Taxi 5

Why why whyyyy???? every person in this TAXI 5 is a crazy maniac Gilbert caractor like... Every time its just a little bit move in the STORY you get a "really bad" joke up in your face..... Only good thing is when the White Peugeot is Driving... GO FAR AWAY for this movie Watch one of the 4 "original" French TAXI movies instead YOU WILL be SAD SORRY and SICK if you insist to see TAXI 5...

Don't make the same mistake I did - seeing the cool poster and be excited, then reading about the new cast and the reviews thinking "okay this will not be good, but even Taxi 4 was somewhat watchable". Don't make that mistake. This movie did not take the wrong turn a few times. This movie was never even on the road. This movie was at the junkyard the whole time, smashed into scrap metal parts and oil spill. And nobody should watch that.

The very, very few good parts are all blatantly copied from the first films. Like, some of the music parts are okey. And Marsielle is always Marsielle. And if this would've been the first movie I saw where a white Peugeot transformed into a distinctive race car, maybe I would condsider giving it one and a half stars. Maybe. However, this is not the case. Taxi 1-3 had it all done before.

The best charachter in all the previous movies is without a doubt the taxi car. But even the beloved car feels boring here. No fun car chases, and extremly boring and unlogical crashes. It all feels slow and low-budget. Worst of all, the taxi get's a unforgivable shameful treatment in at least two scenes (one including a Ferrari driving past by(!), one - and the most irritating - including a boat).

You're happy that atleast Daniel and Émilien are nowhere to be seen, blacken the reputations of themselves. Or a talanted actress like Marion Cotillard in this - unthinkable. But yes, some of the original actors are in place. The problem is that where Alain and commissaire Gibert before were characters that was not the smartest and always went into trouble, you somehow could like them a little. Here they're morons, impossible to sympahtize with.

Remarkably enough, all the new characters are even more stupid. The police force in Marseille is actually so stupid, unsympathetic and awful it hurts. The same goes for the bad guys. Also, those actors are so wrong in their roles, while trying to look scary they're just looking like annoying fools. When my friend saw a scene where the major bad guy was threating another person she said he looked like a giant teddy bear, wanting a clap on his head.

Watching all these complete idiots doing what the director - and also lead actor - horribly enough must consider being humour is dreadful. That is the general problem. Everything is stupid. Nothing is charmful. Wrong casting, wrong plot, wrong "jokes", wrong everything. Just thinking about that this movie is associated with the franchise, forever dishonouring the name "Taxi", makes you physical ill. "Taxi 4" was indeed a tired botch but this - this is trash on a whole new level.

So again, fight your curiosity. Don't make the same mistake I did.

I saw the film today and I felt it was too disappointing. The plot is very bad, compared with the previous several too much difference.

This movie is a waste of time and money. Very poor and simplistic jokes, with feces being thrown away (is this funny??!!!!), midgets, and fat women. No ideas, poor car chases (especially compared with the fast and furious)... Bad actors, bad screenplay, bad filming, stereotypical parts, just a crap..

It was like stealing a candy to a child. I was really excited to watch this movie because I loved all the Taxi movies until now, and actually, the begining of taxi 5 is really great (have the fast&furious feeling) but them the interest and quality of the story decreases after every single minute... believe in me if you want to keep your good memories from that movies, please don't watch this movie, because it will be the most boring movie, with no funny fails that you will see!

The only reason that I did't gave one star, it's because I keep respect for the old taxi movies.
