MCT:October 9, 2008Even though it's self-indulgent cheese factor is unapologetic, there's still something enjoyable about this.

MCT:October 9, 2008The movie is pretty good , but I personally think the script might be better and more serious if profanities are lessen. The foul language just confuses the mood of certain plots , when it was bit serious I just feel like cracking up and laugh when even the characters were serious. The action was impressive. Now I think semi-automatics are just much more potentially dangerous in certain hands. :P Aside the dark humor , this is a good movie to occupy your 2 hours of the day.

The sometimes-campy, sometimes-ridiculous plot of "Wanted" is saved by an unexpected twist in the story, and it was at this point that the film deepened beyond its visuals. My favorite moment, in fact, comes near the end of the film and rivals even the most memorable scene in (its visual predecessor) "The Matrix": that gunfight in the lobby. This rival scene in "Wanted" is what will draw me back to the film again and again in the future. For all its faults, the film is still very exciting and serves as a perfect platform for James McAvoy to reach superstar status in America. And that's enough for me. "Wanted" is not for everyone, but for those willing to overlook the vulgarity that pops up from time to time, it is a genuinely good popcorn flick.

MCT:October 8, 2008Seen this because there was nothing else in theaters at the time, and expected nothing from it but some over-the-top special effects filled action movie. But, although it was exactly that, it was still pretty entertaining until the end.

MCT:October 8, 2008Wanted is cheesy action that doesnt really work, im not a fan of overly implausable and badly imagined plotlines. The acting is average and why James McAvoy has decided to dothis when he was on such a good road to the top ill never know. Save a few hours and watch something good instead.

WANTED (2008)
directed by Timur Bekmambetov
starring James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie, Morgan FreemanQuick review
Freeman is Morpheus, McAvoy is Neo and Jolie is Trinity. Well, not really, but the resemblance to The Matrix cant be denied. Add a little bit of Shoot 'Em Up and maybe some Fight Club spices to get Wanted with its meaningless plot but cool action sequences. McAvoy is surprisingly very credible as the action hero and Jolie is sexy as always kicking ass. Its probably not as clever as it thinks it is but its definately very entertaining. Stylish, bloody and fun but definately forgettable.«What the fuck have you done lately?»

A very stylish, visually arresting and superbly crafted action-packed masterpiece from Director, Timur Bekmambetov, his art as a stunning visualist and craftsman makes the film truly more engagging. A solid, exciting, pulse-pounding and unforgettable thrill-machine of a movie. An extroadinary and breathtaking movie. An tremendous and remarkable extravaganza of spectacular action, explosive suspense, wicked humor and amasing speacial effects that will knock you out of your seat. A mind-blowing, eye-popping and exhilerating action-thriller. A wickedly entertaining adreniline-rush thats also a feast for the eyes and ears. You'll be stunned, thrilled and satisfyed with every bit of this teriffic and explosive movie. A awsome and dazzeling escape into surreal fantacy adeventure fun. Bursting with the best and most stylised action sequences since the original Matrix film. The Matrix meets Fight Club. An excellent cast. James McAvoy is sensational. Morgan Freeman is brilliant.

MCT:October 7, 2008Rubbish really, a crap collection of characters and an absurd story. It must be really bad when the highlight of the whole film is Morgan Freeman swearing!

One of the best action movies I have seen in a very long time--definitely a suspension of reality but then so was the Matrix.

It has the good looks with the cast and the special effects, but the movie is ultimately unsatisfying. The SFX are wickedly cheesy and the usual story with its plot twists will have you saying, "Whoooa, I did not see that one coming" in a sarcastic tone.

I loved this movie all the way through! If you like action movies then you will most likely like this one. None of it is believable, but that makes it a fun ride and you will never have a chance to get bored. I loved James McAvoy in this one and the action sequences were kick ass. The ending cracke me up!

Highly entertaining movie that's over the top with the action scenes. When I say over the top, it is over the top. So much over the top that it's laughable, which makes this even more entertaining.
This is definitely a real popcorn movie, we almost finished our big bucket of popcorn here!
Now, what are you going to do now? -

James McAvoy just isn't suited for this part, he don't scare me at all, now Colin Farrell has that "psycho" in His eyes. I'm glad they didn't say this movie was based on a true story, McAvoy should just play fauns and get some scars in his mind. Oh and a PS Angelina just can't act she should be a lap dancer, she could adopt children......but I really don't care, hehehehehe

Kinda reminds me of the tv show, "Chuck," for some reason. This was fun to watch. The story was a bit thin though.

Gutted most of Mark Millar's GN for this non-sensical thing. A couple of good action scenes don't make up for lack of story.

Great movie with tons of action and a great story.
Lots of surprises in this film but they are real cool.
Does justice to the comic book. -
MCT:October 2, 2008
Entertaining? Very. Substantial? No. As substantial as a one-night-stand with Jolie would be, it would be thrilling and very entertaining but you wouldn't be left with anything to hold on to. Morgan Freeman can do a lot better too, come on.

"Wanted" is loosely based on the comic book miniseries with the same name and tells the story of Wesley (James McAvoy) who lives a typical boring life as a office worker until he gets in touch with a woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie) that tells him that he is the son of one of the best assassins in the world and that he shares his fathers great killing abilities. This is a straight up 'over-the-top' action movie and a solid one, fun for the moment, but not very memorable.
