Gre da Vid Super fantastic group of assassins recruit the son of one of them to kill one of them. Maybe Angelina Jolie just likes to dominate men. Maybe Morgan Freeman can actually make a bad movie. It's not a comedy, but you'll want to laugh at some of the fantastic, futuristic, unbelievable activities conducted by The Fraternity.

Jeff Turner Every now and then a movie comes out that has elements which fly completely over the head of many otherwise savy film buffs. From the polarized reviews here, "Wanted" is clearly such a work. The differences of opinion in reviews remind me very much of those on IMDB for "The Signal" with Lawrence Fishburn. So eager to say why they think this or that is wrong or bad, they pick apart a movie in it's literal sense and choose to completely miss what the movie's trying to convey. A jaded perspective that demands a movie be strictly confined to our reality will serve nothing for a viewing of a fantasy film, thereby losing the perspective that puts everything in a context the director and writers don't feed or preach to you but offer up the clues that allow you to open your minds eye as well. Either way, you won't feel like you wasted your regularly scheduled movie couch time at the end of Wanted unless you whine about "that cant really happen" ... no chit, it's a fantasy film - but maybe like me, you may give it several watches and enjoy the fourthwall piercing narratives which are the lens to the higher plane the movie conveys. I also enjoyed the humor - disdain as comedy is squeezed in rather well, complimenting rather than distracting from the roller coaster ride. And like a good thrill ride, the movie is meant to be fun - don't look for finger nail biting tension or characters to cry for because they aren't here nor are they meant to be. Look for characters whose roles are more metaphoric to the internal conflicts sparring for position in the heart and mind of a typical everyday person. You can think about doing what you wish you could and be defeated by your own doubts and addictions to your status quo, or you can choose to listen to the one idea for a life less ordinary as you define such - and not just answer the question "why am I here?" But actually get up and fulfill it. Or you can choose to watch it as a technical critic with jaded tunnel vision (imagine being in line for a ride with that guy, telling you why everything about the ride should be different or isn't just right... No thx mr. buzzkillington, I choose not to miss whole point.

sbbcbb There is nothing redeemable about this writhing pile of cinema refuse.The plot is stretched so thin you can read through it.The action is so over the top ridiculously unbelievable that I actually laughed out loud several times during the movie.The acting is mediocre at best and by the end of the movie I just couldn't wait to walk away.

LeonLouisRicci Lacking the Wit of "Hardcore Henry" (2015) or the Grounding Sophistication of "The Matrix" (1999), this Over the Top of Over the Top Exercise in Expressionistic Extremism is Entertaining to a Point.But the Breaking Point is Reached Quickly as the Brain Turns to Mush and the Stomach Wretches at the Obnoxious Portrayals of the Characters that go through all the Motion. Slow Motion, Ultra Slow Motion, Fast Motion, Sideways and Upside Down Motion, and Over Emoted Emotion.James McAvoy Screams, Sweats, Shouts, Yells, and is in Hyper-Mode along with the Visuals from the Get-Go and there is No Contrast. He is as Manic as the Tone of this "Graphic Novel" (Mark Millar, James Jones) Come to Life.There is a Good Cast On Board this Violent Splatter-Fest, but Bored You may be about Mid-Way, but None of the Name Actors can Compete with the Cinematography and CGI Trickery. They and the Audience are Overwhelmed at the Overt Brutality and High-Contrast, High-Def Images.There is an Audience for this Type of Thing, but there are Degrees, and Each Film that Takes on this Template of Video-Game Visceral is Ultimately Judged by the Overall Feeling and Substance of what Lurks Beneath the Slight of Hand Distraction from the Story and Characters that will Remain After and are the After Effects of the Viewing.This is one You will Feel while Watching but Not a Whole Lot of it will Resonate. Especially the Ludicrous and Incomprehensible Meaning of it All. Shallow but Sensational, the Movie is, when all's Said and Done, Witless but Willing to Offer a Bang for the Buck. Most Folks will Probably Get Their Money's Worth of Eye Candy, but those Seeking something besides Sweet Sustenance need Look Elsewhere.
