I bet there will be a considerable gulf between the critics and the general moviegoers with this one. The latter won't mind it being an earnest slice of the same exact pie.


Speed 2?


Speed 2 wasn't a slice of the "same exact pie," though. It not only lacked Keanu but affected by the catastrophic decision to frame it around a cruise ship.

Taken 2 just looks like the same movie as Taken. Which is why it'll be huge.


I know it won't be another Speed 2 and the opening will be BIG. But one can't deny that the reviews are really not any good at all with the current 9% score at RT...

Taken 2 is just going to be like Hangover 2 was to Hangover.

Taken 2 is #2 on the Fandango 5. Frankenweenie has not cracked the top 5.

The reviews are really quite terrible. Won't matter opening weekend, though.


I'm not suprised. I saw it yesterday I have to say that it's pretty much copy&paste of first movie but this time you feel like this is some kind of joke.

The Hangover is the best example for Taken IMO. A few months back I thought Taken 2 would tank/disappoint as it seemed unnecessary and more of the same - reminding me of Blair Witch 2, Speed 2 etc - but looks like it will atleast open huge.

Taken 1 was one of the most crowd pleasing films in early 2009.

Everyone I know watched it and found the film at least okay to good...
