Wanted

Great Movie, not as good as the comics, but a great movie.

This movie is brilliant. A lot of viewers get hung up on the superficial -- things like bullet bending or secret orders. To me, that's sort of missing the point. At its core, this movie is the story of the evolution of an asshole. The original writer's M.O. is to twist or invert superhero tropes. Wanted **is** Spiderman but "with great power comes ... you can do whatever the fuck you want" - Wesley Gibson is Mega Asshole Peter Parker. He starts off as a doormat and by the time the movie ends, he basically ruins everything around him and disses the audience in the series' signature 4th wall break. And it doesn't end there - the story picks up in the video game (of all places) where he completes his evolution, ruins even more things and basically becomes the comic book version of the character - mask and all. The sheer brilliance of this adaptation beyond transmedia storytelling is how at the very end, Wesley insults the piety of his parents and basically calls out the Loom - the revered plot device in the lore of the movie - for being a fuckton of bullshit. And in the PC version of the game, it concludes with him urinating on the face of his final adversary. Which is what I've done to you for reading this comment.

I love this movie. No idea where the hate comes from.

I loved it!
It's completely unrealistic and over the top but it's friggin' awesome :)
Camera work and special effects are cool, the setting is sweet, the actors are great and the action is plenty.
The story is nice but simple and makes sense but it won't win any Oscars, and that doesn't even matter. It's just a cool movie to watch.

This really isn't a superhero comic adaptation...it's The Matrix with a great sense of humor. Enjoy it.

I like fantasy movies, and i liked the end :) thought will be squishy, but was pretty well( just soo bad that Fox died) because of that 9 :)

Here is an example of when a movie adaptation strays from the source material and it pays off. The original comic was all about super villains that had taken over the world and killed off all of the heroes. This movie is way more thought out.

Great action movie that trades the tights and dimension hopping for a secret organization of assassins and a "Loom of Fate".

The film that makes JAMES MCAVOY's career. Who wouldn't relish kicking ANGELINA JOLIE's butt? :P

If you try to apply logic or physics to "Wanted", you'll get a migraine headache. If you want a fun rollercoaster ride that's over quick, strap yourself in and watch "Wanted". I enjoyed it start to finish.
