not bad, not as good as the first one

Rating: 5/10 (10 January 2013)

After enjoying Taken 1, I watched this one, with high expectations. In total, the movie was O.K, I haven't felt bored or anything, but I haven't watched it with passion as well. The story line was poor, depending totally on the previous movie, which I think it is not very charming. Liam Neeson seems like an old man, trying to be in shape, thus, the action and combat scenes were short, slow, not so interesting and very cliché. The suspense factor were missing, no original ideas. you feel like, they are depending on the success of the previous movie, and trying to get as much money as they can get. very poor choice of music and soundtracks, like they haven't put much effort into it. The trick scene, the scene when he told his daughter how to find them, was the most clever and interesting scene in the whole movie. at the end, it was O.K, emotionless, without a deep meaning, cliché, a rip off from the previous movie and you have a feeling they didn't an effort into it anyway.
