"Taken" the Boxoffice

They're called critics because they critique things. I get it, they have "unique opinions."  But that doesn't mean that unique is always right.  In this case, it's not.  Taken 2 was well-planned, well-executed, and frankly a very enjoyable movie.  Having the original cast back was fantastic and the storyline was very logical. If they have to end on this one, it's a great film with which to do it.  If they carry it further, then they have a great set up.  I won't give anything away that's not in the trailers, but suffice it to say, the bad guys weren't too bright when they took his daughter.  They were just stupid when they took his wife AND him. It was a really great action movie!

I'm not quite sure I understand the critics reactions, for example one said that this was a "...softer, more teen-friendly approach" and another said that Taken 2 was "irresponsibly violent for a movie aimed at 12 year olds."  Seriously?  This was aimed at 12 year olds?  I would hate to be that critic's kid!  You should make Taken 2 a priority to see. If this is a kids' movie according to the critics, then I'm going to see a whole lot more kiddie films!
