And well, yeah, its a thing. It has a basic hollywood sequel plot: Events of 1st movie have repercussions, and here they are. This time around, its the father of the people that Liam Neeson murdered in the first movie, and he wants revenge. The daughter from the first movie plays somewhat of a bigger role this time around, although, I found myself yelling "you dense motherfucker" at her multiple times due to the sheer stupidity which is her character. Also, it takes a good half, maybe even 2/5 of the movie before we get to see any of the Liam Neeson ass-kicking that we spent our money on. I give it a thumbs half. Good at points, but overall bad.
I felt the same way about this sequel. The energy, imagination, and plot development does not match Taken I. I still like Liam though, not many actors can make you feel menaced with a look and a couple of words...lol!
