Taken 1 was very improbable but also very entertaining if truth be told.

Of course it was improbably, most movies today are.

But it's all about entertainment.

What people say, what people do, very improbable things shown in films of today, mostly the events taking place and the resolution takes much longer than 90 minutes (weeks, months etc), but they do what they have to do within the limited time.

Yes maybe you should just watch "A Cut Above" instead.

Much like almost every other movie out there where they suddenly are able get on a plane and travel somewhere.  They get these guns and shoot up everything in sight.  Car accident where there walk away just rubbing their neck....

Perhaps you like the realism of something like "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"?

Can't hope to equal the X factor greatness of the first, but I'll be in the theatre, regardless.

Sounds like you are referring to me.   ;D
The first one was fun (though I'm surprised to see it made enough money to generate a sequel).  I saw it on Netflix and will enjoy this one on Netflix too.
If you notice that there is a growing trend of the Jason Bourne "Every day" or "Ordinary Man" hero. The guy who could be anyone of us---who melts in the crowd, but has "training" and "certain skillsets" that make him "incredibly dangerous" to those who push his buttons.

I kinda thought that this flew under the radar, and then he had other film where he had amnesia and again he was a government "Operative".
Liam is almost cornering the market on the middle age "Old Man" Bourne market.

Ya 100% agree, no matter what can't match the first 1. In part one the most important part of the movie was the phone threat or rather his predictions and then him following trough with it, I see they in the trailer they tried to emphasize him talking on the phone in part two, but really won't have the same impact. Nevertheless of course I am watching it.
