This looks GOOD.

I can't wait to find out if his daughter is now a superstar singer.

God I fucking hated the first one, it was the most contrived shit I have possibly ever seen and I'm really not that fussy! I'll be watching this just so I have something to rant at I expect. Liam, come back into the light dear

Loved Taken. This looks decent too. But then, all trailers look good, don't they?

Man they made this one so blurry...

Yep, marketing! I will wait for the reviews!

This looks fucking awesome.

What? Are you actually serious? I'm not allowed to express my dislike for something because you like it? It seems it's not me who needs to get my head out of my arse.

im with A_C.
the word "contrived" is a perfect word to use in describing the first movie.
though i would not say i hated the first, i will say it was chock full of ..meh.
the trailers are all you really needed.
they were freaking AWESOME!

The reason I hated it was because it was promising to deliver most of the way through then just fizzled out, such an anti-climax! Also I'd been told by so many people I'd love it, so it was just disappointing all round. And the main reason was that it left nearly every move he made unexplained, like he was some kind of mindreader. Just annoying! And made more annoying by the fact everyone loves it! They love it so fucking much they get shitty that I publicly hated it

I just found it enormously enjoyable action nonsense. And Liam Neeson is so fucking cool he just pulls it all off magnificently.


Things I love about Taken - SPOILERS;



The way his "17 year old" daughter runs to convince us she's 17.
He kills half the Albanian gang presence in Paris.
He gives his daughter a mobile phone without a charger.
Shooting the wife of his ex-colleague - I was just gobsmacked by that.
Neeson's running. He can't actually run so it's just as well people come at him.
Whatsherface as a megastar popstar which seems a slightly cruel bit of casting.
The fact that he NEVER reloads in the film - he just picks up new guns.

And of course that speech on the phone. It doesn't get better than that in my opinion.

I also liked Battleship and Snow White. I've become such a mainstream consumer! :'(
