Taxi 5

I was also happy to hear that the 5th part of one of my favorite movies is coming out. But as a saw the picture I was nearly crying of disappointment. What have you done with the wonderful story? Who the hell are all those strange people you are trying to sell as new acts? What happened with the pour ones who are still playing in the movie now? In previous movies Gibert has looked like a silly but very brave and passionate man - now he looks like an idiot. And the biggest question - how, for God's sake, could Luc Besson be a part of this odd piece of garbage? Who wrote all those endless stupid jokes for them? It's not funny at all, it's just weird and disgusting like laughing about handicaps. Where is the charme of Marseille, strong, brave men, beautiful french women, professionally filmed chases, story twists...? Nothing of these left, everything was substituted by cheap plastic imitation. The storyline is as straight and linear as a stick, all actions are either predestinated or boundlessly dumb... At the and I want to add - hey, Luc, I have an idea for you - what about to add a background laughing and give all the actors red clown noses and huge shoes? It would at least give a coup de grâce to a wonderful film franchise, you have unexpectedly misused and trampled into mud.

This is disrespectful to other movies!

What the hell is that ?

I couldn't watch the movie to the end.

What a lousy movie. Why did you do this?

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.

Its a disappointing installment of the series. The movie feels like a scientific cocktail; similar ingredients from the previous films are being used (comedy/car chases/character stereotypes) and mixed together but the final taste doesnt have the fine and exquisit natural taste as the real thing. The story is totally lacking, the supposedly fun scenes arent funny: the usual word twists are completely missing. Some scenes make no sense at all. The romance of the main actors Has no feeling to it, in fact its so plain that it completely cuts what little suspense there is. At some point they/police know where the bad guys live, but for unknown reason do not aprehend them. The scene with the cars piling on makes no sense; its like stupid lemmings driving into the mess. Also. Every other taxi film has its own theme, while for taxi 5 its practically the same theme as nr 1 except with a few roles reversed. The support roles in previous films where much more credible ie police officers looking as police officers but a little wacky, while here its as if they went to an asylum as none are credible as police officers.

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.
