One of Simon's roles is to stop Mark when he starts down the rabbit hole of obscure referencing... the comic strip "Presents Strike" WTF??! Thank you, Simon
Not obscure if you are a UK resident. By the way, it's The Comic Strip Presents: "Strike", a skit on the UK miners' strikes of the early 80's. You may perhaps have heard of Maggie Thatcher. Jennifer Saunders is brilliant doing Meryl Streep's take on Thatcher.
Andy Ball Don't want to sound pedantic (which I will) but she didn't play Thatcher in strike but Al Pacino's (Scrargil's) wife. She play's Thatcher in the 'follow up movie' about the GLC. Robbie Coltrane plays Charles Bronson, playing Ken Livingstone, if you get my drift.
2.20 It was an episode of Harry Enfield and Chums and the skit was called Badfellers. If its filmed for 15, show it at 15-Taken 3 and Expendables 3 why!
Much better than 2 but not in the same ball park as 1. I went with zero expectations so I couldn't really be disappointed. It would be an ok film to catch on TV on a Friday night but don't go out of your way to watch it at the cinema unless you really want to!
mark kermode reads far to much in films...taken 3 is what it is a popcorn action movie, it,s not oscar material i sometimes think kermode says what he says just to justify his job. people won,t be forced to go and watch it . all i know is it will make more money and entertain more people than the next movie kermode likes... looking forward to the ( harder version ) on bluray....
so because it's a "popcorn action movie" it should be exempt from criticism? there's good and bad movies within that particular subgenre too you know...
maniq minah i,ve got no problem with critic,s... it,s kermode..if pacific rim had been directed by micheal bay (the exact same movie as on screen )kermode would have slaughtered it, but because it,s one of his fave directors he finds good in it...pacific rim was a popcorn movie treat it like so, same as taken 3....
Brainless acting, lifeless action, questionable editing & poor direction makes this sequel an unnecessary sequel that’s as same as its predecessor. (11%) (1/5 stars) (negative)
"do you recall..." "almost certainly not."
fine work gents
Taken 4: Granted
No it’s T4KEN : for Gr4nted 😂😭
Oooooh. Nice
It should be called “Taken: Money”
I watched Taken 3 on a plane and it's the only time I've ever slept during a flight.
Who knew Mark can do impressions?
You obviously haven't seen his Danny Dyer, then
T4KEN: It's not over yet.
Rory Lennon that’s very funny. Well down.
"Utter porridge of a movie."

Andy Ball
'Strike' was brilliant. Thanks for the reminder.
Andy Ball Don't want to sound pedantic (which I will) but she didn't play Thatcher in strike but Al Pacino's (Scrargil's) wife. She play's Thatcher in the 'follow up movie' about the GLC. Robbie Coltrane plays Charles Bronson, playing Ken Livingstone, if you get my drift.
I stand corrected! Only obscure to a Canadian.
they should just reboot with sequels. call it GIVEN
Good idea, GIVEN is supposed to be better than TAKEN.
Kermode is my go-to reviewer when i want to hear another point of view
Laughed so hard at this lol
Liam Neeson cashing in the cheques.
I was excited for taken 3 only to hear Kermode's review
2.20 It was an episode of Harry Enfield and Chums and the skit was called Badfellers. If its filmed for 15, show it at 15-Taken 3 and Expendables 3 why!
cheers for that bit of info, didn't sound like something fast show would do as a sketch...
maniq minah Thanks.
Oliver Atkinson I agree. I think Mayo is supposed to be his stooge and annoy mark but that guy on news 24's show works with Kermode a lot better.
Gordon Heaney Yeah hands up. I realised it after I typed it but forgot to change it!
Brilliant review, what a fun and insightful film critic he is.
Tekken 2 was the best. Can still remember how pull off Armor King's ten-hit combo
Why did Mark review Taken 3 but not John Wick?
There was a 2? But... why?
To take back Hoover Dam from the NCR!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
It wasn't as bad as I was expecting! Definitely better than Taken 2!

Taken 3?!?!?
1:42 - 1:49
2:18 - 2:22
lmao
Three cheers for dignity!
wonderful
Taken 3: The Takening
Taken 3 not taken.... a bit like kermode uncut being cut... it's not streamed live
Taken 3
When your money is taken
Mark: do you remember.......um......
simon: of course not!
Kaching...-Yeah exactly, kaching.
Do you remember?...-Almost certainly not...
so funny
Kermode is the man
"You F my wife?" Isn't that an Eddie Izzard bit?
I'm watching it just to compare Mark's review 😁
Wasn't Fast Show Mark, it was Harry Enfield.
Who's driving the cars?
If you don't mind subtitles then you should watch 'a man from nowhere'. Far better Korean version of taken
Maybe because his wife's life was....Taken?
Only reason why the name still holds, in my opinion.
True say!
Taken 3 : The Search for more money
😂
Elasticated?
Ah Taken 3 review. 5 minutes long. I feel a justified rant coming on!
I thought Taken 2 was a 12 as well, no?
Taken 3: Taken the mickey. lol
I can't count passed 1
Taken 3: Taking the Mickey
change name to takings
Taken 3 = Fugitive remake...!
Mark didn't take to Taken. =)
how is this not spoilers?
TAKEN 3 has a flat plot and its overly stretched for a TAKEN sequel.
January...the movie graveyard
Taken me home, this film is flump
Do you remember that? ... No! XD
Thanks thats made up.my.mind I will go see Theory of Everything instead :)
Taken the... micky
Terrible but it is no Taken 2.
Mayo truly is useless in these discussions.
It's not a discussion he's being a moderator. He occasionally moderates Kermodes verbal squirting
I respectfully disagree and thoroughly love the Taken films, including this one which I watched yesterday
Wayne Briggs I think you must have had a seizure from the editing and imagined watching a good film
I wish my channel got this many views.
mark kermode reads far to much in films...taken 3 is what it is a popcorn action movie, it,s not oscar material i sometimes think kermode says what he says just to justify his job. people won,t be forced to go and watch it . all i know is it will make more money and entertain more people than the next movie kermode likes... looking forward to the ( harder version ) on bluray....
