Wanted movie looks like ass...and will bomb

Walle and Kungfu Panda >>>>> Wanted

Gotta see them all though…

lol Is Wall-e really that good!?!?

umm why is duc do posting in comic book forums?
baffled!

after i left wanted they had a showing of wall e starting in a couple mins so i watched that

its a pretty adult movie which was surprising

there’s no dialogue either for first half of the movie or so

both were pretty good

I think the whole problem is how the movie/trailer were packaged. If you know nothing of the comic, the trailer makes it seem like some corny ass movie about Jolie jumping up and down and curving bullets with the Morgan Freeman’s voice assist.

No reason to curse members out. If this kind of talk persists I’ll hand out infractions and lock this thread in a heartbeat. Keep it civil or else. Carry on…

i’ll post my review once my downlo…i mean once i go to the theaters to watch it. gottaa be careful. i almost gave sano a heart attack

From now on I will picture your voice sounding like the MVC2 announcer. :rofl:

Saving my money for the upcoming Batman and Hellboy movies so I’ll pass on Wanted for now. I’ll see it on cable later on. Much bigger fan of Batman and Hellboy I guess… Maybe I’ll see Hancock since that seems fun, not sure though.

I think this is the first movie the deviates heavily from source and is no worse for it. It was a fun story, it takes the premise of Wanted but beyond that doesn’t really follow anything but the initial plot points. It was just a fun action movie, the humor was good, the action was good, and really my only complaint are some of the scenes don’t make sense with the plot. (One glaring scene that me and my friends tried to figure out after the movie ended.)

Course this is just my opening. The CG was largely relegated to things that look okay computer generated (cars, bullets, etc) there are a few scenes were the people are, but it’s not near as much as some other movies.

I’d recommend it. (Though I must say I went back to see the comic after seeing the film.)

loved it

over the top, but awesomely so

I haven’t read the comics but I noticed this thread and just wanted to chime in that the movie was great. Plot holes all over the place and a really stupid storyline, but the action was just awesome. That whole introduction sequence from the Convenience Store all the way up to the keyboard scene was top-notch, I could watch it over and over, and the end of the movie was on par with Equlibrium’s Hall of Mirrors.

Edit:

Totally agree with this. There’s other movies that deviate from their source but turn out great though, except maybe not from a comic books. But for example, all the Bourne movies basically only have character names in common with the books, but are great.

im reading the comic now…jesus this thing has some real racial overtones. the boss has no name just african american boss…and pretty much everyone normal is identified as a race. movie>comic at the moment…im only in issue 2…will be done in a half n hour.
