[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Taken 3 gets a bad review

Posted: 1/9/2015 11:59:43 PM EDT

The original "Taken” is about as good as action movies get — reminiscent of those Charles Bronson’s grinders from the seventies that revolved around violence, revenge and criminal subcultures that existed as though law enforcement didn’t. "Taken” was tough, smart, and most of all satisfying. It still is. Nothing is lost on repeat viewing. "Taken 2? was an anti-climactic letdown but a passable middle chapter. I just assumed "Taken 3? would rally — would bring it home and wrap it up in a Big Way.

Nope.

"Taken 3? sucks.

I am shocked, shocked I tell you!

Maybe 4 or 5 will rekindle the magic of the genre?

I went and saw it yesterday. I figured if it made $40 mil the opening weekend how bad can it be? While it wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen, I'd say it wasn't as good as the 2nd one. It had gratuitous amounts of action and shooting, but some of it was over the top making it a bit ridiculous. Save it for a redbox rental.

Liam Neeson and his films are history to me. Can't support the guy after his anti firearms comments.
