I went an seen to taken 2 yesterday, I went all the way from Los Angeles CA, to Indiana to watch it with a good friend which I still didn't mind. But I probably wouldn't mind even more if it wasn't a terrible movie. I have quite a few personal grievances with the movie a lot on the part that I am special forces and some of the movie was utter bullsh*t.
It was not anywhere near as good as the first one, and I mean not even in the same ballpark. Maybe if I never seen the first one it would have been a decent movie, Liam Neeson did a wonderful job as usual, my grievances are not with the actors who where amazing, its with the director and screenplay writer. They left an opening for a 3rd movie which I may count as the second if I actually see it to begin with.
I was actually thinking about leaving the theater during the movie, I originally thought all this was because I was special forces, so maybe I was expecting too much but shimu brought 6 friends and all of them said it was terrible too. In my opinion, if they weren't gonna put the same effort in the second one as the first, they shouldn't have made it to begin with.
