Crank: High Voltage Audience Reviews

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Eric Stevenson I remember watching the original "Crank" and remembering how ridiculous it was. It's great that we have such an outrageous sequel. It's weird, because I'm one of those people who complains about stupid action movies. This actually worked for me mostly because it didn't take itself seriously at all. It's a film that openly relishes in how insane it is. Even the outtakes are nice and it shows that the people working on it had a good time!It's said there were 164 f-words in this movie. The last half hour have relatively few as there's little talking, but I only counted 160! I admit they do repeat stuff from the first film like the sex scene. Why is it that every movie not screened for critics has never had a higher rating on this website than 6.2? Is that some magic number? Anyway, this is extremely offensive, but also quite entertaining. ***
chimera3 The adrenaline rush never stops. The razor-sharp humor and nonstop action are back...and then some. As usual, Chev has to race against time or risk dying, but it isn't because of the poison we saw last time; it's because the villains took his heart and replaced it with an artificial one that has a less-than-reliable battery pack. The trademark "Mission Impossible" type formula is back with a vengeance: fight some villains, consult the doctor, spend time with girlfriend...in no particular order.Once again, there is the usual motley crew of characters who are alongside Chev: gangsters, exotic dancers, adult film stars, the works.The action scenes are definitely ones for the books. Take what you saw in the first "Crank" and then amp it up by, say, twenty. The subtitle is absolutely perfect because that's the pace for which the movie goes: high voltage. Let's face it: the man has nine lives and can't be put down so easily...but don't tell the villains that.Like the one before it, this is another feel-good movie that will boost your spirits if you had a bad day and you feel like hitting something.
patomartinezfgo I had so much fun with this movie. This movie is the perfect popcorn flick. Its so much fun to watch with friends while getting drunk.Obviously this movie is terrible, but it knows that, and it embraces it. It throws everything to the wall and makes you laugh so hard. The performances and story are super over the top and it goes hand in hand with the cinematography and editing.I must say that the editing is so over the top that it makes you feel the same way as the character, so f*cking excited.It is definitely not everybody's cup of tea. Your enjoyment of the film will depend on how far the stick is up you a*s. If you don't mind stupid action movies then you are probably going to enjoy it. But if you only enjoy movies with great characters and well written scripts... you are not enjoying this.Don't get me wrong, I have the stick pretty deep up my a*s, but I know that the fact that this movie is sh*tty is what makes it so good.
niklhoer So Crank 2 basically ties directly on the first move, with no time in between. And by the way the first movie was great. And this movie is too. But the reason I gave it only 8 out of ten stars is simple: it is the same thing again, but with a much worse story.I really liked the first part because of the amount of action and adrenalin, and this really continues in the second part. Which is great and exactly what you would expect out of a second part. But the story does not kick in as much. It does not keep you hooked all the time, the situation is not as desperate as the one in the first movie and I really had moments where I was bored, which should not happen if you set the expectation that high with the first part.But still I personally would recommend you watching it, because it is still an entertaining movie after all.
