'Wanted' Getting good reviews

We saw this last night. We enjoyed it very much. This is an adult movie with lots of cussing and head asploding. Good dialog and great action. Nothing in this movie is realistic. It is a bunch of wow and wouldn't it be cool if you could do that. Go in with that expectation and you'll enjoy it.

This is also a movie in which the existence of email should invalidate the entire plot, but I got over it.
 
Saw it last night and it was ok. It is a fun movie. Don't take the kids though as it is very bloody and vulgar. But Angelina Jolie naked made it better.
 
I saw it last night with my 17-year old son.

If you like bullets intercepting bullets in mid air, curving bullets, exploding rats, knife and cleaver cuts of flesh, and Morgan Freeman as a bad dude, this should be your cup of tea.

If you do not have the suspension of disbelief supergene, you may want to wait until video release.
 
My band and I went to see this movie on the last day of our tour, and we thought it was absolutely horrible. The saving grace for me was that it was so bad it was funny, if you think of it as a similar movie to shoot em up it works, if you're looking for a good or even decent movie you will be highly dissapointed.

I will say Morgan Freeman's quote near the end of the movie was one of my favorite movie moments in a while, but once again I was laughing at it.
 
Mrs. Teasip63 and I saw it today and she hated it. I thought it was ok but unnecessarily vulgar and, of course, unreal. I thought the best part was in the early part of the movie where Jolie scoops up the "good" guy in her car while sliding towards him.

The movie had a neat twist that I did not see coming. But the movie seemed too long. Special effects were outstanding.
 
if you say the movie was too fake the please say that you hated spider man, Iron Man, Star Wars and every other fantasy/sci fi move

its not a documentary...its a complete fantasy world and has to be viewed as such

I really enjoyed it
 
I'm glad you brought this up. Not 'cause I agree with you...'cause I don't.

***SPOILERS BELOW***



















When the Fraternity contacts this kid they explain away his ability to shoot the wings off of flies and slow down his perception of real time by saying that his panic attacks are actually moments under stress where his heartrate elevates over 400 bpm due to very high levels of adrenaline....they kinda went to a lot of trouble to provide us with this semi-plausible, if not wholly believable explanation, but I can roll with it, and I appreciate the effort.

Then they go on to explain how bullets can be curved around objects at will by the shooter by simply saying "Suppose nobody had ever told you bullets fly straight".

Weak.

That's kinda where it got real thin for me.

As I stated before, I can suspend quite a bit of disbelief, but you gotta give me a reason to do it...you know, something to work with.
 
Gotta go with Mandingo, et al on this one. I give it a solid C, maybe even a C-.

This movie has elements of Fight Club, The Matrix, and V for Vendetta. It's also worse than all three of those movies, and by no small margin.

And yes, Jolie is too freaking thin here. She should have taken a break from curving bullets and speaking to the UN and eaten a hamburger.

Of course, I'm writing all of this with a smile and the full knowledge that somebody reading this will mysteriously get pissed off at my opinion here, but there it is.

SPOILER!









Peanut Butter and exploding rats? And nobody in the Fraternity carries a damn rocket for whacking a dumptruck? I was OK with this movie until this point, and then whatever it had fell apart entirely.
 
i still wholeheartedly disagree mandingo

its a complete fantasy movie and has to be taken as such

Claiming that it gave you something slightly plausible doesnt change that

in Iron Man they give you an explanation of how his heart survives...is it realistic, hell no, and then he builds a giant metal suit...give me a break

They say Gamma rays created the Hulk and created him, real explanation again

Its a fantasy movie just like the other ones, i dont see how it can be viewed as anything else
 
Thought it was good. Sure, there are plenty of plot holes but what fantasy movie doesn't have that.

And yes, Jolie was extremely thin in this movie and not in a good way. Her arms look skeleton thin.
 
What the **** have you done lately?

Finally saw it today. I liked it...no pretense at being realistic and excellent over the top scenarios and action scenes.
 
I just bought this for US$1.65 on a sidewalk near the Recoleta cemetery. It's not in theaters here yet, but I felt like seeing it. Sorry Angie, I hope you can still feed your kids.

As for all of those people much further down the pay-scale line than Angie, an actual semi-sincere "sorry". I wish there was a way for half of the money to be spread among you. Suerte in LA.
