Review: Taken 2

I don't know about you but when i first heard about Taken 2 I was conflicted. On one hand i was thrilled that they were making a sequel to a great movie, but on the other hand i knew somehow it would be a flop, but was i correct? Pretty much. It is an average action movie. It delivers an average attempt at an average performance of one average man trying to save his average family from the Dos Equis man. The movie seemed to last 3 minutes and strongly encourages breaking the law in any way, shape, or form no matter how unnessicary. For example crashing through the gates of the Us Embassy when it would be simple to ask for help at the gates, or throwing grenades in public places to pinpoint your location using soundwaves. So yes I could say i learned alot from Taken 2, and you think that a family that went through all this would be a little less happy-go-lucky. Also at the end the Dos Equis man tells the main character that his 2 sons will try and kill him, but nobody is scared of that. This movie screams MURDER!!!!!!! Many People Die! Too many People Die!!!! For a family that has been through hell and back you wouldn't expect them to want to vacation very much but wrong!!! THEY LOVE IT!!!! Not only does his daughter love to vacation but she also doesn't like answering her phone. A new installment for this movie is that Liam Neeson's daughter now has a boyfriend. What is she going to tell him when she gets back!!! I have a feeling that after being kidnapped and sold into prostitution this girl would be a little less social. I would assume that she would be lonely for the rest of her life, but not in the world of Taken 2. In the world of Taken 2 a girl can be kidnapped, drugged, and sold as a prostitute and not be in any way emotionally damaged, have a boyfriend, and still probably go to the same high school that her friend from the first taken movie went to. (Who was also kidnapped) All in all, Taken 2 wasn't average. It was sub-par 4/10
