The last part of the movie kept this from rising to the level of Crank 1


First off, I loved the first Crank and I really liked this movie, they were both very entertaining. However, the last part of this movie with the living head and the CGI burning-Chev was just way too over-the-top and was actually pretty lame. I think that those two things as well as the other cartoony parts of the movie really kept this movie in the almost-cartoon zone and kept it from being as good as the first one. Obviously neither of the movies are meant to be anything close to realistic, but that doesn't mean that it has to turn into a cartoon. What do you guys think? Am I right or am I wrong? I still liked the movie, but I hope that they don't completely lose their heads with Crank 3 and make it into a disaster, this movie came pretty close to that but luckily it was still entertaining enough for me to not consider it to be a bad movie.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I have to Completely agree. Fully.

The movie was going great until that stupid ridiculous ending. Everything was going great. OVer the top, but not enough so that it was too much.
Things were cheesy and unrealistic but there was enough reality in it to have you interested.

The ending with the floating head and the island felt like some cheesy James Bond movie ending. It was too stupid. Not shocking but stupid.
Also Chev burning and flipping the camera. It almost felt like the directors were flipping the bird to anyone for wasting their time with this movie or something. Kind of like insulting your own audience.

I wish the ending was different. Thing were already too ridiculous before. The movie needed a better ending
