Just got back from a special advance screening of Taken 2 in London. If you enjoyed the first film, you will very much enjoy this.
What I will point out is that this is almost a parody of the first film - there are lots of in jokes, references and humor directed at the style of the first film - especially how protective Brian Mills (Liam Neeson) is of his daughter. There are lots of funny scenes involving his daughter, him and his daughter's boyfriend.
The action is there and as brutal as always. There are some great speeches and lines very similar to that famous "I will find you" speech in the first movie.
The audience I watched this with laughed a lot - this is a much more light hearted film than the first and doesn't take itself seriously which is great. As mentioned, it is more of a parody of the first film, with everything magnified by 10. It had a very similar tone to what was great about the original Bourne Trilogy.
It is everything a fan of the first film would wish for - the speeches, the action, the humour and the brutal efficiency of Liam Neeson's 'Brian Mills'.
Enjoyed this very much - a definite for fans of the first film and a must see for anyone else.
