Is this better than The Equalizer?


Just curious if anybody who's seen this has also seen The Equalizer? I saw The Equalizer and seemed like a more brutal version of the Taken movies (no PG-13 there). I haven't seen Taken 3 yet.

Hell no!

Taken 3 is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

The Equalizer eats Taken 3 for breakfast!

However, I imagine how cool would be seeing Neeson playing The Equalizer. I hope he comes as the villain if a sequel gets made.

reply

Badly directed, very slow not clever story, advert for Audi and porch. His teeth are disgusting, silly in parts, not exciting, overall disappointed. As if he'd poision his own daughter so that she would go to the bog, simply leave a message on the yoghurt carton not poising it

reply

Disgusting teeth? Then I'm not gonna watch this one.

reply

No.

The Equalizer was a lot better,better in every way,script,acting,locations,music.
TAKEN 3 was fun but it is not very good.

reply

Yes & No.

Yes it's better then the Equalizer because they were parts in the Equalizer movie that was kind of boring, definitely a sleeper at times but overall the Equalizer was very good.

On the other hand, I didn't find one boring part in Taken 3.

No, because the Equalizer had a better script but overall Taken 3 is just a lot more fun like in one poster said.

Kind of undecided though, but if I was in the mood where I didn't want to get bored. I'd go with Taken 3.

Not a chance.

This coming from someone that loved the first Taken movie, but Taken 3, its just, it just not a fitting way to end the franchise.

They made Neeson seem older if thats possible :(

They didn't have to make Neeson 'seem' older...he is older.

reply

You're not following me. Yes Liam Neeson is older, but in the first two Taken movies, we never got a sense of how old he was, because we didn't have ridiculous scenes of an old guy running around the place.

In the first movie, his planning was such that he didn't need to sprint and jog anywhere, just the right amount of effort to get to the bad guys and sort them out, not run there, and show that Bryan Mills is actually an old guy that could probably get to the bad guys quicker with a fvcking wheelchair!

i like the TAKEN series but both THE EQUALIZER and especially JOHN WICK were far superior to TAKEN 3.

reply

I love all the Taken movies. But The Equalizer is far better.

reply

I'm still waiting for that Equalizer/Taken crossover. Just make sure it's the Equalizer director that does it.
