The plot seems cool, don't know how well it will be executed though.
I'd be more excited if it weren't for the other movies comin out. This summer has been real nice with the movies with The Dark Knight bein the climax.

I have been in love with Angelina Jolie since Hackers; she'll always be my number one. With that being said, I have to see this; she looks so hot in this and it looks like a decent, entertaining flick.

IF you haven't read the graphic novel , do your self a favor and read it before you see this.
The movie takes a lot of liberties and will be no where near as good as the book story wise.

I'm not critizing it againt the book. I still want to see this. I'm taking hem as too separate materials.
From what I've seen in the trailers the books gives a much story, than what the movie will provide
I've seen the preview for this about 100 times and still have no idea what it's about, but that could be because I was completley zoned in on Jolie. I'll set it for her alone. I'm also a sucked for movies with bullets flying everywhere.

That's sort of the point, that they are a secret society that can do the IMPOSSIBLE.
I think it would make more sense if you have read the graphic novel, then you would get the plot a bit more. Teh trailers don't really tell you much

I think it's the other way around, I think the book is pretty unfilmable.

I actually agree with you, I think the Super villains aspect would not translate on to film very well. I also just think that the story is better told with super villains rather than assassins. I haven't seen the film so I reserve final judgment until such time. But based on what I see from the trailer, I believe the book will give a more complete and all around better story.
I still want to see it non the less.

Mark Millar (creater of the graphic novel) has already been approached for a sequel to Wanted. I think this is kind of depending on box office performance.
This is what he had to say about it:
"Wanted 2 already being planned and they've asked me how I can develop some of the other stuff from the book into the sequel. We'll see what is like at the weekend, but everyone knows this is going to make a LOT of dough…Wall-E permitting. Fucking bastard of a wee robot.[/color]"

I just saw the midnight showing of this, have to say I was kinda dissapointed.
Overall it was a pretty decent action movie, the action scenes were well done and pretty cool at some points, it was funny at times. There was a little "twist" that made things interesting and changed the story. But overall I just couldn't get into it that much, it was just too much like the matrix (at least up until about halfway through). Some parts of it didn't make a whole lot of sense and you get the feeling that some of the action sequences were trying too hard. Parts of it were very cliche, for example whenever a fight was going to take place there would be that cheesy metal guitar in the background. It felt that they were trying too hard to make this a badass movie.
That being said, its worth seeing, just don't expect an amazing movie. 6.5/10
Oh and you get to see Angelina Jolie's ass so that alone is worth the ticket price.

Totally agree with the Fight Club vibe of it, the first 10-15 mins of it was like the beginning of fight club, at some points it seemed like it was just flat out copying parts of fight club with all the narrating parts and the part where he tells off his boss . And since Fight Club was amazing, this didn't even come close to being as good.
I understand if this movie was following the comic book but overall it seemed like it took too much from other movies.

i didn't think it was terrible, it just wasn't very good. granted there's not that much of a difference...but i don't think this will be far from it.

For a movie about a guy with the ability to go anywhere in the world at any point in time, Jumper was pretty flat. Not to mention, Hayden Christensen is an awful actor. Regardless, while I don't expect Wanted to be a groundbreaking action movie, there's no way it will be entirely forgettable.
I saw this today. Pretty entertaining. Angelina Jolie is so fucking hot.

I was a big fan of the comic, and even though this didn't follow it that well it was massively entertaining. They got the core of the story right, I thought McAvoy did a great job as Wesley, and damn, that was some seriously great violence if you ask me. I was grinning for most of this movie.
Damn solid picture.

Saw this tonight. Good fuckin shit! Lots of action and great story.
Is it just me or are fight scenes in trains always win? A la Spider-man 2, Batman Begins, Wanted... I'm sure there are many others.
Oh yea, and Jolie's ass looks very nice.

I have to admit I had a period of indulgence myself and I don't particularly have a problem with people who get stoned, but I can't stand those who can't do anything without it. I've had a few friendships fall by the wayside because of it. I especially can't understand getting stoned to see a movie, except maybe, and this is a big maybe, some comedies. The whole point is to take in everything as the director intended you to.

Are you saying that Pineapple Express isn't begging to be watched while stoned? I agree with you to an extent, but I think there are some movies that are made just to cater to the stoner audience.

That might be one of them. But this is how I view it: Being stoned generally only makes a movie better if its a bad movie, so why not just go see a good movie and not smoke.

I have friends liek that who need it for EVERYTHING.
And when you finally convince them to do something not stoned (or they just couldn't get bud) they make comments the whole time like 'this would be such a buggout if I was high' or 'damn, I can't wait to score some weed later.'
Ruins everyone experience IMO.

Orrr if it's a comedy, right? I wouldn't go watch a good movie stoned, but some movies (like Pineapple Express) seem like they would be much better if you were high.
Anyway, the point is, my friend went to Wanted stoned and said that it was not very good, but the fact that he was high made it better. I wanted to know whether or not this was true, because if so, I wouldn't go watch it.

It serves me well when the ladies won't.
This is another film that I thought looked good but might end up being a bit of a let down..from what I can tell, no one has anything especially bad to say about it so it might well be worth a watch. It may well tide me over til The Dark Knight which I have been convinced is going to be awesome pretty much purely by the hype in its thread on here.
Oh, well then yes, use your imgination, haha.
saw Wanted last night, thought it was actually good. mcavoy and jolie were surprisingly good

Not by my standards. I just got back from seeing it, and I can't stop grinning. It was fucking awesome! Especially to see in theaters, but I also thought it was a genuinely good film aside from all the special effects.
And I'm totally sober.

What really pisses me off is when parents bring their children into this movie. I'm saying "I just thought I should let you know that this movie is pretty graphic and not really appropriate for a child" and then they say "like sex, blood, or profanity? and I say all of the above, and they still proceed to take their children into the movie.

Just saw this tonight... I thought it was pretty bad albeit entertaining up until the last 25 minutes or so. It completely redeemed itself for me with that. For those of you that have seen Wanted and Gone Baby Gone...
The precise moment when Cross grabs Wesley's arm to save him I thought, "Fuck me, I should've seen this coming. It's all a lie and Morgan Freeman is the bad guy again. Wtf. I'm an idiot, and I really should've seen this coming.
I didn't expect that from this movie. Thought it was going to be pretty straightforward.

Writing and acting usually aren't strong points of a movie such as this, although I thought they were both passable. Your bad for expecting anything more.
