[BLOG] Taken 2

[EthanRunt]

A poor follow up to Taken. Ridiculous in every sense of the word: dumb script, awful dialogue, thin plot and the set up was too slow at the beginning.

Neeson deserves better than this.

4/10

Wait, this could easily be a description of the first film.
It follows the same everything.

True but the first film feels a bit more slick and more coherent. We followed Neeson's character and it worked better with having the daughter off screen until the end. I don't remember cringing or rolling my eyes like I did in this one.

What a poor film. You had to laugh throughout which I doubt was the intention of the film makers. I also wondered how Kim ("Faster, Kim....Faster, Kimmy"-- what a script) could drive a stick shift -- the percentage of Americans who can is pretty small -- at least it was when I learned to drive both many decades ago. Of course there were so many stupid things about the 'plot' and I use the term loosely, that it is hard to pick out just one. Glad to share the experience with Zoe Banfield who thanked me for letting her be her +1 which was generous given the awful film.

[spoiler]Only when upside-down, they mention blood rushing to the head. No danger after that.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Ah, you are right, thanks for that. She did look in a bad way generally, but I suppose being kidnapped will do that to you.[/spoiler]

My point exactly! that's all I could think about is stick gear and clutch.

[spoiler]first of all she can't parallel park, then she can speed through Turkey backwards and crash into the Embassy[/spoiler]

the highlight of the evening was the massive queue to get your phone back! it went all the way back to the stairs!
i was positively bursting for a pee but it was either bathroom or phone...the phone won and i wet myself. no regrets.

LOL - that's why we left before the film was even over, and Burger King got our pee business.

I'm late to jump on the bandwagon but here I am! I thought it was absurd and had such an awful script but I did find that I actually enjoyed it, more in a so-bad-it's-good sense.
