Cockneys vs Zombies (2012)
The Walking Dead meets Lock Stock
There's Cockneys and there's Zombies. What's not to love? I'm a bit bored of typical American Zombie shows and films and this brings it right back to London. Funny and wacky, Win! 3/5
The Expendables 2 (2012)
"If I don't get her back, your ass is terminated!"
Loved it, Action, Cheese, Adventure, A great cast and a simple story! I wonder how many people died in the film? It's mental!
Taken 2 (2012)
"I will find you."
"I will kill you."
Apparently nobody told Liam Neeson that he'd already done that in the first film.
Because here we go again.
This time, the families of the gangsters from *Taken* have decided they'd quite like a bit of revenge. Which, to be fair, is understandable. Liam Neeson did spend most of the first film systematically working his way through their entire workforce.
Their plan?
Kidnap his family.
Again.
If you've seen the first film, you'll know exactly how well that goes.
The plot is wonderfully simple. Bad guys want revenge. Liam Neeson wants his family back. Anyone unfortunate enough to stand between those two objectives is probably not making it to the end credits.
And honestly?
That's exactly why it works.
Nobody watches a Taken film expecting a deep character study or a complex political thriller. We watch because Liam Neeson has a very particular set of skills and we're about to see those skills applied to an alarming number of people.
The man spends the entire film operating like an angry GPS.
Locate family.
Eliminate obstacles.
Repeat.
What I love about Taken 2 is that it doesn't overcomplicate things. It knows exactly what it is and gets on with the job. The action is relentless, Neeson remains an absolute badass and the body count rises at a rate that would make most action heroes uncomfortable.
By the end, I genuinely wasn't sure if there were any bad guys left.
I think he killed everyone.
Awesome.
At this point, I'm convinced Liam Neeson could have solved half the problems in the Marvel Universe before the opening credits finished rolling.
The Avengers missed a trick.
5/5
Prometheus (2012)
It's been a while since I've watched a film let alone reviewed one. I thought that Prometheus was a good film to start it off.
Since Prometheus was announced I've had no real desire to watch it, I mean I knew I will watch it but just not fussed about seeing it in the cinema as I'm not really a huge fan of Ridley Scott (I've never seen Aliens).
The film is well creepy! The humanoid aliens are awesome and the story is alright. It's a good film but not really my cup of tea.
I loved Idris Elba even with his dodgy American accent! 4/5
