Wanted

Post  Nimrod on Tue Jul 01, 2008 5:17 pm

This is really getting a lot of mixed reviews, but honestly... I'd go back and see this movie again while it's in theaters.

Yeah, it's completely ridiculous. The plot isn't going to get it any awards. No, you can't take one second of it seriously. But I found it extremely entertaining (and I'm not slavering over Jolie). There's this gun fight sequence towards the end that made me want to rewind and rewatch it ten times over. Not even five minutes into the movie I was laughing due to the crazy assassin hijinks and over the top bloodshed. Call me twisted. Wink

I don't know how closely it sticks to the graphic novel, but I don't care. It's a fun movie. If you liked the Transporter or Crank, you'd probably dig this. It doesn't drag.

I shall take your advice and look at it, hopefully the wacky hijinks aren't too bad. I saw a few things in a trailer involving spinning/flipping cars that seemed a bit odd.

By no stretch of the imagination is it "possible" heh heh. It's definitely out there, but pretty entertaining. The characters are pretty awesome, too.

You'll probably never hear Morgan Freeman say "Shoot this motherfucker!" again.

I don't know how I did it, but I royally screwed up your post and deleted it, Tex... sorry!

But quite honestly, there isn't a lot of dual-pistoling or black. It's pretty casual. Very Happy But... hey, obviously not everyone is finding it as entertaining as I did. If you find shooting bullets out of the air *not* amusing, don't go see this.

And as far as that *attitude* goes... I don't think there were many of those wall-leaning jaded and cool types in the movie. The protagonist is a pushover geek. The movie doesn't revolve around Jolie.

well cool then Cool

from the trailers I saw it seemed like that type of movie. btw don't go see the love guru or the happening. both stole equal parts of my life and soul, which I will never get back. it's pathetic what women can talk us men into watching Rolling Eyes
