Title: Crank: High Voltage
Post by: LK on April 27, 2009, 04:21:21 PM
Holy shit, this movie was a trip. I saw it drunk and it made the experience 10x better.

I loved every single part of this movie except the last 30 seconds. But it did terribly at the box office, but that probably means nothing since the first one did poorly as well and likely got its money off DVD sales. The review scores it got at Rotten Tomatoes were really positive, though.

Also, Bai Ling does an amazing job acting as if she was in her early 20's, even though she looks completely cracked out.

I really enjoyed the first one, I'm sure I'll see this one as well.

Wish I had seen it drunk, it would have been even more awesome than it already was.

After watching the first one, how could you tell the difference? Watching it's like a meth trip, and the second one looks to take everything that made the first one so fucked up and turned it up to 11.

Higher than 11. The fight at the electrical transformer.. words cannot describe.

I loved the first one, but when I first heard about the sequel it sounded like a pretty unnecessary sequel to me.  I was wrong.  I've watched it twice now (one time was the test run at my theater, and then I brought my dad to see it yesterday since he loves the first one also) and it is fucking hilarious.  I was surprised when I saw it yesterday that people left the auditorium during the credits (the actual ending of the movie takes place within the first minute or two of the credits, and the outtakes shown after that are well worth sticking around for as well).

I'm really curious now to see what direction the writers went with for the screenplay for the Jonah Hex movie that comes out next year.

I hate to do it, but this.  Very very much this.  That part of the movie had me in tears, and it only got better.

Pffft. I want to see Citizen Game. Who knows, it may be the first decent videogame movie since The Wizard.

Wow, that's some cast. Sounds interesting.
