Movie Review: Taken 2

I didn't see the first but I saw the Family Guy version of it.
It was gooooood.

Rating: PG-13
Time: 91 min
Stars: Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace

So I've been hearing that everyone in the entire universe hates this movie and so on.
They say that this movie loses all of the awesomeness of the first one.
Personally I've never seen the first one.
So I thought it was good even though it had it's flaws.
So the plot in this movie was that the families of the people whom which Liam Neeson killed in the first one want their revenge!
So instead of taking Maggie Grace and trying to sell her as a sex slave they take Liam Neeson and Famke Janssen just for the revenge.
So lets talk about what did work.
When the action finally starts the movie goes by so quickly that you didn't realize what hit you.
Then again they spent half of the movie with Liam Neeson and his family.
But the action is entertaining and you enjoy most of it.
This movie got me really sucked in and it made me enjoy.
I am a fan of Liam Neeson but in some movies he seems really relaxed and calm and like he's not giving it his all.
In this movie it didn't seem like he was trying but that's what I would feel because if I were him I would know that I've done this before and now I'm doing it again.
The music is good and it fits properly with the moment.
And there's this one part where Liam Neeson is with his daughter and he's telling her what to do and where to go.
And that whole huge scene was a really great interesting scene that had me enjoying the movie right from there.
But you know what about Famke?
So eventually he leaves Maggie and then it goes back to it's normal usual action movie self.
The end of the movie was funny, the actual last line was funny but it wasn't any better then most of the movies in the world.
Now lets talk about what didn't work.
The beginning half of this movie is all love and family and it just won't end.
When the action finally starts you feel like you just started a second movie.
Also in this movie is that there is a lot of shaky cam.
When the fights are going on you're like, did that guy just faint?
Did he die.
I think he died.
Moving on, also in this movie it seemed like Liam Neeson was god because there are some parts in this movie where it seems like he just put his and on your face and you just died.
Did he suck the life out of you?
I don't know, no one knows!
And the villains are kind of idiots.
You put the guy who slaughtered all your men in the first movie in a room by himself with 30 minutes to escape.
No one even has to see the movie to know the movie doesn't end there.
So I've heard that the first was so much better and some people are giving this a lower score because they're comparing it to the first, but I didn't see the first so I thought it was good.
So in all this movie has it's flaws but it's movie that people can actually enjoy!
I'd recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't seen the first but saw the family guy version.
Score=7.5
