Better Than the 2nd, Never as Good as the 1rst

I think Taken 3 has gotten some undeserved reviews. I think that Taken 3 beats the first sequel, it doesn't beat the first of course but the movie certainly isn't that bad. The Taken name doesn't really suit this movie of course because no one is Taken but really in the end the movie was only made to make money. I didn't like the idea to get rid of Framke Janssen at first because she was one of the best characters in the whole series but they did well bringing Forrest Whitaker in, I thought he did a good job in there. I found myself cheering for Whitaker and Liam Neeson at the same time. I really enjoyed the first hour of the film more than the more action packed ending, I thought the drama at the first part of the movie was great and it set up Liam Neeson's motive to save his family yet again. I hope that this is the last Taken film and really it wasn't a bad conclusion.
