Taken 2 takes your money-time-and leaves you feelin taken!

Rating: 5/10 (24 January 2013)

No this is NOT the worst movie of 2012, it fact there are so many other crappy movies out there that in comparison, this movies is pretty darn good. BUT.....this movie really isn't very good, it's predictable, the acting is robotic and stiff, the action scenes are almost laughable, Liam Neeson moves like he's an old man with arthritis, the bad guys are so stupid that they don't deserve to live, and yet will all that said this is still kind of a fun movie to watch. The problem is I loved the original TAKEN movie, so when this one came along I went into it with high hopes, and there in lies the problem. Had I read a review like this prior to viewing, I think I wouldn't have been so sorely disappointed. For those of you who also enjoyed the original TAKEN, let me now warn you, this is a hollow shell of a sequel, but as action movies go, this is not a total waste either, thus I rate it a 5 star out of a possible 10.
