "dumb-fun"... Not to be taken seriously, this sequel will leave you breathless with awesome action... A worthy follow-up. By this I think he is saying that yes there are mistakes but who cares it is funny and very clever and I love it. He goes on to say that the film is riding on the thin line of funny and the hilariously over the top at times as Jason Statham is back as Frank and if you like the last 2 you will love this one because of its ride of mayhem. Best of the all three of them is the catch line that rates this movie at a brilliant 10/10. The main reason he find this film so good is because he find the whole fact of the plot being so bullet proof and also the cheeky and comical relationship he has with the cop. A great film with a perfect mix of fast action and slow part. The least review I had sore was one that rated this film 1/10. I was very confused why any one would find it that boring and poor but here are the reasons. The main reason is that she has got is that the girl actress is useless and could not tie her shoe lasses together if she tried and also that the plot is the same old same old. Again I think people are missing the point of the film. It is going to be the same plot basically because all film series follow a similar trend like Saw and that is why lost people say that the first one or two is the best and very few say they have done the best job on the last film unless they blow you away.





Technological Advancements

I think the main advancement for this is actually was only seen when it came out on DVD. This was the first one of the trilogy that also came out on Blue Ray as well as DVD. This technological break though would have improved the in home cinema experience. Blue ray is limited to blue ray players and also the PS3 but it has done wonders, The graphics are improved and also the sound is also improved, Blu Ray which is very similar to HD but it meant to be better.

Mise on sense

This is a great film for representation, the main character that is called Frank Martin and he is played by Jason Statham, this character is normally in businesses type outfit. This outfit makes you think that he takes his job very serious which he does. Also he never wears his shirt tucked in and this could symbolise that he is never.

Plot

A brief synopsis of the plot

Young girl named Jessica previously lived in the city, and her and her parents moved to the country a year ago.



They bought a house in countryside at a low price. In the year they have been there, there has been many weird occurrence, such as; things going missing etc.

The reason these are happening is that the land has been sacred for many years and was used for rituals. The house was then built and has been haunted ever since.

Jessica then finally gets chased by the cult and find the object that they worship, and then the cult die or move on.
