Wanted

hmm...I tend not to do reviews since I tend to hate everything...but 5punk must be warned!

Pretty much...all you need to see is the trailer. By the time you're 1/2 way thru the movie...you already know what the remaining 1/2 will be.

Angelina is hot of course...but only naked for 5seconds. For some reason, I prefer to see/hear her talk than just look pretty...maybe cuz her lips are moving

Alas, she was only a supporting toon...it was all about the punk.

The worst part for me was that the punk was still a punk after he became super assassin. And the silly narrative werds...

oh...I forgot, the best part is the beginning 5mins...quite matrixy...then it went all to shit...

How to rate it...

/ 10 assassins (1 for Angelina)

I will never watch this movie again...

The trailer completely put me off this. I could maybe have put up with the bullet-bending thing (probably not though) if it was the premise of the film and nothing else daft happened, but as soon as I saw a slow motion shot of a bullet spinning past Jolie's head, and her hair moving with the breeze, I just hated it.

I saw the trailer, then downloaded the movie, just so I could delete it.

I've heard good things and intend to see it. I think you're probably all being too harsh.

I wish everyone would be more harsher and stop being satisfied with mediocrity! Just cuz it looks pretty, has a decent story and acting...does not make this movie GOOD...it might be better than alot of other crap...but still not good.

SO FUCKING HARD.

Everyone needs to be a bastard more and stop accepting crap.

Well not every film can be great, but studios could do with outputting less dross. Unfortunately people pay to see dross.

I can live with bad films - that's bad in a good way, like most of the stuff Peter Jackson did before Lord of the Rings. It's hollywood blockbusters that take themselves seriously but are testicle-tuggingly bad and full of ridiculous leaps of faith and deus ex machina.

Shit happens in accordance with the prophecy.

Don't knock it. I googled manhole the other day and wished that I'd had safesearch on. Or that my eyes would explode in my skull.
