    Taken 2 - An Amazing Adventure

    A very suspenseful, hold on to the edge of your seat movie. While we always think a sequel is tough to match the original, this one surely did. A must see for those who like Liam Neeson and enjoy the thrill of an exciting movie.

    Taken 2 Experience!

    You may love the first one better but you have never seen anything like this! An action packed film filled with a vengeance! Don't mess with LIam Neeson (Bryan Mills).

    YOU WILL BE TAKEN FOR A RIDE WITH THIS ANEMIC SEQUEL OF "TAKEN"!

    A great looking cast cannot save this action flick from resonating as one of the top "bombs" of the year; nonsensical, implausible, laughably ridiculous. Liam Nesson, ageing nicely, is again recreating the role of "Bryan Mills" an ex-CIA operative; "Taken" revolved around the kidnapping of his daughter "Kim" (Maggie Grace) by an Albanian sex trafficking cabal; titillating, spine-tingling scenario made this a fun, fascinating movie experience...

    "Taken 2" had a difficult time deciding on who was to be "taken"; Mills? Ex-wife, "Lenore" (Famke Jansson)? Kim? Actually after twenty minutes, it hardly mattered. It is spring break and mother/daughter surprise Mills in Istanbul, Turkey; they are being stalked by the father and his fraternity killers, seeking revenge for the death of sons/brothers killed by Mills in "Taken"...

    1 & 1/2 STARS!!

    bad guys are um.....really bad....

    the bad guys in this movie are really bad....bad at fighting, bad at running, bad at shooting....
    just really bad. i think i could have given a better fight than the bad guys in this movie. there are good moments of chasing and driving in the movie, however, the bad guys could've put up a better fight. guess they didn't have time....as the movie only lasts 90 minutes....as sequels go this one is like the most-not as good as the first....maybe we were expecting too much as the first one was pretty good....

    Just so so

    Here's a review that echoes my thoughts --

    huffingtonpost.com/steve-harmon/taken-2-go-see-or-w_b_1958849.html

    basically most people think it's a DVD watcher...not must see movie

    nowhere near as good as the first one at all

    p.s.

    why is it that some people brought their newborn infants to this movie? Can't be good for a kid to sit through bad acting like that

    Taken 2

    A little slow at first but hang on for the ride. I didn't keep track of the body count by Mills but I'm thinking 25 to 30....Great action..3 stars..

    Much like the first one: bad***

    This was definitely a predictable movie, but that doesn't take away how fun it is to see Liam Neeson Kick a bunch of ass. The plot in the this movie is pretty thin: bad guy's dad is pissed that Liam Neeson killed his bad guy son, so he decides to try and torture/kill all of Liam Neeson's family. Seems like a fair trade, right?

    Can watch it once

    I had reviewed Taken 2 movie in my blog (317cauvery in blogspot).

    In my opinion, Taken 2 is better than Skyfall, for it has all the elements to call itself a Bond movie, but for the "My name is Bond" and the Bond's theme music.

    Taken 2 - Liam Neeson is Excellent! My Father My Hero!

    Once again Taken 2 is a must see movie with Liam Neeson. The acting, directing, cinemotography, writing, stunt scenes, etc were so intense it kept me on the edge of my seat. I have accepted Laim Neeson as "My Father My Hero". Another action movie that will stand on it's own for years to come. I give a standing ovation to the Director, Producer, Writer, Screen Play Writer, Executive Director, Cinematography, Stunt Coordinator, Make-up Artists, etc.
    I can say watching Liam Neeson fight's scene brought out the knowledge of his martial arts skills. I even recognized some of the Martial Arts Forms (Kata's) Liam was doing during his fight scenes in Taken 2. His technique was flawless, & perfect. A job well done. His martial arts fight scenes are the same as my martial arts school (Japanese Goju-Ryu Style). Mr Neeson dominated every self defense technique with his fighting skills in this movie. Best line:
    "Your Mother & I are about to be Taken, I have to go now I will call you back."

    Don't waste your time or money

    This movie is nothing like Taken, it is kill, kill, kill. The plot is so predictable and the action is so Hollywood repeat, you have seen this same movie over and over and over again. Just don't waste your time, the movie is just not worth the effort and it is an effort. We almost left half way through, what a terrible movie.

    Taken 2: TheTakening...

    by

    Liam Neeson is 60 and still kicks major *** in this unneeded but welcome sequel. continues the story of brian mills and family and those peskey albanians from tropoja. more story, which is the case with most sequels, but still tons of action. if you loved the first taken then your sure to like this one alot as well. go see it ,or wait for the dvd, but see it none the less. ***1/2 out of 5. or B+ if your an entertainment weekly fan. so in conclution, taken 2 is an action packed movie with a hero really gett behind and still care about... and 'm sure is better then all of the tweenlight crap with sparklie vampires. thank you.
