Wanted

Just came back from theaters and actually found myself quite entertained. At the beginning of the movie I kept thinking to myself "Wow this is starting off really bad..." but then it picked up a bit, and once you get past how ridiculously unrealistic/over the top this movie is, it became pretty fun.

And the last action scene by the way was right up there with the lobby shootout of the original Matrix. Seriously, it was just incredibly cool... I can't really get over it.

But by all means this is still not a great movie. Poorly directed in places, plot holes, and still too unrealistic to fully enjoy some of the action sequences (I mean, who thought of the ending to the train scene. really) I give it a 6.5/10

I really was not expecting much if anything from this movie. But i went and watched it with some friends and it was amazing such a great movie so go and see it if you haven't yet.

Eh this movie was kind of lame to me. It required you to suspend your belief far too much and it never paid off for how much of your belief you had to throw out of the window. The action was not as thrilling as I thought it would be overall, there were plotholes galore and the story itself was stupid. And I think the movie might have had the most blatant abuse of the slow motion affect that I have ever experienced.

Not that I don't think someone could go to the theater and enjoy this. I just never was thrilled the way I expected to be. I've seen a lot of movies so I will admit to being more difficult to please when it comes to the action genre, but overall I was not impressed. It wasn't horrible though it was a passable time I just wish I'd waited to rent. And I agree about the ending to the train scene.

The shocker for me is that Fox was my favorite character in the movie and I don't like Angelina Jolie. But she was cool especially for her last stunt of the movie.

5.7/10

Was fun to watch

Just a fun way to spend 2 hours in an air conditioned room this summer. No more, no less.

with friends

Wanted made $ 51 million, I'm certain the studio may look to do another Wanted movie. Overall, it was good, It required you to suspend disbelief which some movies like this tend to do. I didn't mind that at all.

i liked the first half of the movie, but the action went over board and the story became to cliched for me. For a movie that came out of nowhere and inspired no expectations, however, i thought it was a solid movie. Some of the effects annoyed me, but it was much better than i expected.

I watched it today and it was pretty good. I never got around to reading the comic book so I didnt knew what to expect. It was bit over the top but it was entertaining. Since I didnt read the comic, the "twist" caught me a bit by surprise. Its not a great movie by any means but its a cool popcorn film.

Is the twist like The Crying Game? If so, I'll see it! 😱

well there were two twists....the first one was kinda lame, taken almost directly from star wars

the second one was good

overall I really liked the movie though

Who wants more Wanted. ..

A sequel(s) is on the way..

a decent flick and more than entertaining.

i saw it twice. i got dragged into seeing it a second time. its one of those films you can only stand to watch once, but still good enough to see in a theater.

Once was enough for me, but I agree that it's worth seeing on the big screen. I wasn't expecting much, but I think they made a little too big of a deal about curving bullets. I enjoyed the long, rifle shots though. I'd be interested to see where they go with a sequel, considering how this one ended.

Aye. In the comics the first long rifle shot assassination they say took place from TWO CITIES AWAY because nobody wanted to get any closer to someone they knew as the best assassin in the world!

good movie. got a little winded. a few minutes shorter would've been nice. plus, after the star wars "no luke, i am your father" shocker, that was the end of that. the effect of that line wore off... unless it's really really unexpected.

Loved the movie, great action and good acting,

just a sexy movie overall😂

Damn, this movie looks like a bunch of goofy fun. Can't wait.

I'll probably download it shrug
