  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!!

  Wanted.......

  by gnreno3

  Wanted is definitely a must see......had to be one of the best movies so far this year. The action scenes and stunts were unbelievable. I plan on seeing it several more times and buying the DVD when it comes out.

  Best action film in a long time

  by samelliot

  I went to see the first showing at midnight not exactly expecting anything special. As it turns out i grossly underestimated this film. It was action packed, funny, and very well made. If the Wachowski brothers directed office space it may have been something like this. Good twist and unbelievably cool shooting sequences. I highly recommend this to any fan of action films, plus Angelina Jolie is smoking hot.

  Wanted=Kick Ass

  by corriewest123

  This movie exceeded my expectations. It was adrenaline packed from start to finish! Very entertaining! And James Mcavoy was the perfect person to play the main character.

  Yeah... you want to see wanted. Trust me.

  by kristijoy

  Between Angelina Jolie, James MaCavoy, the cars and the guns, this is two solid hours of a total turn on. Starts fast and doesn't let up intensity the entire time. Suspend all belief in physics and gravity then hold on to your seat. WELL worth the time... a totally new storyline and concept. Great movie.

  Wanted

  by swayzar

  Great driving, great Matrix type action. Story line looses something along the way. Also way too much sex excess up front. Totally unnecessary to the story. I didn't feel that the story came together in the end, although there is explanation given, it feels as if something is missing to make all the pieces fit right and it doesn't actually give the audience sufficent clarity for the events. I would watch it again several times for the action. Loved the cars and driving scenes. Unreal but who cares.......was great.

  Best Action Movie Of The Year

  by Kobayashi_Maru

  An absolute must see. The storyline was an updated comic book series that was done perfectly. There was more action at just the right time, perfect humor and the movie never slowed. You will leave craving more.There is no doubt a TV series or a sequel will be in the works. absolutely well done. Casting was Awesome. Special effects top notch. storyline a thing of beauty. Get out there a see it. Must see on the big screen, would have loved to seen it in IMAX.

  Wanted: Hadn't had this much fun since the first "Matrix"...

  by Gbrooks

  Neo might have had problems dodging these bullets, red pill or not. Incredible visuals and a tight story line made this a movie I'll see twice.

  Great summer action flick

  by sazeeroadster

  I enjoyed the premise of the movie, that of a ordinary Joe who is sick of his life and feels like a nothing discovering he has a great hidden talent inherited from a father he never knew. The action scenes are amazing reminiscent of The Matrix. Angelina as always is entertaining and though Morgan Freeman didn't have a huge part he is always good. Definitely worth seeing especially if you are an "action junkie".

  .....WoW.....

  by SadPanda2639

  I have seen many movies.... I've seen ones ive liked, and i've seen ones i've disliked. This movie was definitely one of the former. It was so refreshing to see a NEW movie. Some of you would disagree saying its another matrix movie, but the only simalarity i saw was their ability to break the laws of physics. To me it was something new which is just what the industry needs right now.
  The acting was phenomenal. The big-hitters (angelina, freeman, etc.) definitely pulled their weight, and the main character did very well, I am looking forward to seeing his upcoming career.
  The plot was well done, it had all kinds of twists and turns but it brought you along for the ride. It was, however, fairly predictable, but nothing is perfect. With all of the movies weve all seen a plot twist is almost never unpredictable nowadays.
  GO SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! It will restore your faith that some movies deserve your money!

  FREAKIN' AWESOME MOVIE!!

  by a.ngelah

  Went to the midnight showing and wow, I was blown away. McAvoy's american accent was on the spot except when he was in the first car scene where he says you kick his *** lol. Anyway forget that, but overall the movie was very entertaining to watch. I am not familiar of the comic story of Wanted but the thought of the twist in the story was unexpected (to me) and just bravo to Tim B (the director) and the cast! I really loved all the actions ie. McAvoy getting a lot of beating, the scores (soundtrack) of the movie...gosh I can't forget the swerving bullets, just amazing. Some of the lines were hilarious and you can't forget Morgan Freeman's 'shoot this [MF]" phrase! There's also an extra bonus for males and I'm pretty sure this goes for the females as well, where Fox rose from the water, haha. I'm planning to watch this movie again with friends and also can't wait to have it in my dvdd collections.
