Wanted

Girlfriend wanted to see it, I had suspicions of suckitude.

They tried to mix Fight Club, The Fast & The Furious, The Matrix, and the violence from Rambo into one movie. And it was clumsy. "Oh, this is the Fight Club Part (down to having the main character narrate, which he ever does in the other parts)." "Oh, now it's The Matrix."

Super bloody. Slow motion bullet exit wounds from the front of the head.

Anyway, it's not really the movie they advertise, I'd have waited to rent it. Go see WALL-E.

I read the comic book mini series that it took very little from a while back.

I fucking hated the ending and they left the parts I liked in the mini out of the movie.

So fuck it I'll wait until it's cheap on DVD.

I wasn't that impressed with Wanted. It's an OK action flick, and has some good lines: "shoot this motherfucker." Not much depth in regards to themes that aren't overly obvious.

Jolie bare-ass gave me a semi, so the 6 bucks wasn't a total waste. That and it being ghetto hour at the theater, which is always entertaining unless you're really into the film.

From the previews I can see that they left out most of the story elements that made the story really stand out. What's left does indeed look like "The Matrix" crossed with "Fight Club". Not high on my list of things to see...way after the Hulk movie and the new Batman.

Mildly entertaining. Only watched it because it came up on my Netflix queue.

Meh.
