    Ugh!

    by LeeLabo

    Huge disappointment! Liked the first one but this one was terrible. Bad story line, bad acting. When is the last time you had your daughter run around with a bag of explosives and throw the, here and there? Stupid stupid stupid.

    Taken 2

    by msmirlis1

    Another nail biter. This is one of the rare times that a sequel is as good or better than the 1st movie. I would definitely see it again.

    I want to see it again

    by movie_momster_and_some

    This movie was everything I want less a bit more action from him. I love hearing him speak and seeing him kick but. Just recent seen him in an interview and realized it wasn't his natural voice. Anyway the movie was so good as part 2 but I hope they start part 3 now because the villian has two son's left so you know a part 3 is coming. He seems to be a bit slower so part three should be soon.

    Not As Good As the First Movie

    by mlgriffinjr

    This movie picks up where the first movie ends. This makes some of the things that occurred in the movie unbelievable. Frankly, given the events of the first movie, extensive therapy should have been required for several characters. The action was just as good as in the first movie, but the story wasn't as plausible. The plot seemed to be underdeveloped and served merely as a segue into the action scenes. If you were a fan of the first movie you may be disappointed. If you were merely a fan of the action in the first movie, then by all means go and see this one.

    Good as the first

    by Spydercage

    Good as the first, nice to see the older crowd in an action movie. I feel really good for Liam Neeson, getting older and still kicking ass. Cool movie doesn't drag in the middle, and moves at a good pace thru the whole time.
    Go and see.

    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....

    Again?

    by citrouille

    I really enjoyed the first Taken and was hoping that the second installment would top its predecessor and really wow me. I was, unfortunately, disappointed to see that Taken 2 was actually just the skeleton of the first film. The action was lackluster and fell incredibly short of the original's and kidnapping didn't have all the danger edge-of-your-seatness that the first had. My friends and I were very often laughing out loud at the film's ridiculousness. Despite its shortcomings, I would recommend Taken 2 as it was semi-enjoyable... I'd wait for DVD release though. Let's just hope Taken 3 isn't in the works.

    Taken 2 was Ok entertaining

    by capricdragon

    My wife thought it was good and it's hard to keep her hooked during a movie.
    The main bad guy was typical overblown mouth with not much else than an attitude. The bullets seemed limitless. Sounds like there's going to be a Part-3.

    A Fun Ride

    by Tri_L321

    Strap on that handy suspension of disbelief because if you try to apply logic to anything that happens in Taken 2 you'll ruin the fun! Not quite as entertaining as the first and it takes a lot more winding up but once it get's going it doesn't stop until the last bad guy is dead. Bryan Mills hands out bullets and beatings with equal skill and ferocity. Never start a fight you can't finish!

    better than the first

    by guidnasty123

    this one had a little bit more drama but very predictable withch i was mad about cause the point of movies like this are to have a little suspence but other than that a good movie. PG-13 is a good rating for this movie cause there is a little sexuallity but nothing R. i think there could be a third one but i would wait a little so the price of tickets goes down. to understand this one you have to whatch the first one witch is good cause so things that might have not made sense in the first get kinda resolved in this one. there are some funny parts in his one unlike the first where everything was all serious. maybe now is a god time to see this movie seeing that tickets have gone down. i hoped this helped.

    Taken 2

    by RICKH82

    Like all action movies... There is a signifcant amount of "Over the Top" scenes. However... The story and suspence created allows one to shake it off quickly. One does NOT need to see the first TAKEN to enjoy it. With that said... The first one is very good and should be watched anyway.

    Great Movie!

    by aleaks

    My hubby and I really enjoyed seeing this movie especially after seeing Taken. It was suspenseful and had some life lessons that anyone with a family worth fighting for can learn.

    Taken 2

    by Windolyn

    This movie was too good just about good as the first Taken, I don't know which one was the best but you all have to see this movie, it's a must see. At the end of the day, you never mess with family, especially with a person wife, husband, daughter or son.

    Taken was better.

    by trayes

    When I first saw the trailer for Taken 2, It was like watching the trailer for Taken all over again, but I gave the movie a chance by going to see it anyways. I basically was right. I felt like Taken 2 was nowhere near as action packed as the first, It was actually kind of slow through most of the movie. The parts that were action packed were hard to follow, it was hard to adjust my eyes and be able to see what was going on because everything was moving so quick. And the movie seemed to be over very fast. I won't be seeing this movie again, or buying this one.
