Original buzz:
WANTED: Not your average action movie
By now I'm sure alot of people have bitched about how it's way too much like the Matrix, and I hope to debunk that in this review. Sure the similarities are obvious: cubicle-dwelling loser gets picked up by a leather-clad hottie and is taken to a wise black dude to be told that he has a great destiny and has the ability to do things that slightly bend the laws of physics. But thats it, from then on in there are no similarities what so ever. Instead of having him sit in a chair and download fight moves in his head they strap him to a chair and teach him how to take a punch by beating the crap out of him, and teach him other abilities in various other ways of the same sort. Even the fight scenes in this movie are more creative and far more brutal than any of it's predicessors. They even through a bunch of plot twists in the mix just to make it even less generic. Trust me, Wanted is one of a kind in almost evry aspect and is worth the price of ten admission tickets.

ugh...
if your expecting unrealistic action than this movie is cool for you. to me it was like Shoot Em' Up with Angelina Jolie. I dont know about every one else but the idea of curving bullets seems to fake for me. i know movies are meant to entertain us but there has been to many matrix wanna be. not saying that matrix trilogy rules all shooter movies but you get what mean. the only reason i think pl should watch the movie is to see Jolie's ass and hear Morgan Freeman Curse. that was worth $10

Better than expected. Kind of quirky. Sort of Matrix-y. Exciting!
