Member BaronK Posted June 21, 2012 Member Share Posted June 21, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpkPeaRGebM Have to admit, when I heard of the premise for this, I was disappointed. Also have to admit, I like how this looks. Hopefully lives up to hopes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member daisho2004 Posted June 21, 2012 Member Share Posted June 21, 2012 @BaronK: I have to agree with you I wasn't sure how it was going to look from what I had read about it, but its looks BadAss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DarthKato Posted June 21, 2012 Member Share Posted June 21, 2012 First one was great and this looks like it might live up to it. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted June 21, 2012 Member Share Posted June 21, 2012 Smart move bringing back the Albanians. It's the least the makers could ever do. A completely new kidnapping/rescue situation with new antagonists would be an automatic fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted June 22, 2012 Member Share Posted June 22, 2012 Oh, those darn albanians.... Seriously, looks pretty cool. Though the director of the travesty that was Transporter 3 irks me a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member daisho2004 Posted September 15, 2012 Member Share Posted September 15, 2012 @kingofkungfu2002: I'm going to say this I have the unrated version of the 1st. Taken and I honeslty didn't see anything different in it. It was the samething with The Raid I didn't see any difference in the unrated version of that either.

Member FrankBolte Posted October 5, 2012 Member Share Posted October 5, 2012 according to this review on twitch the movie sucks big time..... http://twitchfilm.com/2012/09/review-taken-2-sets-new-standard-for-incoherent-action.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 The director has confirmed that there will be an unrated version with more violent action that was cut from the PG-13 version. Honestly I'm gonna wait for that. It's also worth remembering that the original Taken got some terrible reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted October 5, 2012 Member Share Posted October 5, 2012 This first bit of the review has me a little worried... " I'm beginning to suspect that modern action editors have some sort of digital blender that mixes up raw footage of every stunt and arbitrarily adds a cut every half second. How else can we explain Taken 2, which seems unable to even show somebody fall down without cutting to about 30 angles of the same action in the three seconds it takes them to hit the ground?" Transporter 3 anyone? Same director, so........ I liked the first film, and im keeping my hopes up for this one. But I am REALLY getting tired of the frenzied quick cut, jerky cam style of today's action flicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member BaronK Posted October 5, 2012 Author Member Share Posted October 5, 2012 I saw the international version of Taken before I saw the PG US version. The original plays better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member SamSeed Posted November 6, 2012 Member Share Posted November 6, 2012 So what did people think of Taken 2? I personally thought it was OK, especially the hand to hand combat battle near the end. However I was annoyed at the 12A certificate, but the DVD should be better. And I fully agree about Oliver Megaton's editing, he just needs to slow down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Reviews have been terrible. I'm waiting until the director's cut comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted November 16, 2012 Member Share Posted November 16, 2012 The theatrical version had the action scenes hella cut up it was no fun watching them. The movie itself was ok, kinda pointless tbh. If the unrated version will be better than it already sounds, I may give it another chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
