Oh thanks Fox for ruining another film. TAKEN

[CelticPredator]

Is now PG-13. Shame...I was really looking forward to this hardcore film, which was said to have the most brutal kills of the year. Goddamnit.

 

[Octoberist]

are you serious? they actually cut the film?

 

[CelticPredator]

Well unless the most violent and brutal film of the year was nothing more then a PG-13...then yes.

 

[dude stannis]

I've seen it and it's definitely been cut.

 

[JP]

Aw, I was looking forward to this.

 

[AlteredEgo]

wow, i don't usually like to jump on the fox hate bandwagon, but damn, ive seen TAKEN, and pretty much the entire point of the movie is it's brutality.

 

[Octoberist]

why would they cut this? in their heads, did they think that a movie like Taken will attract the young teen crowd? I'm sorry - I just don't understand this and I'm wondering why the director is so quiet on the matter.

 

[Octoberist]

and this is not the first time Fox has 'chop' up a film too. Why don't they learn? Look at the Weinsteins and how they are suffering with their business practices after Miramax; now they are learning their lesson. Why cant Fox?

 

[OctaviusINC]

Damn. I'm really looking forward to this movie. Hopefully this won't take too much away from it. Let's hope they release the original cut on DVD.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

So it wasn't originally going to be PG13?

 

[dude stannis]

So it wasn't originally going to be PG13?

Interesting question. But by how horrendously obvious the cuts are, probably not.

 

[nightwing06]

Oh come on are they kidding ?? The watered down version will definitely suck

 

[dark_b]

are we talking about the Liam neeson movie? i saw this weeks ago.


aha its in america now right?

 

[JaD]

Is there any article describing the change, and maybe their "reason" for doing so?

 

[dark_b]

i think the editing was a directors choice. its meant to look like that.

i wont lie to you the story is 100% simple and Neeson is just playing a badass motherf.....
the movie looks like an empty badass movie but i thought that this is what it was meant to be.

please dont tell me i will have to watch it again.......GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

[Ace of Knaves]

What so they have cut the DVD? What is the frickin point of that?

 

[dude stannis]

i think the editing was a directors choice. its meant to look like that.

Doubt it. The cuts where way to abrupt and only occured in the gunfights.

 

[terry78]

You know why they changed it. Maggie Grace is in it. And who is her fan base?

 

[Sam Fisher]

I hate it when people whine and complain that "this movie got this rating and this movie got that rating and that movie is goiing to suck because it has that rating".

 

[Rac]

I'm glad I downloaded this months ago, because we too in Finland go the cut version in theaters, thanks to Fox.

Movie's kickass. DL the uncut.

 

[FaT_tONle]

I don't remember the film being THAT brutal... you could easily cut some stuff here and there. I am just glad to have seen the original one.

 

[Sam Fisher]

^Or you could get it the legal way, the way you're supposed to

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

you are only getting that film now?


a great film but wasn't overly violent, though any violence was realistic

 

[Rac]

^Or you could get it the legal way, the way you're supposed to

Ohoho, of course. Once they release a nice digipak, I'll buy. I'm talking to you Asians! They (mostly South Korea and Thailand) seem to release pretty cool digipaks nowdays.
