Really didn't know what to except, but it had me on the edge of my seat once Angelina Jolie made an appearance. It is well worth watching and I will probably add it to my video collection.

This Matrix/ Fight Club wannabe film is a disgrace to the acting Careers of Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie. They always say, that even great actors have at least one bad film, in this case it was 3. The reasons they chose to star in this Unwanted piece of garbage is beyond me. It really shows that even actors of their caliber are suffering from this recession. The first 5 minutes of acting is truly unbearable. And James Mcavoy's novice acting skills reminds me of D rated films. The Last King of Scotland was a great film and led me to believe Wanted would be a great film as well. However, this film was a huge drop-off and resembled nothing of his best supporting actor nominee. The potential of this movie peaks your interests, the idea of "bending bullets" is cool at first. However, they take the idea, kill it, bury it, resurrect it, kill it again, and repeat the process dozens of times throughout the film. And just when you thought it could'nt get any worse, peanut butter filled rats become the weapon of choice.Why bend bullets if you can have exploding rats. This movie was a HUGE waste of time.

The whole premise that some ninja move could redirect the trajectory of a bullet is so ridulous. When James McAvoy tells off his fat boss, the whole scene is so predictably pedestrian, pretentious, stereotype bad boss being finally told off by repressed wimpy, no life employee garbage. Like no one else could make up a scenario like this, much less a highly paid screenwriter.
We're also supposed to believe that this "hero", just because he is the biological son of the greatest assassin of all time, can, with a few lessons, also learn to make bullet do 90 degeree turns, and without any lessons, shoot the wings off flies. How can he learn so quickly, it's in the genes of course, but shooting the wings off flies is just natural already.
Bunk! Even Angelina is beginning to look a little strained with her good looks. Like there's maybe a little botox going on. "Girl Interrupted", was not the best film of all time, but at least the people in that movie seemed real, with earnest performances, and no botox going on. Jolie was sexier in that movie, and a great performance.
This, on the other hand, is total garbage. Was this review helpful? Sign In 0 out of 0 users found this helpful awesomegreat movie!

Sign In 0 out of 0 users found this helpful To Shoot, to Kill, to Die!Posted: 8/30/2008A review of Wanted by John_Q_Cineplex I went into this movie with low expectations, but I must say that I enjoyed it immensely. Sure the stunts are ridiculous, but the first sequence is pure adrenaline! What really sets Wanted apart, though, are its story and themes. I have never read the graphic novel, but now I have to check it out. I'm glad I took a chance on this one. Was this review helpful? Sign In 0 out of 0 users found this helpful See for Yourself!Posted: 8/2/2008A review of Wanted by _SURPRISED_ I thought the Tomb Raiders showed Angelina's abilities to do action movies but this one is even better. It's action packed, just what the ticket promised...an action movie! I do not normally like action movies but I was glad that someone talked me into going. I liked the plot and the twist added to the movie. If you enjoy the Mission Impossibles, you will like this one! Was this review helpful?

I loved the comedic parts as well. The plot twist towards the end was cool. I thought Jason, the male lead, was very good. Angelina didn't have to do much acting but I enjoyed her performance.

Sign In 0 out of 0 users found this helpful Oh, come on!Posted: 7/26/2008A review of Wanted by fromPluto-toEarth I have no idea why everybody here is talking only about Aagelina Jolie - she's not THAT curious to look at her corrected face every third second!
James McAvoy was cute - actually the only thing this movie got that lonely star from me - was his perfect acting. I really loved the views of his ordinary life - his girlfriend, his best friend, his manager... That beautifu the scene when he talked to the manager and then broke a tooth to his best friend with a keyboard. To the universe surprise - this is, in my opinion, the best scene - and also I liked how his friend called him "The Man" every time. If there were no all those moments - I would throw up after 5 mins.
What about all the rest... That's simply absurd. I don't mind that bullets fly in circles - but for the final scene when it passes 6 people - for it would work they all must be at least the same height, and stand still in an ideal circle... Curious: how much circles the bullet drew after Angelina fell? They should show the bullet continue flying in circles - at least it would be funny...
The binar code in 13th century? They saw in a binar code the full name of a target to be killed?! And why it never said "AAAAbLSSASDF SDF SRRR"? Why it always said real names? And sometimes even nicknames like "Sloan"? And how the hell Wasley Gibson recognized "Sloan" on the textile? Oh, I didn't know he is an expert in ancient binar codes! It would be funny if the textile would show "Thomas Smith". Perhaps there are 50 000 Thomases Smiths in America - even a thousand exploding rats won't kill them all.
Oh, how sweet the story of the childhood described: when she began the story, I knew how it's going to look like: a poor-looking girl, Christmas eve, a freak killer burning a super-moralistic-judge (perhaps, he was the last in the whole America), and of course she must "accidently" show Wesley the scar. Oh, what a deep story - it would make me cry if I wouldn't laugh already.
I liked the sentence "Kill one and MAY... Was this review helpful? Sign In 0 out of 0 users found this helpful Awful MovieThey did a good job with showing the previews to atrack viewrs. As good as Jolie was in Mr & Mrs Smith, she isn't all that great in this one. She should really gain some weight too. Was this review helpful?

Sign In 0 out of 0 users found this helpful  Torture Porn Lite - Just For FunI left this film shaking my head in disgust at the corrupt and ethically-bankrupt sewer that Hollywood has become. I knew I was going to a violent action film, I knew it was about assassins - but did not pay to have my face rubbed in corpses of little old ladies impaled on meat hooks and used as firing range targets; in geysers of blood, brains and gore spurting in extreme close-up and slo-mo from the craniums of Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie, and 48 for 50 minor others, then repeated in reverse.
Hollywood is sick. It is so devoid of able writers that it serves up buckets of gratuitous, graphic gore and human atrocities to nauseate Josef Mengele, so as to fill that gaping void where a coherent story and, more importantly, a civilized code of ethics ought to be.
In yet another of Hollywood's weird adolescent cries for help, this film too is packed with gratuitous, Beavis & Butthead-caliber profanty between every fourth or fifth word of dialog. Or maybe these "writers" assume the audience is just as juvenile as they?
On the plus side, there were some excellent action sequences and enjoyable spectacle - the train derailment sequence and the car chases managed to be original.
Unfortunately, along with the wall-to-wall human butchery and pottymouth dialog, the story never rose above sloppy. The intrigue of a "secret order" was quickly abandoned as a mere detail of setting; the "Loom of Fate" apparently ran itself, since no explanation was given as to who or what set it in motion; the actors almost to a one were mere foils for extravagant and, again, atrocious visuals.
I won't even bother to go into the contemptible "Sling Blade" ethic of "Murder is A-OK if you have a good reason." Suffice it to stand as a stark reminder of where Hollywood's proctological worldview has taken it.
Bottom line: "Wanted" is a film that left me feeling in equal parts annoyance, disappointment, and an overpowering desire to go home and wash. Was this review helpful? Sign In 0 out of 0 users found this helpful DUMB!!!!Wow... 5 stars??? Really???? What movie were you watching??? I would give it negative stars if there were such an option! This movie had no plot, no basis, no intelligble plan of events... the most ridiculously thought up premise and action ever! I failed to see how "bending bullets" is cool, or even remotely possible, or how our super high adrenaline can make us jump the span of a football field in a single bound, or how if we have such cool gifts as high anxiety/faster heart beat, that we can flip a car over on the air at our own leisure...
Mindless violence, ridiculous action sequences, and no story give this movie a rating of -20 on a scale of 1-10! Don't waist you money!
I wish I could say there was a redeeming quality... I guess that the soundtrack was okay! I did like the nine in nails song they play!
Oh and exploding rats!!! Ingenious!!! NOT!!! What a stupid flick!!! Was this review helpful? Sign In | ||
