Review: The premise is interesting, and I feel, fairly well carried out although I would have liked the movie to go another 15 or so minutes to really build the suspense more, I blame sloppy Direction for that. The actors all acquitted themselves well, but I am getting a little weary at Mario Bello turning up all over the place as everyones mother. I have never forgiven her for her painful portrayal of Evie O Connell in Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, her accent was like fingernails down a blackboard, that was a criminal piece of miscasting. Moving along, I think any problems with this movie lay completely in the lap of the directionless Director and Writers who should have kept the script tighter.
There was plenty of action, there was just more time spent on inconsequentials than background to the story. I gave it 8 stars which is generous, normally I would have give a movie of this quality a 7, but it needs a boost from the 3 stars its currently sitting on. I actually think the cause of the resistance is in no small part because Taylor Lautner is in it. And not because he isn’t any good, it’s the Twilight cringe factor. I will be very pleased when the whole Twilight franchise is over and buried so we can all forget it and judge the actors and their future roles on their own merits. It was fun at first, but now it is just old. If Taylor Lautner can keep getting parts like this and do them as well as he did this one (those kicks were impressive) I am sure he will be making movies into his 30s at least. If only he were taller! As for Lily Collins, I am now looking forward to seeing her in Mortal Instruments, I just hope someone does something about those ghastly thick eyebrows of hers, they are disturbing, and worse than that, distracting.
I agree with you on Abduction – the first half hour of it was great, actually. tailed off a bit towards end but still a way better film than it should have been
The film Abduction is worth it to watch. the movie is so cool.
I didn’t find it to long, it was at times a little too knowing and even self indulgent but I guess a film like that has to be! It makes my top ten of the year so far. Lets see if it stays there!
Abduction combines parts of Pocahontas and Braveheart which has a liberal dose of Room Marines into an epic complete that requires virtually 3 complete hours to unfold. We could criticise that length, the weak story as well as hammy dialogue. We could attack its thinly-veiled ecological message or even the frankly bizarre spirituality in its second 50 % but honestly absolutely nothing can spoil the expertise even though that youre enveloped in it. Plus a substantial portion of which is down on the brilliant use of 3D – which can be both subtle and u nbelievably valu able. Til now, we are actually having films with 3D factors, Avatar is a very first certainly 3D movie and may possibly properly prove for being only one on the most important points to occur to blockbuster film-making as Abduction.
The two great things about Abduction are the feel and the acting. When I say feel I am referring to everything from the costumes and makeup all the way to the photography combining to capture the look of the time perfectly. The soundtrack is also pretty good too as you would expect!
The film Abduction is worth it to see. the Abduction is so great. It’s a strangely paced flick and suffers at times from very long exposition and poorly contrived story lines that seem to be added to no doubt develop the storyline rather than the Abduction story that I wanted to see.
This movie was absolutely phenomenal. Already seen it three times. Loved the comics and this was the most satisfying adaptation I’ve ever seen mixed with the directors personal charm and tweaks. Abduction was just sweet to watch and so fun to be a part of as an audience. LOVED IT.

Abduction is a genuinely great movie– disappointing summer aside. It’s more refreshing, perhaps, due to the fact that this season has been so lacking, but Abduction easily deserves praise all on its own merits rather than by lack of good competition.

The video is worth it to see. the motion picture is so phenomenal. It’s a strangely paced flick and suffers at times from incredibly long exposition and poorly unnatural story lines that seem to be added to no doubt cultivate the storyline rather than the movie story that I wanted to see.
Abduction combines parts of Pocahontas and Braveheart having a liberal dose of Room Marines into an epic entire that requires just about 3 complete hours to unfold. We could criticise that length, the weak story along with the hammy dialogue. We could attack its thinly-veiled ecological message or even the frankly bizarre spirituality in its second 50 % but honestly practically nothing can spoil the expertise when youre enveloped in it. Plus a significant element of that is definitely down into the brilliant use of 3D – which can be both subtle and astonishingly powerful. Til now, we are already having films with 3D components, Avatar is definitely the earliest actually 3D movie and may possibly nicely prove to always be single to the most major factors to come about to blockbuster film-making seeing that Abduction.

I thought Abduction was interesting, it was a new type of comedy movie, and a smart one as well. After that it all went downhill. I saw 3 movies too many. Now I refuse to even watch this movie again, but, apparently there are still people out there that can enjoy a movie like this and I am glad they can.
