What was your reaction/opinion of the text?

I really enjoyed the film as I have seen the first one a lot and really enjoyed it. I was expecting it to be a let down because of how good the first one was but it was just as good as the first, if not better. Liam Neeson is the main star in the film and I really enjoy his acting. The film was very attention grabbing and transformed you into the film within the first 2 minutes. It had a different idea than the first yet it was still very similar which made it very enjoyable and understandable. The acting throughout by all of the actors was un-faultable. And the camera tricks and special effects where a lot better than the first- The car chase seen was my favourite because it had you on the edge of your seat and kept you involved right until the end of the film. 

Why would people consume the text?

For entertainment, escapism

Could some people react in different to the text? How?

Yeah some people may not like it because they could think that the first one was better and therefore have too much of a high expectation for the second film. Also they could think it was too similar.
