Hate hyperbole, but Taken 3 is worst action film of all time


And it is purely Megafail's fault. I have seen this yesterday and it is incredible how bad the directing and editing were. Story is nothing amazing either, but I can imagine it working in someone else's hands.
Megafail though ? That hack should never direct a movie again. Every single action scene incomprehensible and unenjoyable purely due to this hack.
Besson, please, never give him directing spot again. Please.

No. Expendables 3 was MUCH worse. But this wasn't very good either.

I also hate hyperbole, but "worst action film"? That's definitely hyperbole. Plenty of terrible and far worse ones out there.

Taken 3 film, ding, winner. WTF Award

Liam throughout my watching has...

Killed families and drivers on a motorway through accidents caused by him, gave his pregnant (inadvertently) daughter drugs to make her puke, knocked out a poor janitor at college and while in the college, threw a flash bang thingy into a cupboard terrifying students. Liam is now a terrorist.

Sure these were all done to escape the law and find the culprit. Exactly how many of these actions brought him closer to the killer? None. It was all for a hug scene.

Meanwhile families mourn.

I can agree with winner of WTF Award. A great first film was totally screwed over a terrible director in the sequels.

This is what I thought as well. Mills destroyed a lot of property and may have killed people and cops in accidents and none of that is brought up nor is there any punishment mentioned for it. They let it all go. This movie had an interesting premise going for it but terrible implementation of ideas with a terrible editing job and direction job make for a rather forgettable film that was slightly better than the more awful and forgetting Taken 2.

Clearly you have never seen Ecks vs. Sever, Battlefield Earth, Nightflyers, Waterworld, the remade Total Recall, Gamer, Alien Resurrection.... count your blessings if this is what you consider the worst you've seen.

How dare you talk ill of Waterworld!



No f@cking sh`t lady does it sound like I'm ordering a pizza!

I loved the original Taken.
Taken2 was a step down
This was another step down.

They got 3 movies out of 1 and made some money.
and we got to see the characters 3 times.

I have no interest in even trying to see another one.

reply

Yeah why do they keep thinking that they can make each movie less about it whats supposed to be about. Someone getting TAKEN. We wait till the last 15 minutes before that happens and it feels really weak. I mean a twist no one was really doubting would happen, and a bunch of meandering around for the first 3/4's with lots of innocent cops getting beaten, children scared, and car accidents killing civilians which goes no where. AND he gets away scott free for causing so much mayhem... yeah I don't think so. Idiots will think this movie is realistic while the rest of us wonder why it was made. I mean they even made almost zero use of Famke Jannsen, one of the hottest and underrated actresses out there.

This wasn't even the worse film in its own series, let alone of all time.

Taken 2 was horrible. Taken 3 was decent in principle but didn't quite have the same impact the first one had, Lenore's death was very tame.

This sums up exactly how I feel about it.

Oh, and I'm fairly sure Mills didn't know Kim was pregnant when he gave her the ipecac, or whatever it was.

Definitely the worst I've seen recently though there are worse I can think of. But this was just terrible.

Took me a while to get to it and watch it considering it is almost 2015 but man ohhh man was it worth waiting for??!?! Pfffff! *beep* no! One of the worst movies i have watched this year easy.I loved Taken kind of liked Taken 2 although you could notice the `money grabs` syndrome in it but Taken 3 just knocked me off my bed. I am ok with action movies not making a lot of sense but some moments in Taken 3 were just retarded examples (SPOILERS!!!) So our `hero` attacks cops with some of his friends creates havoc on the motorway hurting or maybe even killing in the process (certainly making a lot of dmg) then he steals information from the cops steals a car of theirs Kills 5-6 Russian mobsters or whatever kidnaps the `bad guy` waterboards him destroys a plane and god knows what else and at the end the police `detective` is like `yeah... i knew all along you are innocent because of the beagles(or whatever) and although i can arrest you about hacking us and stealing some of our info... i am goanna let u go coz u are cool and what not!` and our guy is like `well the bad guy told me some bs so i had to do what i had to do and stole some *beep* hacked some *beep* committed numerous acts of violence killed created panic on a couple of occasions and even handcuffs those shucks of your you call colleges but hey it all worked out at the end! So we cool?` Police `detective` `yeah we are cool!!! But don`t leave town! I might have to ask u a few questions... maybe` What the *beep* were you thinking when you were writing this script??!? This *beep* makes no sense at all! You can`t just make our `hero` admit to the cops what he did without a lawyer and then let him go! *beep* atleast the `villain` killed 1 person his wife while our `hero` killed atleast 4-5 ppl that we are absolutely certain of! Who wrote this *beep*
Ohh and the gun scenes! Lol rly! So some spec soldier has an automatic weapon with considerable amount of bullets and he can`t hit me once while i `run` in a confined space for about 20 meters... Ok bro some spec soldier you are. And next time when u are fighting PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PUT A *beep* SHIRT AND JEANS ON YOU ARE EMBARRASSING YOURSELF!!!! DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT FIGHT IN YOUR *beep* UNDERWEAR NOONE WANTS TO SEE THAT !!! *beep*
And one last bit i promise... so i fight the bad guys i have a jump i win against 5 armed me cool cool i mean it could happen if you know they are all unconcess but whatever so i fight them win and then i am like `Naaaah i don`t need this sweet m16! Nope! I am gonna use my gun cuz you know its better.. yeah well i could get he shotgun but naaah i better not otherwise this `battle` with the hitment will end in an instant... i mean i am killing ppl left and right unarmed and with a pistol can u imagine what will happen if i get an actual gun or shotgun! Damn they will have to send a whole carrier after my ass filled with f16 and *beep* and even then i will probably take all of them down.... naah better stick with a gun... Yup thats how i roll!

*double facepalm* it was painful to watch on some places guys if u need help please just ask but don`t ... don`t embarace yourselfs like that >.<

"Taken 3 is worst action film of all time"

Based on this statement I would assume you have not seen very many action films.
