I hate it when a sequel destroys what the original has accomplished

Rating: 5/10 (6 October 2012)

Note: the following review doesn't contain spoilers for Taken 2 (2012) but it might have some spoilers for Taken I (2008)
Simple advice: if you loved the first movie then please don't watch this sequel. Why? Lets do a simple comparison:
Story: I loved the original's story; unpredictable & keeps you hooked in to your seats waiting to know what is going to happen. However, the sequel's story was sleazy, unrealistic, & most importantly predictable. Sorry i cant give examples as I'm trying to make this review free from spoilers. In this part i blame the writers for not being creative & for insulting viewers' intelligence.
Acting: One of the original's most beautiful scene is when Bryan (Liam) tells his daughter that she is going to be taken. he was able to tell the viewers that he is in control of the situation even when his daughter was being kidnapped in another continent. But what i saw in Taken 2 is over acting. This also applies to the rest of actors specially his family. It was really irritating & felt unrealistic. Whom I'm blaming here? of course the director & not the actors as I saw what they are capable of in the original film.. Advice, director please see Raymond's "City Island (2009)" where Famke (Lenore the "wife") gave an amazing acting in that movie.
Action: Sorry but i don't call this "action" at all as the director kept on changing between several zoomed in & shaky cameras. I was wondering who punched whom (or was it a kick?!). Meanwhile, the first movie contained nice, smooth, & clear moves. Blaming? again director. Advice? please learn from Isaac's work (Undisputed 2 & 3)
An update: sorry forgot to mention that this sequel is very raciest and insults other nations & religions by its hidden massages. So if you are a Muslim or Turkish/Albanian then you will be feeling insulted, & if you are following another religion or comes from a different country then you will be brainwashed with misleading thoughts & ideas.
