Taken 3

Taken 3 is a action thriller film directed by Olivier Megaton . It is the third and hopefully final installment in the Taken trilogy. The film stars Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace, Famke Janssen and Forest Whitaker.

Saying taken 3 is better than the last one does not mean much because Taken 2 was not a nice movie, it didn't stand as a individual movie at all. Maybe if you watch 1 and 2 together you can enjoy it otherwise, it was just horrid.

 

Taken 3 tried to reinvent the franchise by doing something different from the previous ones but in turn they made the movie which has been made several times, husband framed for the murder of his wife and he is on the run,  there was atleast something original about the 1st one.

Action movie should always be rated R, it doesn't make sense if a guy is not bleeding after getting shot, to be honest I was confused several times if a guy is dead or not. Watching bullet holes is alright for a kid but watching blood is not, how is one better than the another I can't understand this, the rating system is clearly broken.

Liam Neeson is basically Zeus from the Clash of Titan series, you just can't kill him, there were few scenes where he should have died like blown to pieces but in the next scene he is running again without any explanation because he has a set of skills.

Forest Whitaker is playing the cop who is after Liam, it felt like the writers put some extra thought to his character than what was required. He was fondling with rubber bands while thinking, playing with a chess piece, he looked like a guy with issues more than a detective.

This movie is less violent and it felt more like a spy movie than the other two, which might not work for everyone. The twist in the end is so obvious, I am not sure if you can consider it even a twist, it was so much in the open.

This movie has good dialog, every word from Liam Neeson's mouth sound like music. He has one of the most intimidating voice in hollywood and that aspect is used effectively.

Exodus: Gods and Kings

It's difficult to separate fact and fiction, so I am not gonna hurt anyone's feeling and just treat Exodus Gods and Kings as a movie. Exodus told us the story of the Egyptian Empire and how they lived. It is not Ridley's best movie or his worst movie but it is a very much a Ridley Scott movie. Visually heavy, great actors, and great mythology.

Exodus: Gods and Kings is an epic historic film directed by Ridley Scott. It was written by Adam Cooper, Bill Collage, Jeffrey Caine and Steven Zaillian. The film stars Christian Bale as Moses, Joel Edgerton as Ramasis, John Turturro, Aaron Paul, Sigourney Weaver, and Ben Kingsley. Can somebody explain why there are so many while guys in Egypt though?

The love and hate relation of Ramasis and Moses is well defined and understandable, Rhamses gets conflicted about his bond with Moses with whom he grew up after a prophesy gives clue that Moses is suppose to become a leader and that is a Prince's worst nightmare.

This movie has an excellent cast but other than Christian Bale and Joel Edgerton no one really impressed me, honestly I hated Sigourney Weaver. Exodus is a long movie and it feels like one but the slow burn was required to make you feel the emotions. Few visuals of this movie reminded me of Gladiator which is a good thing, Gladiator is one of the best movie Ridley Scott ever made.

Visually this movie is beautiful and convincing enough to take you thousands of years into the past. Every time I see Pyramids it sent shivers down my spine. So looking Pyramids in their full glory was amazing for me in the beginning but later came the part where they showed how Slaves were tormented to get the Pyramids built.
