Not good news.
Taken 2 re-edited to get 12A UK rating.
May well have to wait for the uncut DVD.
What a shame, who is going to want to take a 10 year old to see it FFS?

Not to piss on everyone's chips but have we all noted that the sequel is a 12A rather than an 18?
So expect all the stuff that made the first one good - hard, brutal bloody violence, blood, torture, etc to be replaced by slo-mo fight sequences designed for kiddies. Shame really
Aaaaargghh, why have they done this the stupid idiots? So we won't get to see him shoot someones wife in this one then? I predict this isn't going to end well.So expect all the stuff that made the first one good - hard, brutal bloody violence, blood, torture, etc to be replaced by slo-mo fight sequences designed for kiddies.

Empire - Taken 2 ReviewBut the most relevent point would appear to be this
Blame must be laid at the feet of director Olivier Megaton (the man behind Transporter 3 and Colombiana, replacing Taken’s Pierre Morel), who has an excellent name but fists of ham when it comes to lensing combat. Time and again Mills faces off against foes, only for the resulting scraps to unfold so confusingly — thanks to shakycam, overcranking and merciless strobe-cuts — that it appears he’s editing people to death. It might be to disguise the fact that Neeson, who’s just turned 60, isn’t exactly Jet Li. Or it could be because crucial shots have been excised to secure a 12A rating (the original was 15, with an 18 director's cut
Damn it, what a shame.
They just dont get it do they?
What are the best and most memorable scenes in Taken? The nails in the legs, shooting the wife, thug opens door and is blown away, pimp gunned down in elevator, Arab takes one between the eyes. Simple, brutal, effective, often one shot.
What do we do for the sequel? Oh lets make all the fight scenes in the chopped up, speeded up, slowed down, super-quick edit, mashed up style that makes every f
king action blockbuster so crappy these days.
Well done everyone.

Fed up of studios and writers selling out. 12A my arse.
Went to see it this morning,very busy cinema,should be a moneyspinner.As for the film,loved the first one,this although along the same lines,felt disappointing.Some pretty poor acting/scripting,looks to me like they are milking a cash cow.With hindsight i would wait for dvd release.
