i was positively bursting for a pee but it was either bathroom or phone...the phone won and i wet myself. no regrets.
:giggle:

I've been there! If they had a sign saying which color ticket was at which end of the tables it would be better.

I ran out just before the end, ran back in again as I forgot my coat, got downstairs and got the phone in a minute luckily :cool: o/

As chaotic as it was, it didn't take us longer than 5 or 7 minutes tops to get our phones back.

I've just realised that IMDB gave this film an 8.7. What the f......????

How exactly do they score films? By their making, Taken 2 is better than Aliens, The Green Mile, & level with Forrest Gump & Se7en.

Taken 2 is not released yet, people are voting without having seen the film; this reflect how anticipated the film is; that should fall deeply when Taken 2 opens.

Rotten Tomatoes is actually more interesting in this regard as it has both score and anticipation score ;)

Didn't see the preview. Based on comments, disappointed to know it's no way as good as the original. Will probably wait for the DVD then :)

I've seen this - it does what it says on the tin, to coin a phrase. Just sit back, and don't tax your brain at all.

However....... I think it's been left open for a Taken 3, which I may just have to miss.

I don't know what the fuss is all about... in terms of it being awful etc. I actually quite enjoyed it. I left my brain at the door and even found myself squirming a little bit at some of those oh so tense moments that you knew the outcome of anyway before it happened.

It was very predictable but none the less I did enjoy it and Liam Neeson can re-teach me how to drive any day! ;)
