Taken 3 (2015)

Very disappointed :(

Good start, but then it gets ruined

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

After my love of the previous 2 I'm afraid to say that i wasn't a big a fan of taken 3. I mean there were a few cool action driving scenes but apart from that it was quite dull. I thought the killing off one of the main characters was done very poorly. Brian showed little to no emotion over the death of his wife, which for me was very disappointing. Liam Neeson gives another awesome performance as Mills but for me i could tell he kind of looked bored throughout the movie. He didn't really give much else to Brian that he has already done; which for me was disappointing.Personally this film wasn't bad its just i would have liked to see more emotion towards the death of Lorrie. However the rest of the cast did a superb job for the roles they had.

Taken 3 is exactly what one might anticipate From an unnecessary sequel to a good franchise

Although I've watched "Did You Hear About the Morgans" and "The Room", Taken 3 is the upmost worst movie I've ever seen. Worst of all, I paid for it. I am not really sure, but I think it had to be a PG13 screening. There was no blood whatsoever. First scene - someone gets knive slaughtered in the bedroom. Sheets clean, floor clean, even the freaking knive was clean as like it just came out of the dishwasher. This no-blood-technique goes on. People die during that movie out of nothing, they just seem to fall asleep or jump against walls and then fall asleep. There was one hilariously stupid scene, in which the main character looked at his 1980'-like cell phone to see a map with GPS coordinates on where his daughter is right now. Wow. Wow. This was so up-to-date. If 1977's Star Wars wanted to be as up-to-date as Taken 3, the space ships would had been built of wood. Graphics and movement remind me of the 1980's Pac-man game. I know this is a movie, but Liam Neeson seemed to be god-like and kind of supernatural - waaay too much in my opinion. I really enjoyed Taken I. Taken II was a waste of time, but Taken III - just don't watch it, don't pay for it, don't buy dvds, blurays, don't waste your time.BTW If you are a fan of Family Guy, you should watch this Taken spoof episode - Family Guy - Leggo My Meg-O 2012.

Taken 3 is a mediocre movie with an average plot and a cast that look more inspired to get their pay check than to be in this. It certainly has its moments, there are some stellar action sequences and some really tense scenes that make for a pleasant viewing that is certainly not boring. It is a pleasure as always to see Liam Nesson naturally slip back in to Bryan Mills' shoes, he has a very effortless screen presence. When I first saw the trailer, I was delighted to see this movie taking a different approach and doing something very unlike the last two films. However, this plot is in no way as engaging or gripping as the previous two, it was a lot more predictable and felt like any other action. While the first Taken was breaking boundaries, this movie played it safe.There is also some very cringe worthy dialogue throughout that took me out of it on a regular basis. No matter how absurd the characters situation is, everything they say in response should still feel realistic, there were far too many "action movie lines" that no one would ever say in real life. No one's heart seemed to be in this, and that was it's downfall. Reasonably well executed, Taken 3 falls flat in far too many other areas for me to possibly recommend it. After being framed for a murder he did not commit, Bryan Mills sets out to find the real killer while on the run from the law. Best Performance: Forest Whitaker
