    WANTED? You bet!

    by CrazyMama4691

    My 16-year-old son and my 44-year-old self just got back from the 12:00 am viewing. The movie is fantastic! After wasting my money on Zohan, yawning through Get Smart, I was ready to see a SUMMER MOVIE! WANTED is great. Do not take younger kids. (Too violent, a few pretty graphic sex scenes. We left the 12-year-old home with Dad who had to go to work in the morning.) I will definitely go see the movie again with dear hubby! The theater was filled with mostly young men. I was one of a very few women. The stunts are mind-blowing. Not one moment of boredom. You are fully engaged from beginning to end. WOW! Go see this movie! BTW, did I say the stunts were AWESOME!! Interesting story line, great plot, great acting, the actor playing Wesley was great. So believable. Of course Angelina Jolie is great. She doesn't saw a whole lot, but does she really have to? She has such a "presence".

    Curvy Bullets!

    by eyeful

    So, the thing about action movies...
    They have to deliver in "new and exciting" ways.
    Well, Wanted definitely showed up with the goods!
    Yes, the bullet-time effects were a little Matrixy
    and the main character narration was a little Fight Clubby...
    But this movie was freakin' amazing!!

    Plenty of eye-popping scenes, nicely choreographed action
    and seamless visual effects.

    Worth seeing in the theatre!
    So good!!
