Taken 2 (2012)
Taken Again, but not really
So Liam 'the giant' Neeson got himself taken too. (hence the title, taken 2). But no worries, his teenage daughter, played by a 30 year old, throws a few bombs into populated areas, run on roof tops, spots the smoke and saves dadzilla, evading skilled assassins who are following her, because she has her fathers DNA and therefore the special set of skills to 'find you' in a crowded place.
The taken 2 guys were the progenitors of the taken 1 guys, whom Neeson had killed.
Neeson of course, goes Terminator on the taken 2 bad guys, so that he can save his family again. And, after killing everyone, they all happily sit down for ice cream. May be in taken 3, the 30 year old daughters boyfriend or husband will be kidnapped, making this Neeson's version of Die Hard.
The Last Stand (2013)
He's (barely) Back
behold the geriatric terminator! wrinkled human tissue over decaying metal endoskeleton! He's BACK !! So, old terminator didn't melt in cauldron of molten metal, but went to a sleepy border town called Sommerton Junction. His deputies were spongbob, Patrick star, and discount Gina Carano.
the key villains are, Satan from Constantine and a race car driver Spongbob wanted to move out in to the action packed violence of L.A, but died due to action packed violence in Sommertown Junction. Discount Gina Carano cries (the real one would never cry). Terminator gets angry. Patrick Star Wanted to 'look the other way', but later agrees to fight, gets shot trying to save the 'milk-maid' Old terminator deputizes a jackass and a former Marine. Cuts the villains in half (literally) and prevents the race car driver from crossing the border after clearing a corn field and passionate bromantical bonding session on a makeshift bridge.
so whats so bad about all this? 'most dangerous international drug kingpin' is a race-car driving BOY who can't even stand a knife wound. the entire movie he's doing NOTHING. NOTHING, but drive, of all the fast cars in the world.. a .. never mind.
compare this movie with Arnold's old movies. Seriously, what is this shythe? what is happening to the movie industry.. where have all the good brains gone?
Bullet to the Head (2012)
They should stop making action movies like this. Thats for sure.
personally, the only reason why i rented this movie was because stallone was in it. I had little or no regard for Conan the male model, nor Fast & Furious Liu Kang.
The action sequences were kind of 80's. which is probably the only redeeming quality in this movie, as stated by 'greetings from lithuania'. But this movie is NOTHING in the league of 'red heat' or any of sly's other 80's movies. There's somethings quite irritating about this movie; the dialog, the acting, and the story line. I don't mind unrealistic story lines, but the story line of 'bullet to the head' was appalling.
it felt like a bullet to the head to keep on watching. So i stopped at the point where the boat house was bombed.
