Saw this a couple of days ago.
It held so much promise. A lot of the action scenes were cut out and difficult to work out. The previously mentioned pushing head against wall deaths are two that stand out.

We all know that Neeson is a Jedi/A-team etc etc, but there was never any hint of him failing in the mission.
Such as the evil baddie runs away and hides whilst he fights somebody else.

Very very disappointing and not a scratch on the original.

Saw this last night and can't work out what you're all moaning about, thought it was pretty good.Cheesy and unbelievable, but wasnt the first one? I certainly wouldnt say it was particulary worse than the first in any respect,plenty of action,-no grumbles from me.

Every time I see this thread pop up, I become more filled with vitriol as to how bad this film was

Don't even get me started on how they must of come up with the musical score:

Director - "We don't have any music for this film"

Producer - "We spent it all on bikinis for the 29 year old woman who plays the 17 year old girl. That film Drive was popular right? just take the main two songs from that"

Director - "Phew that saves me some effort, I think I'm gonna take the whole scene as well?"

Producer - "I don't care, that bikini was worthwhile"

Too shakey cameras and the film was crammed into 90 minutes and although I enjoyed it I felt it was nowhere near as good as the original.

Some poor acting and some very poor editing to get this film inside a 90 minute movie.

Whilst we're at it, Schindler's List came out in 1993 (94 UK release), not in 2010...
