Sure, it's dumb fun and thinking too much about the story might hurt your brain, but by comparison, "Underclassman," while not terrible, tries too hard to be funny and falters in its attempt to offer something for everyone.

This was a blast, pure and simple. It had me laughing at the ridiculousness of the situations, it had me in awe of the perfectly executed action sequences, and took me out of the real world drudgery and threw me headlong into a world of hyper-real actionand suspense. Not the best of the genre, but it is sure to hold your attention in it's wall to wall explosiveness.

It loses some of the lean, mean minimalism of The Transporter and crosses right over into Bond far-fetchedness in its plot and stunts. But it's still a noisy, goofy, cartoonishly violent ride.

--Lynn Barker

Without spoiling the end, it should be noted that the final line of the movie suggests that The Transporter 3 could be on the way. It seems like it’s never too early to get started on marketing a sequel. Before you know it, those 13-year old boys will turn 14.

Throw in at least 3 kick ass car and boat chases - 4 or 5 excellent fights and plenty of gun AND sword play and you get Transporter 2. Statham's character is cool and the cars in this movie are un-friggin believable so go check it out.

Fast paced, non-stop action! More exciting than the original! You won't be disappointed! 

--Steven Chupnick (MovieWeb)

The greatest thing about the movie is Statham, a charismatic silent, deadly type who deserves to take the wheel behind a better franchise. C+

But Besson ("The Professional," "The Fifth Element") and his underlings should never have messed with their successful formula in the first place. If you want to make a good check-your-brain action movie, there's only one hard and fast rule: Keep it simple, stupid. 

--Rob Blackwelder

I don’t normally enjoy dumb action movies. I prefer plot over action, substance over style. However, that said, this is not a dumb action movie. This is an hour and a half of condensed action and I enjoyed every frame.

--Colin Le Sueur

Just don't go into this movie with expectations of seeing a film of political scandal, a deeply emotional family unit, and philosophical assumptions on the motivations of terrorists. Because that all takes a backseat to Jason Statham kicking the asses ofeight inept henchmen all at once. That's what this film truly chronicles. Eddie Murphy said it best in Bowfinger, "We making a movie here, not a film!" 7/10

--'Cinema Guru Boy' (JackassCritics.com)

So when the characters of Frank and Lola battle in The Transporter 2 it’s almost symbolic of the evolution of Besson’s work and characters, as his idealized male finally faces off against his idealized female in battle.

---

... basic action-movie entertainment. Besson, Statham, Yeun and company can probably make a new one every two or three years for quite some time, and they'll keep being a bunch of fun. 

--Jay Seaver (eFilmCritic.com)

But this is a film about a man and his car. And though the action sequences do impress, as does Alessandro Gassman as the baddie, I’m still wondering how Modine’s cantankerous wet rag became a vaunted agency head.

---

This film…well, it’s got the thrills, but the brains…just like most toys and their batteries: not included (what was with that Jamaican cab driver coming out of nowhere?!). 6/10

With “The Transporter 2,” producer Luc Besson means to beat critics at their own game. How can you criticize the silliness of a movie that embraces its own implausibility?  --Joe Lozito Transporter 2 holds its ground, but it can't be forgiven for the silly effects. It's a fun way to wind up the summer season, but it has its faults here and there. Statham is on his way to stardom, if he already hasn't made it yet. There's enough energy and charisma buried within the character to hold the audience's attention.  --Phil Calabro (The Movie Insider) Still, The Transporter movie series could benefit from Stratham's excitable presence 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. --Frank Ochieng My one warning to people who go see this movie - don't "check your brain at the door" as I have heard so many people say to do about Transporter 2. Take your brain right out of your head and leave it at home before you go see this movie. Then maybe, justmaybe will you be able to appreciate it. 4/10 --Brendan Cullin (EmpireMovies.com) We also get car chases galore, a touch of romantic gallantry, and a first act full of witty dialogue before the needs of plot and genre send us into a pure action frenzy from which the movie never again falters. --Ron Yamauchi Of course, that plot merely is meant to connects the outrageous stunts: a car chase that goes from the beach to a multilevel parking garage and beyond; a bus-speedboat race that wildly veers to the streets; and a fight aboard a small jet that winds up oceanbound.
