neutral · AI labelView post →All the action scenes like Taken 3, all the talking scenes like Bohemian Rhapsody, that's the full AI movie experience lol

negative · AI labelView post →I knew BBC "Titanic Sinks Tonight" docudrama would really affect me. Taken 3 weeks to watch the 4 eps because each ate away at me. For all its faults I sob at Cameron's film every time (and I have seen it a *lot*) But I was totally caught off guard by this piece of survivor testimony
neutral · AI labelView post →I can't believe I woke up 2hrs early to watch this. I've been accused of being overly forgiving of some some of Trek's missteps... but this was super rough. Also, we all remember that Taken 3 scene where it took 50 camera cuts for Liam Neeson to jump a fence? That was this whole movie.
negative · AI labelView post →Taken 3 I mean, the second wasn't great - but still enjoyed it. There's an alternative version of the second film I saw as well - which was quite good.

neutral · AI labelView post →You know Taken 3 is their favorite movie
neutral · AI labelView post →110% on both points. Die Hard 5 was abominable and I still count myself pretty lenient with my action movie (well, a lot of art generally) critique. Slightly depressing experience that one, maybe equal to Taken 3 for just being so tossed off.
negative · AI labelView post →Taken 3 tries to bring a fresh angle to the franchise, shifting from the usual "rescue mission" to a fugitive-style thriller, but it doesn’t quite hit the mark. The plot feels weaker compared to the first two, relying on predictable twists and a lack of real tension. The script struggles to connect the story in a meaningful way, making it feel more like an unnecessary sequel rather than a proper conclusion. The directing leans heavily on fast cuts and shaky action sequences, which at times make…
neutral · AI labelView post →She also liked taking me out on my birthday as a teen. She suggested we watch Taken 3, but ended up watching Apollo 18 because that was my choice. We were the only two people in the theatre and I remember laughing so loud together at just how BAD that movie was.

neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's film - Thelma! The cinematic opposite of that bit in Taken 3 where they make Liam Neeson jump over a fence with the magic of 17 quick cuts. Slow and steady and charming as heck.
negative · AI labelView post →2024 #Movie #62: Taken 3
neutral · AI labelView post →I can handle the 47 cuts and shakey cam poorly trying to hide the fact that Liam Neeson can't run. I can handle the inevitability of "More money means more explosions!" in franchises like these. I can even contort myself to handle the right-out-the-gate fridging of one of my favourite actresses that Taken 3 copped so much flak for. But what I cannot handle is how absolutely fucking dumb this movie gets in the second half. Every five minutes my roommate or I had to scream "WHAT!?" at the things…
negative · AI labelView post →I was looking forward to this movie and I have to say that I was a wee bit disappointed. It is a decent enough action movie but the script leaves somewhat to be desired. A good chunk of the movie is quite good, actually it is very good, but there are some crucial scenes that, in my opinion, really drags it down to a rather mediocre level. The plot is a fairly classical, not a very intelligent nor a very original, one. When trying to push the third sequel in a series Hollywood have a tendency to…
neutral · AI labelView post →The rugged and feisty Liam Neeson (as on-screen alter ego ex-CIA operative Bryan Mills) is back in fighting form for a third and supposedly final go-around in ‘Taken 3′. This tired and tepid action-packed crime thriller is directed by French filmmaker Olivier Megaton (‘Taken 2’, ‘Transporter 3’) with screenwriting credits attributed to ‘Taken’ producer Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen. Clearly Neeson and company want to squeeze the remaining strained juices out of the ‘Taken’ film franchise as…
neutral · AI labelView post →> Independently a fine movie rather being associated with TAKEN. Actually, it was not a bad movie, I really enjoyed it. But associated with 'Taken' and being the third film in the series was the setback. Because unlike the first two films, this one was somewhat detached from the original theme. Except the cast from the previous two, the story takes place in a completely different platform. From all the three films, the phone call between father and daughter was retained, but was not effective…
