Wanted

If you go into this movie with realistic expectations you should not be dissappointed. The plot is pretty simple and very easy to follow. The actors are very good, Angela Jolie shows in this movie that she likes taking on roles that give her chance to do something besides be eye-candy. Morgan Freeman plays a role you dont see him play very often, and the supporting cast is good(Common is excellent). The action is great, the idea of curving a bullet is cool. BUT I couldnt help but think through the whole movie, this kind of movie has been done so many times, Im bored with it. You can take the F/X from this movie and you wont see anything that hasnt been done and in some cases done better in the last several years. I guess Im saying all this is, is recycled action movie, which if thats what youre looking for youll like. BUT if youre searching for something that you wont forget any time soon pass on this movie.

Sort of enjoyed the movie. The price for this was amazing, but I kind of wish I didnt buy it. I was just ordering a load of movies at the time.

Very easy to assemble. Don’t understand all the reviews to the contrary.

Wanted stars Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman, and James McAvoy. Its an action movie, with a plot revolving around a group of super-assassins. Its got action, all right...some spectacular chase and crash sequences can be found herein. A serious movie, this is not...a group of super-rich altruistic super-assassins, as a plot device, do not stand up as a believable plot device. But, its fun enough. Tagline of my own making: Wanted will make you believe in the magic bullet that killed Kennedy.

Slick looking action flicks with hyper fast camera work, slo-mo fx, cool soundtracks and a brainlessness that even dimwits can acknowledge and overlook are a dime a dozen, and there isnt much to get too excited about here. There are some really cool action sequences, but anymore for me, sitting through the nauseatingly insipid story with plot holes the size of Kansas takes extreme effort anymore. Hey, maybe they should skip a story altogether and just throw together the cool action sequences, yea! On a side note as the movie starts, I instantly wondered to myself if that Shia LeBouf guy from Disturbia and Indiana Jones was offered this role...the hyper emotional angst shtick he does is this character to a tee. Anyway, I was a bit surprised at the heavyweight cast, given the absurdity of the story, maybe they all saw the potential $$ that these eye candy movies can produce. Worth a look for some of the action sequences.

Amazing action, love them both

Weird weird weird, thats all I can say. Wasnt my cup of tea (or any other beverage for that matter).

A different take on a great action flick, acting is good the action is great. Keeps you interested for the whole film.

Wanted is indeed an action-packed movie paced at lightening speed. My first impression was that this was like a comic book come to life, and then saw in the credits that it was actually based on a comic book series. It certainly captures that feel. The story is very well related in other reviews. Young man drifting without goals and passion, gets swept into a fraternity of assassins formed a 1000 years ago. Descended from weavers, a loom allegedly in a secret digital code, picks the names of people these trained assassins are to kill. The young man is told he is being trained to kill the man who killed his father, also a member of the fraternity. But, is he? Obviously a lot of violence, killings, car chases and the usual gallons of spilled blood. Not for the faint of heart, but enjoyable for the legions of Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman fans.

The content is so rich ! I like it very much !
