    this i went to see in the big screen. once again i proved to myself just how much i adore my sister angie...she is just so cool! and one of my faves morgan freeman who gives justification to any role he plays. and james mcavoy~ ive seen him in band of bros., half human-half deer in narnia, and in the last king of scotland~ i say this guy can act and i'll be waiting for his next films..he's got the ability to project a change of emotion without saying a word and few facial expressions~ know what i mean..? like that of ed harris'..? anyway this guy is definitely on my list of "die-to-meet" list...the shy&mysterious yet naughty and super sexy... shet..wish ko lang...ahahaha!
    but then, you dont want your kids to see a movie so full of violence. personally, i like it.

    This movie did everything right. Well i guess i should give the credit to the awesome graphic novel. Wesley Gibson...a nobody/great assassin(lol). Anyways MY four favorite actors in this film was James,Angelina,Morgan, and Common. I will start with common.

    Dang, Common is in a lot of awesome movies lately. I never did like his songs tho. Being a gun expert in this movie was aa pretty good role. Yeah he was pretty good in this movie. I dont hav lots to say about him tho.

    Morgan Freeman is in every movie possible isnt he? Dang dude. I really liked his character in this. Sloan the founder of the Fraternity.His role was also kinda decieving. Really good actor. I hope he never dies.

    Angelina Jolie! I doesnt matter waht movie she is going to be in, she is still awesome. Either Ms.Smith or Fox was her best role. I really liked her in tis film.

    Who the heck is James McCoy? IDk and IDc. He was awesome in this movie. I really liked his acting in this really awesome movie. This movie will make James rememberable.

    Overall Great Film.

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

    The 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.

    Seen 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.

    Wanted 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 Freeman

    Quick 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?»

    Rubbish 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?

    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.

    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.

    The plot was lacking, the ending pointless. Cool stunts but stunts don't make a good movie by themselves. Worst A.J. movie I've seen to date.

    Very good story line. The action scenes very thrilling. All film goers must view the movie. If any one miss the film, that means missing a wonderful experience.

    I do want to see it, but i feel like im goin to be disapointed. I got the comic ( which if one of the best series i have read ), & the casting seems a bit...fucked up. Fox was a black chick who looks exactly like Halle Berry & Wesley looks like a taller Eminem. Im not sure who plays who in the other characters but it will seem weird watching it. But i do hope they kept characters like Fuckwit ( worlds greatest super-hero with the down syndrome ) & Shithead ( made from the shit of 666 most evil villians, like Hitler & Ed Gein )
