Topic: Movie: Wanted - The new matrix?

Check out this trailer for Wanted. It makes me think of Matrix, with The One, curving bullets, and his jumping out of a buildings. Much more car action though.

It's by the guy that did the Night Watch series, and has Angelina Jolie (~Trinity) and Morgan Freeman (~Morpheus) in it among others

Looks s*** hot, comes out in a few months.

Its based on a comic by Mark Millar, though it sounds like a pretty loose adaptation.

I wonder if they'll recreate the final page from the comic?

I just dont see what the big deal is with Angelina.

The bee-sting lips and the man-hands just kills it for me. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

If you are referring to the movie, that's a big negative.

The movie doesn't get released till the 25th of June, so says imdb and the movie site.

Saw a trailer for this a few months ago, but any movie with Angelina in it is bound to be s***.

Watched it last night. They could have done better things with this movie

and Angelina really needs to learn how to fight. She looks like a girl in a cat fight

I didn't mind it. Just dumb fun though, care about the story too much and it sucks.

Thought it was ridiculous, as expected. Was still a decent vessel for some s***-hot action scenes though.

Weakass story aside, the main thing I think it would have benefited from was a better leading role. The actor they used and the way the character was written just made you not give a s*** about him. The whole changing sides multiple times based on nothing but what strangers were telling him didn't help, but the dude just had zero charisma.

That sounds ominous Trog. Surely it's not Jumper or Norbit bad?

Saw it. It was forgettably entertaining. Not the next Matrix.

Better than Revolutions, though. :)

I'm not really sad to hear the movie isn't good, since I was pretty much expecting it to be crap. I'm glad its not good cos it means I saved what would have been otherwise wasted money by not going to see it on the weekend.

I enjoyed it. The mrs loved it and wants to watch again. It's a very bloody fun but predictable action, certainly better than most action movies released this year like kill switch

The movie was absolute crapolla. I think it took me three goes to sit thru it all because I was that bored. The whole story was just completely lame and I think James McAvoy was the wrong choice for the lead.

I didn't think it was that bad to be honest, I went in thinking it was going to be s*** but it was kind of enjoyable. The story is rather dumb but without focusing heavily on that it wasn't too bad.

I went in knowing it would be bulls***, so I turned my brain off and I enjoyed it.

I thought the trailer they showed for Death Race before the movie was better than the movie itself

you know how that bullet starts off straight, then about a third of the way to its target it kinda breaks off and goes everywhere then lands in a pile of s***?


OH WAIT THAT WAS THE PLOT

In defence of the Matrix, at least the first movie was jaw-droppingly awesome. I f***ing loved that s*** when I saw it. Of course, after that it was just like when George Lucas pissed all over my childhood. Oh, and Spielberg now with the latest Indy.

The actor they used and the way the character was written just made you not give a s*** about him

I think Forbidden Kingdom had the worst main-ish actor ever:

http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2953745920/tt0865556

I seriously felt like punching the kid in the face for existing.

I liked Wanted, but the weak part (apart from the ridiculous stunts) was just the lack of care for lives and morals, etc. I mean sure, "one dead can save a thousand lives" or whatever .. but some of the kills were justified after the fact. Like his first kill .. Jolie sort of explained why it's done like that and put his thoughts to rest -after- he had already done the kill.

Plus killing almost everyone in the textile factory before they even found out about Morgan Freeman's actions. They weren't even part of his primary scheme, could almost be considered innocent .. but oh well, shoot them all in the head .. who cares.

This movie just looked so lame from the get go. Stupid 'apparently totally cool' action scenes and thats about it.

Almost as cool as Tokyo Drift..

I liked Wanted! Not the best story line, but it was decent for an action flick that didn't require much thinking.
