Taxi 3 [DVD]

Having seen (and loved) the first two Taxi films, I bought this one more in hope than expectation.Having now watched it, I have to say that whilst the underlying story has moved on a bit (two of the main characters, Emilien and Petra, are now married) the plot content has got a bit bogged down. There is an early nod to the James Bond franchise, but there is little else that is new. It is still a "bungling police v. gang of robbers" theme, and it is possible to detect just a bit of laziness this time round. The hilariously incompetent chief of Police now seems to have been reduced to little more than a bit-part.I found the Chinese villain characters insubstantial and superficial - there could have been a lot more made of them, in the way that Taxi 2 made some effort to explore and make fun of Japanese Yakuza. The stunts in Taxi 3 seemed a bit tired too.On the whole, they could have made this one even better, but they missed the target in favour of repeat themes.I see that they have made Taxi 4, but I think I'll be giving that one a miss.

Great to add to collection

Good, light hearted, not as good as 1&2 but watchable.

So funny, one of the best French movies ever

good

Fun and fast paced. Better than taxi 2 with tongue firmly in cheek.

When you get to 3, expectations are not high. I was hugely surprised: loved it and even maybe the best - still to watch 4. But 3 is so good, I will wait and watch it again, which is not my style. Great fun, bit silly at times but highly recommend.

its ok but not as good as 1 and 2
