The director is aiming for realism in this movie…
The whole “Angelina Jolie flailing around doing some wack ass acrobatics” comes across as low budget shitty movie making.
Early reviews have been positive for this film.
Rotten tomatoes has it at 100% currently based on 8 reviews so far.
We’ll have to wait and see if that holds up come release date.
I just lost 100% respect for rottentomatoes…
I’m really sick of the cg overkill - at least the Lord of the Rings had some good seamless scenes, watching the Hulk trailer felt like a rendered cutscene out of a game and Wanted…
Well let’s just say Angelina Jolie was a lot better in Hackers… which was also probably a (much) better movie.
It seems like the demographics for this movie are comic fanboys who wish they could be Neo and screw Angelina Jolie, but they can’t even get their fat ass into a cartwheel and find a girl on WoW.
===================
I kinda want to see ironman, but as soon as his mask goes over his face he becomes just a computer model to me.
They should have made him less shiny and got rid of the glowing eyes (like how iron man is supposed to look).
Kinda like what they did with Transformers and Godzilla – man they really jacked up their style.
All of these hot IP floating around with crappy pop-culture interpretations that just simply suck.
Oh hey and how come MK the movie got it about right, but Street Fighter came out like it was made on a $2 budget?
Man movies piss me off.
On the plus side the upcoming HALO movie looks pretty damn decent (though I wish they would cut down on the HUD/IRAQI invasion display).
If they screw-up that too I’m not going to be watching any new movies for a while.
This shit looks fuckin bunk. Matrix style shit was played the fuck out mid way through Matrix 2, and this shit is no exception.
The only time you should really be complaining about CG in a movie is if it’s a movie done by George Lucas, because there, the movies have the “Reverse Roger Rabbit” effect where the people are real, and everything else looks CGI.
Funny you mention Hackers, because Hackers was Angelina Jolie’s least dignified role…until Alexander that is.
Dont talk about the Transformers movie, I still can’t get over the way they fucked over Megatrons and Optimus Prime’s appearance.
Even though the MK movie got it right, it still had some issues and inaccuracies thanks to Paul “I like to change everything” W.S Anderson. And the reason the Street Fighter movie looks like a low budget comedy movie is because the director actually intended for it to be a “serious movie”. Mortal Kombat Annihilation was just a piece of shit though.
ok so it still looks like ass but it is definitely not going to bomb…and i will see it opening weekend
it was filmed in the parking lot of where I work (that car scene in the trailer). as well as the football field behind the parking lot.
so I wanna see that just for the parking lot. outside ofthatI don’t care too much.
They’re actually planning a sequel for this stinkbomb?
I think the producers are overestimating, like what kind of lame talent is curving a bullet? How the hell will that help you in life being able to curve a bullet.
EDIT: Well then again the comic did rock.
AcidBurn married ZeroCool in REAL LIFE haha, so it must not have been too bad for her.
Oh and the prequel star wars movies ‘look’ pretty good - especially the first one.
At least it’s not like most super hero movies where the characters obviously become a 3D model that animates like Gumby (ie all of the spidermans).
I think the backgrounds in 2nd one started to look a bit odd, but it’s not too bad.
Dude, superhero movie cgi does not compare to George Lucas CGI. George Lucas’s cgifests are in a category of their own.
And by George Lucas cgi, I’m not just talking about the prequel Star Wars movies, I’m talking about the recent Indiana Jones movie as well
Hence why I said it was Jolie’s least dignified role until Alexander
The commercials look like it has nothing to do with the book other than having the same name. The miniseries was awesome, and they’ve already fucked up the best part if they’re not keeping the original theme.
that seems to be trend nowadays…
Nowadays where PC Watchdogs get pissed about something they can’t babysit their kids with, of course Hollywood wasn’t going to go with even a fraction of the things in Wanted.
Look at Golden Compass for example. If that got the catholic church on a rampage about the real plot of the story, a walking pile of shit and a woman admitting she loves the cock would give the soccer moms a heart attack.
13 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and it’s at 92%.
The 1 rotten review was from a “New Yorker” critic who’s main complaint was it was “too violent”…
Interesting to see how it plays out as the week goes on.
Wikipedia did say it was “loosely” based on the comics, which is a good indicator of how shitty this movie is gonna be.
This thread has just been owned. Everybody, including critics, loves the *hell *out of this movie.
Only people whining are the kids that can’t accept changes (yeah, like shithead and raping celebrities for fun would fly).
Whiners can go fuck themselves (because they clearly didn’t understand the message in the comic - like the last few pages weren’t clear enough 
).
uh what did RT do? They just compile reviews from hundreds of websites and make a % of those who liked it vs how many people reviewed it
i saw this last night at midnight, awesome movie
and i usually hate popcorn flicks
fuck ironman, hulk, indiana jones, etc.
wanted is the movie of the summer
