Taken 2

by movie-pro

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..

Taken 2

by sloanschool

Disappointing. Especially because the first one was so good.
It was great to see the same actors in their roles, but the story was not believable. The writing was poor.

Taken 2

by

Not as good as the first, and it was pretty much a repeat. I loved the 1st one but not this one. I feel like they didn't even try to make a different movie. If my boyfriend would not have drug me to it we would have went and seen house at the end of the street witch I still have not seen because they keep coming out with all theses man movies!!

Taken 2

by jplouis03

I took my wife to see the movies and it was great. There was more action and more involvement from his ex-wife and daughter. The movie was just incredible. Can't wait until comes out on the DVD.

Liam Neeson is taking over Bruce Willis's Spot

by

I said this before the movie, and ironically there was a trailer for the new Die Hard, but, Liam Neeson is taking over for Bruce Willis as the resident bad ass. The movie was great, all the actors played their parts perfectly. The action was great and of course Liam Neeson is just too cool for school. But, I actually like Taken better than Taken 2. It just seemed more realistic the way things went down. I don't want to give anything away, but I had beef with the daughter driving. When you see it, you may understand the irony of her skills. However, it was still an awesome flick and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes action :)

Good sequel, first was better

by wp71401

Was worth the price of admission, but I do think the first one was better. This one was slightly more predictable. Rolling the story together from the first one did a good job. Neeson does a good job playing the role of the fatherly bada** who can go from middle-aged father figure to undercover "superhero" at the drop of a grenade. If you liked the first you will like this one.

Rewind and replay

by hrz

No major diff vs Taken 1. V v v similar look and feel. Liam is a great actor, but getting old, cant run (or even walk fast). Execution of rescue/escape was hurried thru. OK movie, not bad, but not v exciting either.

Taken 2

by dwright803

A good movie..with a lot of action..the story line about the wife being seperated from her rich husband is really good (just like everyday life)..Liam's instincts are right on point and as usual he is strictly business and really cares about his family.. - a good movie that is filmed in a good location here and abroad....most importantly - it shines more light on the human trafficking trade(no actual scenes in the movie, but verbiage about the trade) - which needs to be exposed and eradicated ..

I loved this movie!

by

I was a big fan of Taken and I was skeptical this sequel would be good. I loved it! They did leave it set up for a third but I think it would be stretching the story line a bit. Two was perfect and I am happy I went to see this!

Liam Performs Major *** Kicking

by SteveWeatherstone

This movie just goes from one amazing scene to the next! One of the best car chases I've ever seen and overall photography of Istanbul is excellent! As you probably know from the first Taken, there are some REALLY GRITTY scenes, so think very hard about whether to take a female friend or spouse!

Plot Recycling For The Short Attention Span Crowd.

by Alon Patterson

Lots of action here, although they do cheat a lot with Neeson's fight scenes, speeding them up to near visual imperceptivity. Guess that stems from his old age, yet still relatively youthful appearance. Anyway, who in their right mind would criticize the man who spoke those epic film words: "Release the Kraken?" This isn't a bad movie, it's just pretty much the same movie as its namesake. The first one worked well, so guess they must have figured, "why fix it if it ain't broke." This movie's good for a two hour respite from reality, provided of course your life's absent high speed car chases, excessive brutal physical and gun violence, and the seemingly loving yet comically unbroken..broken marriage. It should follow that leaving the kiddies home for this one is advised. Otherwise, see it. It's worth its ticket price.

If you loved seeing Liam kick butt in Taken you will love it in Taken 2

by juelturn515

I found myself with my hands over my mouth, willing the characters to jump farther, run faster, or hit harder in this awesome suspense thriller. Great edge of your seat movie.

Taken 2

by Dutton Road

My 17 and 13-year old boys saw this movie, and they both enjoyed it and said it was well worth the price of the ticket. The only negative comment they shared was that some of the action scenes (bodily injury or a death) didn't seem to "add up". But, overall, they enjoyed the movie, and they both gave it a thumb's up.

tie rap used to restrain...ugh..

by

A 20 cent tie rap used to detain him after he is caught. They were pushing it when he busted the steam pipe in part one but an expert killer couldn't get hand cuffs. ughh..they lost me from there and just couldn't get into movie. They set it up for part 3 I feel but no no no way would I go.
