WANTED reveiw

[asleep at the comp]

Ok so wanted is all about a group of assassins called the ferturnity (who think if they kill one they could stop a ripple effect that might effect a thousand. anyway this is just one of the star of the summer block busters but i think i should brush all the wall E dust off it cause no one in my town went to see it execpt me and my friends. but yes this movie is great the Cg is awsome and yes this movie will make you jump up and down in the theater.

ok so i guess i have to start talking about the movie well.. what is there to talk about for me other then i loved it hands down. although i hate ms. Jolie (or whatever) but Morgan Freeman is the only reason i wanted to see this i think he plays the awsomest (my word) role in the movie and brings jokes that do not ruin it. now the movie is very fast you have to listen or watch and go nice when the bullets bounce off each other, which in my view gave me the feeling of playing or watching devil may cry 4 as seeing as how when you shoot Dante he shoots back. Also i liked cross i thought he was a good bad guy until around the middle....when he dies, but i could rant on about how awsome i thought it was or at least until you see it so i am trying to put as much detail into it. Their is a giant shoot out that made me want to bounce up and down in pure energy cause it is awsome.

there are alot of bad things about this movie to like for instance the camera it must hate this movie cause i thought it was jumping all over the screen in my view and that their is a training montage but i liked the joke at the end of it. Also i thought they used a bit to much Cg and it made me feel like watching the hulk or the incredible hulk.

but over all this was a decent movie for June while July has Hancock, Hellboy 2 and the Dark knight.

so if i was to rate it i feel like giving it a.... wait for it to come out on dvd or not i really don't know what to tell you sorry if this is a short review but it just, my frist time and very fast, you have to watch and enjoy.

Well, I just came home from this movie, and I didn't care for it. Also, I thought Jolie was actually rather good (I've hated her in most movies, so I was surprised) and Freeman extremely wooden. Generally, it was a poor film with bad flow and phenomenal plot holes. I sort of want to read the comic book because I imagine it to be more fulfilling. I have many complaints, they're spoiler-tastic, so I'll stay quiet. For now.

You might want to read your own review before you post it. Or at least spell-check it. We can get pretty harsh on people here.

that was mostly incomprehensible.... all i gathered was that you liked it.

I didn't even know this movie existed...thanks... I suppose.

Your review jumps around a bit and is a tad bit brief. You can work on this for future reviews however.

Honestly man, read the comic book. It's amazing. The film absolutely buggered the plotline.

It's really tempting to write out a list of all the ridiculous differences between the book and the film but I wouldn't want to spoil it, but just an example - instead of a fraternity of assassins who kill for 'fate', in the comic book, it deals with a fraternity of supervillians who kill whoever the fuck they want.

Awesome.

The only comparison between the book and movie is that they have the same title. Otherwise it would be like comparing Tide; what I use to clean my clothes with to the tide; the natural occurrence on shores of water levels rising or falling.

Okay, one of my main gripes about this film is that the closest thing it has to a resemblance of the source material is that the main characters called Wesley. Thats about it. And let it just be said that I fucking loved the comic, it had this great campy aesthetic meshed with gritty shadows and such, and a fantastic moral ambivalence where every character is morally reprehensible in one way or another.

The film takes that away, so if I was giving it a numerical mark I'd knock off ten percent there and then. But, with all thats said and done, it's not as bad as it could have been. It's a film with some absolutely hilarious and spectacular stunt action that really has to be seen to be believed and McAvoy was right to describe the director as an "evil genius". In the words of Yahtzee, who cares about the plot, let's talk about the sexy violence. There are guns and lots of them, car chases, car flips and bullet time up the arse, so it's certainly entertaining visually if nothing else.

The plot is certainly plagued with little niggles and holes. The actor playing Cross certainly didn't look old enough for what he was meant to be and Fox's final bullet curve seems ridiculous. But as mentioned above, the plots really only there to be polite. It has its problems but nothing that really causes it to fall into incomprehensibility.

It's an action film and it has no qualms about that, and certainly doesn't pretend to be much else. It has a tounge in cheek humour to it at moments, and pushed the envelope in terms of stunts and CGI, which is something to at least give it some credit for. But ultimately, its an action film which you'll see once and only rewatch once every couple of years. Rent the DVD if you dont want to shell out full cost of a cinema ticket and I can't blame you if you do, but I don't think I'd end up buying it.

Well, I wouldn't completely agree. Up until the 'loom of fate' (seriously, what the fuck?) the film stays loosely true to the comic. After then though, it just pisses it up the wall.

But yeah, I fucking loved the comic too, has to be said though I really doubt the film could have been as brutal as the comic, otherwise the censors would be tearing it to shreds.

So mabye it's best they tore it to shreds themselves XD
