Time to stop and park the car....

Warning: Spoilers
I'm a big fan of Taxi and the sequels, however I have to say that too much is too much. Besson movies are going from bad to worst. Yes Commissaire Gibert is still as funny, yes Emilien is as clumsy and yes Petra is still one of the Hotest woman on earth (especially with her German accent in French), but no they can't save the movie. Daniel and the drive stunt are almost inexistent in the movie and aside from seeing the pair seating in the taxi spying outside the Bank and then outside the Villa there is nothing to be amazed with. Is it because of the real life judicial troubles of Daniel actor's Sami Naceri that prevented a more important presence in the movie? Possibly, but then why did Besson had to release the movie that early? Greed may be? The humour is there, some action too, but the spirit is gone. It's a barely OK movie, already many fans found it disappointing, it was may be the movie too much. Do not spend money to watch it, this is my only advice to not feel robbed. And for Luc Besson it's about time that he drops is big head of having been one of the few French movie directors to have made it to Hollywood and that he goes back to the movie style we loved from him (Big Blue, Leon/The professional, the 5th Element, Taxi 1&2, Angel-A...)
