How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

So this movie starts off with a scene of Sylvester Stallone as James Bond Running away from some people who are wearing roller-skates and its not plot related so they just put it in there for some random reason. This movies contained some stupid scenes like kids holding what looked like Desert Eagle which if they fired would break their face (from the recoil). This movie wasn't all that bad contained some nice scenes and some fantasy for example : the way the car moved. The cops don't even chase the Taxi that's going 320km/h. The story itself in not all that bad which is the only reason you may want to considering to watch this movie. This movies should be Taxi 2 and no more sequels.

Luc Besson is a Big personality in the French Cinema business. Actually, He would love to be compared as the french "Spielberg". The guy who manages great success at the box office and quality. However, with Besson, this is not the case. Despite some massive french box office hits ("Le grand Bleu", "le 5eme element"), Besson, as a director, never managed to impress us. His movies are extremely commercials but, for most of them, very childish and immature. And this is typical for Taxi 3. Taxi, the first one, was quite funny and the stunts were terrific. This was a hit at the box office because it was "different" from the other kind of french cinema. But, OMG, this one is so bad! This is definitely the WORST ACTING performance ever in a french movie ! Look at Gibert, the "commissaire" - the "captain". Poor guy, he IS the worst actor i ever seen in a long time ! Sounds like the director had focused on the stunts and totally forgot to, actually, "direct" the actors ! While some scenes has some funny aspects, it is so silly that it is stupid. Believe it or not but the scenario and the dialog reminds me of the "great" Max Pecas, RIP, the worst french director ever as Tim Burton compares him with Ed Wood ! Yes This Max Pecas style ! But with more money. Besson may have made some few bucks with this one, but doing such a crap film, i don't think he will be ever remembered as the french "Spielberg" !

In fact, this amoeba of a movie really might be the very worst film I've ever seen or ever will see, and even that's being VERY generous. Now I enjoyed the first Taxi movie, which had a sense of speed and fun even if there weren't many stunts. I even enjoyed Taxi 2 in its no-brainer way despite the worse direction (different director, held over for this one for some inexplicable reason) because it had plenty of good stunts. But this film really is like the filmmakers knew they'd have a guaranteed audience no matter what so decided to spend 83 very long minutes throwing merde at the audience to see if they'd eat it. It's that bad. No: it's worse.It starts off with some badly shot stunts ripped off from Jackie Chan's Operation Condor that lead into our hero giving a James Bond figure a lift he'll never forget. Now obviously Pierce Brosnan's contract wouldn't let him do it, but they could have tried for Timothy Dalton or even Roger Moore. I'm sure if Roge was busy they could have got George Lazenby, who's done that sort of thing before enough times. But no, the joke falls flat because they get that epitome of suave sophisticated British espionage himself, Slyvester Stallone (dubbed badly into French) to do the part. Worse is that not only is this almost the best part of the film but it has the only stunts in the whole picture. It does lead into a very, very funny one-minute send-up of the new Bond title sequences that is genuinely terrific, but once that's over, turn off at once - you will not get the next 70 minutes of your life back and you will resent it.It's horribly wrong on every level. The two stars don't even meet for 45 minutes, and when they do the charm is replaced with whining, there are no chases or big stunts - this from a film who's only reason to exist is car stunts - and a boring plot about Chinese villains disguising themselves as rollerblading Santas to rob Marseilles' biggest bank. But in the end, they don't bother, they go to Switzerland instead. The taxi follows them, the robbers get very easily arrested and the cop goes to hospital where the girlfriend he didn't notice was pregnant for 8 months is having a baby. The end. Add terrible, horrible mistimed 'comic' relief from Bernard Farcy playing a pompous deluded chief inspector and Bai Ling horrendously made up as the most repugnant racist stereotype of Chinese whoredom (sorry, there's no other description) in a hideously misogynist part and you've got a film that manages to be dumb, boring, pointless and offensive without ever passing 'vaguely interesting' along the way. When the best joke is a dumb comic relief black cop being run over by a car he's trying to commandeer because he's black ("It's okay, I'm used to it"), you know you're in the *beep* Never have I seen a film so lazy and with so much contempt for its audience, and I've seen three Michael Bay movies. THAT bad and worse.

Yes, it is funny but I am getting a little tired of watching the same thing the third time around. I like the first one because it was fresh and different... But, Taxi 3 is just a copy of the previous 2 with a little new twist... I hope there will be no Taxi 4 coming out any time soon...
