Honestly, getting back to the basics is probably better for the film.

byran mills didn't screw his wife and talk to him about her sweet black vag, sooooooo....

it's funny though, Whitaker's character goes through so much against Vic and comes up with no wins...

I mean, it has Forrest Whitaker in it, and Liam still being a badass.

I also love how that Walk among Tombstones is essentially Taken 2.5.

It's that level of "so bad it loops back around to being good". Hilarious shit includes: bullet wounds that don't bleed for shit, 2 full explanations of the movie at the end.

In response to Reply # 0


          

It reminded me of Lethal Weapon 3 and 4, where the shit is so bad and slopped together, but it tries to hold itself together with the expectation that the audience is firmly invested in the central cast, no matter how little dialogue they get, or how underdeveloped they are.

Taken 3 is a sloppy, stupid movie. The only justification I can see for it is that a movie studio probably dumped buckets of money on Liam Neeson. Or he was hard up for cash and his grandkids needed braces.

I don't even see why they gave this the tagline "It Ends Here" because (SPOILER!) the only thing in the way of Taken 4 and 5 is a few more buckets of money and Liam Neeson's creative conscience.

On some "People gotta be tired of this shit, right? But, we can't NOT have a trilogy these days, so let's make the last one." Then it tops at th box office, and everyone has to gear up for the next go-round.

He wasn't looking very "Liam Neesons" in the liquor store brawl. Them young dudes were handing him his shit, for the most part.

27. "what gets me is that Taken 2 seemed to set up a good part 3"
In response to Reply # 26


          

As a revenge story, the last surviving sons of the villain from part 2 going after dude. I was sure that they were going to finish off the 'trilogy' that way.

Just the idea that to protect his family, he keeps on having to kill folks and get other people to go after him for revenge. At the end he could have realized that his presence alone will always put them in danger.

Instead they pretty much ditch everything from the first two movies and off on this lame other direction.

But that is probably asking waaaaaaaay too much of a pretty simple, straightforward action crime thriller. I kind of felt silly that I left the theater after Taken 3 disappointed that it wasn't Oldboy...
