Crank 2-best movie ever?

And isn't it poor that so many people are not able to understand this kind of movie?

You assume that people who don't like this movie, didn't understand it? I didn't like it, but I am not going to insult people that did, I can see why they would. I loved the first one, but I felt the second one was too over the top and very predictable, atleast to me. The first one felt more plausible, and as I was watching it, it was an adrenaline (heh) ride the entire time. The best part about it was that the film itself mirrored his own adrenaline levels, as he was jacked up, the action was jacked up, and as he slowed down, the pace of the movie did as well. It was like the audience was experiencing the exact same ride he was, except we got our boost from the movie itself. The main problem I had with this movie is the limited amount of ways there are available to access electricity to power his heart, in Crank there are an infinite amount of ways to increase your heart rate and stimulate the adrenal glands, I think it would have been better if he had to do the same thing, but with a slightly different execution.

They really had no choice, because his revival was so unbelievable, they had to make the rest of the movie follow suit, it felt like an entirely different movie, and in my opinion, not as good as the first. For instance, skin to skin contact would not generate enough electricity to power something like an artificial heart, I know that the movie isn't supposed to be believable but I feel it is best when something happens, and you think "I could definitely see that happening in real life." Crank was full of moments like this, and for me Crank 2 lacked that realism, or disguised realism that made the first one great. I enjoyed some parts of the movie, like the Japanese monster movie spoof, but overall I think it wasn't as good as the first.
