I really hope the first film was better

Rating: 3/10 (29 December 2012)

This movie is one of those nowadays modern abominations. It's super simple in every way, so idiotic it's insulting to one's intelligence. The proof to that is that by the time the credits roll, you'll feel like you haven't really watched anything, like you were looking at a blank screen for an hour +. That's how dumb it is.
The thing with this type of modern, so-called "action films" is that they aim at being simple and mind-numbing intentionally. Deep down we all know they're not really movies, just replications of those older real action flicks, their plots and characters. This is why you all know how there's not point in describing the plot of characters of "Taken 2". The only supposed value here could be the replication itself, since it's taking inspirational content from old classics, or that it's all being ironic! in the sense of "oh my god, it's so bad that it's good!"
Of course, this theoretical idea of "value" makes no sense at all and never works. Seriously, keep away from this turd. Read a book or something.
