Great Movie, Lots of Action

by pukiman

This is one of Liam's best films. He does exceptionally well in this and for a rare occasion you see a little bit of humor from him at the end. Most of his roles are strictly gang bang and see yaaaaa. Well acted, fast paced, would see again....

Liam Neeson is the suburban 007!!

by ValiMovieMom

This movie was awesome. Liam Neeson is fantastic as the middle-aged/dad/superhero. He comes across as believable and genuine. Lots of action. The daughter is a bit annoying and overly dramatic but besides that a really good movie. Can't wait for Part 3!!!

Taken2 - As far as sequels go - definitely not bad

by pochu

Loved the movie. Was initially not sure I would watch it because some of the reviews have not been overly positive. Guys - it is an action flick, it is not meant to be completely believable (or even remotely plausible) and if the plot is similar to the first movie no probs (it works).
I watched it because we have a serous not to be messed with father, loves his family, stops at nothing to take care of his family. and has amazing skills (fighting, mental, etc).
Definitely a film to be watched.

it's just too, too, too much...

by

I thought that Liam would be in something more subtle and sophisticated, that is why I went to see this one....turns out that it's chock full of violence upon violence upon violence...and not even the particularly viewable/believable type, e.g., the human fights two men going after each other or a series of men going after one man....the action was so confused that it was impossible to see particular blows, blocked hits, etc....
overall: really disappointed....I walked out of the theatre feeling beat up

Realistic Expectations

by

I have heard criticism about this movie from friends saying things like plot and character decisions just dont make sense and writing is poorly done, and all i have to say is that if you go to a Taken sequel, why the hell are you going to it expecting good plot and character writing?? Go and see this movie to see Liam Neeson get head shots and break necks, just like we did when we saw the first Taken. There are no plot twists, revelations, or deep meanings to this movie/plot, just pure, unadulterated *** kicking by obi wan kenobi himself.

Taken 2 (73/100)

by phillyeaglesfan769

Not even close to as good as the first. This movie's purpose was for nothing more than to get money because the first one was so good. Don't even bother going to see it, wait until DVD.

Hand Grenades!

by Suzy Q Stern

More of the same fast-paced good guy Liam vs. a couple dozen really bad guys and lots of boom boom. I realize why some folks don't like all the guns and violence, but this is the only place I like to watch it - on the screen and not as part of the nightly news.

Taken 2

by KeeleyPatrick

Good movie, does not have the same impact as first movie. It is exciting and fast moving. I think it could have done more with storyline but I enjoyed it. Well worth going if you liked the first.

Not as good as the 1st (of course!)

by clubgee

I love Liam Neeson! I thought they could have played off more on the story then them just coming for him for revenge and I did not like the fight scenes as much as the 1st movie it was very chopped or short clipped and kind of unclear who was hitting who. I still enjoyed the movie but like I said it was no where near as good as the 1st. Still a big fan!!!

Felt like a long Freddiew movie.

by

If you don't know who Freddiew is, look him up on youtube.

Anyways, it had the same style as Freddiew. Great graphics, great action, lots of shooting, but ABSOLUTELY NO PLOT. In my opinion, the plot was actually pretty bad.

For me, I'm more of a plot guy, so I had to rate this a so-so.

A so-so follow up to the original

by tman418

When I watched the original "Taken," there was hardly anything happening that required me to suspend my disbelief because I could believe that everything I saw could happen. Taken 2 tries to take the original to the next level, but all it does is make the movie seem convoluted. I'm also disappointed in the excessive use of shaky hand-held cameras that fail to capture the action when Liam Neeson starts beating everybody.

Great Movie

by marielew

I would recommend this movie to anybody, but you must see the first movie "Taken". I was in suspense as to how this was going to turn out. Full of action and Liam Neeson is awesome in this movie;. He is a tremen dous actor. He put you right in the movie with all its action. A must see! What I also liked was there wasn't all the sex, and cussing (just a little) I would not recommend this to children under 16 because of all the shootings and killings.

taken 2

by triplex1091

taken 2 was great don't know why critics trashed this movie taken 2 gives more story and a little less of action and as for the acting well the acting was great from Liam Neeson and the rest of the cast. i was a little nervous hearing that taken was going to get a sequel but after seeing the movie the writers did a good job making a believable situation

i give this movie 9/10
