What's wrong with Rotten Tomatoes?
Why 19% RT?
shareI assume because it's a terrible movie? It looks awful.

Terrible movie? Terrible trilogy all together? That's probably it
shareThe last 2 sucked, but the first one was one of the best straight forward action films the last 20 years running. If you didn't enjoy that film....well, just stay away from action films as they simply don't get much better than that.
Still Shooting With Film!
What trilogy? It will be a tetrolgy when Taken 4 comes out. The origin of a particular set of skills.
I'm sorry the Coen brothers don't direct the porn I watch. They're hard to get ahold of, okay?
ok the first taken was really good the rest are so bad
sharewrong the first taken was a really good action movie
shareProbably because the movie sucks.

shareI would say the original Taken (2009) is underrated on RT with 58%. It deserves more positive critic reviews. At least 80%. An original, hardcore thriller.
Taken 3 though rightly deserves the 19% (Now 13&) rating on RT.
A disgrace to the franchise and downright playing with the audience's expectations which were created with the original.
Olivier Megaton and Luc Besson are making fools out of the audience with this one, delivering absolutely nothing what the original promised.
Agreed. The original was one of the best action films I have seen in a very long time. I would definitely give it an 8/10. a 58% is a ridiculous score for the first film.

8/10?? Really? When you score it like that, I'm thinking that 5 is average, right in the middle of the worst and the best. So giving it 8 implies you think it could have done some (close to a lot) of things better, added or edited/improved. But when you then consider it's genre, what it tried to do and what it did, I really don't see any why it shouldn't get 10. And of course the times it was produced in has to be taken into account (no pun intended).
Also why I gave this 7 (above average), it was enjoyable, but I felt the script lacked stuff, the plot reminded me of the 80's invincible action heroes, which Taken never really were and it was visually worse than the others.
The second one had the visual, but the story felt like they had to make a sequel, but also enjoyable, but still a 7 since it was less interesting.
I thought it was great in Tajen 1 how he fired heroin addiction in like what 24 hours? That was a great set of skills.

share11% Now lol, terrible film.
shareI guess Rotten Tomatoes bases their ranking in how good the plot was, or how real it seemed. And I find that to be stupid, this is an action movie, it is not supposed to have a good plot, it only has to has cool action scenes that's all. Also we all know this is a movie, so saying it wasn't that real, this can't happen in the real life is way too stupid, since only documentaries are supposed to do that. IMO
