I loved Crank, but Crank 2 just went too far into jokey territory. Looked and sounded great on Blu-ray though!Equipment list:
Onkyo TX-NR3010 9.2 AVR
Emotiva XPA-3 amp
Polk RTi70 mains, CSi40 center, RTi38 surrounds, RTi28 rears and heights
SVS 20-39CS+ subwoofer powered by Crown XLS1500

Yeah, I get that, Keiko... but the first one, while obviously not realistic, didn't come off as a parody the way Crank 2 does. This one goes over the top just for the sake of going over the top, and while I didn't feel like I wasted my time watching it, it just wasn't as good as I had hoped it would be nor was it nearly as good as the original. It's like they went out of their way to make it campy.
But still, the BD had some killer 7.1!Equipment list:
Onkyo TX-NR3010 9.2 AVR
Emotiva XPA-3 amp

I heard that Maynard from Tool has a cameo in this one. It would be cool to see on screen again. I met him in person 6 months ago and he was pretty cool.

Watched it last night. It's a fun movie to watch and recoded sounds are really good. A good laughter in the senseless way.Trying out Different Audio Cables is a Religious Affair. You don't discuss it with anyone. :redface::biggrin:

First one was just mindless also, something to watch while the wife is gone cause I know she wont watch this movie
-
I liked the first one and by the previews I saw , I'm gonna like the 2nd one. It's one of those just kick back and watch the extreme action take place. I have no expectations for such a movie, just raw fun.Dan
My personal quest is to save to world of bad audio, one thread at a time. -
Outrageous.
Unbelievable.
Over the Top.
Funny as F'in hell!
I laughed out loud - and I don't do that very often in a flick.Do you hear that buzzing noise? -
Got the Blu Ray today from Blockbuster; it didn't load on my Oppo; tried several times, could see all the previews, but never got to the top menu. And I was so happy I was going to watch the first real 7.1 movie.:mad::mad:_________________________________________________

If you haven't flashed the latest firmware, then do it. There's always a chance it will fix the problem and it only takes about 10 minutes to download and install.

I installed the latest Beta (September 9); I can get to the top menu now. Will watch it tonight!!!

I'm running the latest beta firmware and Crank 2 loaded fine for me. Took a bit longer than other discs though. I have not experienced any issues whatsoever with the 09/09 beta firmware, and I've been watching the hell out of discs since I installed it.Equipment list:
