Resonding: Taken and Returned for no Refund

So I got this review to my last post, so I thought I'd respond.

You are being completely biased and exaggerating. The action sequences were standard with any other action movie that has come out in the past 5 years. The story was not as predictable as you claim, yes we know how it starts and where it will end but the story of how it gets there is not what most expect. A movie tells a story from beginning to end, if you don't want to know the middle then don't see it and then waste our time with your bias review. And how can you claim that "Liam Neeson is not ... James Bond", comparing apples to oranges is something you should have learned not to do in primary school; Liam Neeson, actor... Jack Bauer, character... James Bond, character played by multiple actors; none should be compared to each other. And fix your spelling and grammar.

"You are being completely biased and exaggerating"
I’m not arguing here, I went into the movie not thrilled with its original premise (which I knew).

"The action sequences were standard with any other action movie that has come out in the past 5 years."
Again, I stated this in the post…so no argument from me here. Thanks for endorsing my point. The action in this movie was completely ‘standard’.

"The story was not as predictable as you claim, yes we know how it starts and where it will end but the story of how it gets there is not what most expect. A movie tells a story from beginning to end, if you don't want to know the middle then don't see it"
We differ here. Categorically knowing the end of a film MAKES it a BAD film. You don’t want to start a book already knowing the end. You don’t pick up Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and know that everything in the book is moving towards awarding Charlie the chocolate factory.

"And how can you claim that "Liam Neeson is not ... James Bond", comparing apples to oranges is something you should have learned not to do in primary school."
I’m sorry that I dumbed down my post so that it conflicted with your obviously high intellectual aptitude. I simply thought that brand names would be more recognizable than a series of actor’s names. Also, apples are red while oranges are orange; both are roundish: compared!

"And fix your spelling and grammar."
Stop being a bitch and hiding behind Anonymous comments.
