Wanted, the movie

MJ5150 · #1 12-18-2008, 06:17 PM

So I watched this last night on my flight from Cincinnati to Seattle. It was a cool movie I guess. The turning bullets was over the top, but the plot was cool. Cool music and soundtrack as well.

I like the main actors, so that was a bonus. I often find that even though the movie may be lame, if I like the actors, I'll watch the whole tmovie anyway.

i'm still waiting for the news report saying that a kid shot his friend because he was trying to curve a bullet.
...sooner or later someone's gonna be stupid/drunk enough!

I saw it in the theatre and thought it was completely retarded and a waste of my money. Of course, I had pretty much figured that out from the trailer, but a bunch of my friends were going so I tagged along.

Recently, I was hanging out with some people who put on the DVD, and I approached it as just dumb fun and really enjoyed it that way. Just depends on how you look at it, I suppose.

This makes me want to watch the film (I have it, just haven't watched it)

The comic book was good, the movie was god-awful.

By that do you mean that it's a great flick for going to the theater and throwing popcorn at the screen?

Probably because they barely share a similar plot

As for the movie the action sequences weren't half bad, the rest was just average.

Wait... you thought the plot was cool? Wanted has got to be one of the worst movies I've seen this year. It was TERRIBLE. I wanted to walk out within the first 10 minutes, but I was out on tour and had nowhere else to go.

Yeah, I did. But hey, I was on a plane, so I really had nowhere else to go.

Was this the same flight where you didn't like Batman? Were you on Valium or something on this flight?

Yeah, this is the same flight. I even tried watching the latest Mummy movie, and that was lame too. The guy next to me watched Fred Claus, and he was laughing the whole time, I guess I should have done the same.

Ok. We're you on Valium, Ambien, prozac, qualudes...? What were you on, because something was obviously askew with your judgement.

Hehehe, nope. None of the above. I was sipping some of the Starbucks liquer though. It's free when you sit in first class.

Remember this...I was watching all these flicks on a 6" screen mounted on the back of the headrest in front of me. I think maybe I enjoyed Wanted more since it was pretty mindless and not real engaging. It was cool and all, but all I had to do was watch this one dude kill people.

Good Movie. Like most new releases lately, the ending was horrible but then most good movies to have a crappy ending.

LOL. See even if I was on all of the above, I would have gladly watched Batman again, and probably start a second viewing before watching five minutes of that other movie.

saw a nice trio of superhero flicks on the way to Korea - Dark Knight, the new Hulk and Hancock. Enjoyed them all.
