My take: Crank 2: High Voltage

**kamspy** · 09-15-2009, 04:17 AM

Very fun movie, but very very very dirty.

Better than Revolutionary Road imo.

I wasn't impressed. Just too damn silly. And that's saying a lot, taking the first one into account. I liked the first one. I even have the ringtone on my phone. Crank 2 made Shoot em up look like a documentary. I hope they don't make another Crank. He'll probably be chained to outside the Space Shuttle and be carried to the ISS...

this movie took forever to load on my player!!! (Pan bd-50)
by far the slowest loading and very slow to respond to remote too.
anyone see this?

I didn't have any problems on my BH200 whatsoever. Apparently 1.1 profile players and PS3s were immune to the problems on the Crank 2 disc that many have reported.

i have a brand new Sony 350, and rented Crank from BB, it would go through the load process and stop about 3/4 of the way with a red box. The sound would load and half of the movie would start to play in the loading box, updated firmware, samething. Never had any movie that would not load up before, tried 3 different movies from BB and 2 different stores. Any thoughts, other then don't rent from BB

Yes. make sure you have at least 1GB of external memory in the player as this seems to be the 3nd BD-Live title that I know of that needs the minimum 1GB of memory to play in the BD-Live players. The other i know of is Starship Troopers. It could happen more in the future too, so get the memory.

Or use a 1.1 player or a PS3.

Just saw this movie and thought it was terrible. This presentation was just all over the place. Too whacked out for me. The PQ wasn't as good as Crank. I was glad it was over.

I still think Statham's best movie is the original Transporter.

Personally I love this movie, I watched it with my housemates once night and we thought it was hilarious. Really amusing lines in it all the way through and some really REALLY odd characters.

Even the SD version has problems loading and such. It's the new copyright/content protection scheme Lionsgate is using. They have had problems in the past, just like this.
