Wanted

Pros: Interesting plot. Good cast. Cool effects.
Cons: Few things were over used a bit. Extremely violent. Slow start.

I was interested in Wanted< b>< i> the first time I saw a trailer even though I wasn rsquo;t completely sure what it was about. I stayed interested as I learned more about the movie and decided that I wanted to see it. Wesley ...

Pros: Great action and special effects.
Cons: Flat characters, mediocre dialogue.

When I saw the very first trailer for Wanted I was hooked. First of all, Angelina Jolie plays the female lead. That's enough to pique my interest right off the top. Throw in Morgan Freeman and you shouldn't go wrong. Well, maybe. I had high ...

Pros: Good action sequences and creative ideas
Cons: Characters are not very endearing

People sometimes wonder what it's like to take the road less traveled. While that path may offer a refreshing change to the ordinary, people will also discover the pitfalls of these paths. In Wanted, a disgruntled office worker learns he has a ...

Pros: lots of action, Jolie
Cons: underdeveloped characters, needed better dialogue, no real surprises, almost too predictable for words

Wanted looked like it was everything that I wanted in a summer film, taking many risks in the action genre, and really presenting something that would blow audiences away. The advertisements made it look like something between The Matrix ...

Pros: slick, action-packed fun with a message encased in technicolor
Cons: maybe too much CGI and action scenes that run too long

There are many types of action flicks, not just in plot but in tone. If some push the envelope, in terms of gritty realism, some are practically cartoonish. Those who like a lot of cream and sugar - along the lines of The Transporter and Hit Man - will ...

Pros: A couple intense, well-done action scenes; the first 'bending bullet'
Cons: The rest of the action scenes; the next eighty 'bending bullets'

When trying to impress, whether it be with fireworks, magic tricks, or movies, it’s often wise to leave your audience with your best effort at the end of the show, in order to have the grand finale be what’s left on their mind as they file out, ...

Pros: Eventually the closing credits come.
Cons: Well...

There is a kind of movie that is not about telling a story to entertain the audience. It is, rather, a movie whose creator smilingly simply tries to milk a base need within the members of the audience by providing virtual stroking of that need until the ...

Pros: Jolie and Freeman
Cons: thin characters, iffy plot and just not a lot of meat to it

As a general rule, any movie with Angelina Jolie in it will at least be watchable. Any movie with Morgan Freeman is probably going to be the same. This isn't to say that they don't make some stinkers, but usually they're at least good in the flick. ...

Pros: Action-packed, Feel-good. Great, believable cast. Angelina Jolie. Quick adrenaline fix,lift.
Cons: Must suspend belief for some parts, but great ride!

-------------This Review Reveals Minor Plot Details--Maybe a Smidgen more than the Trailer--------- This movie is not pretentious--if you liked the trailer (and kept a light-hearted attitude about it), you will immensely enjoy the film. ...

Pros: Freeman, Jolie, action, some twists
Cons: extreme gore, language, characters not defined well

My husband wanted to see this movie bad. I am positive it was because Angelina Jolie is in it. I will admit I was remotely interested,but nothing like my husband. I was not even sure exactly what it was about as I only saw a piece of the trailer on the ...

Pros: Wicked cool action sequences, cool leading actors, and fun in a guyish, testosterone-fueled way.
Cons: It's absolutely ludicrous if you think about it... so don't.

General Introduction Let’s get this straight right from the outset: Wanted is an absolutely ludicrous film. The worst thing you can do, if you decide you’re going to see it, is think too much about what’s going on. That is an ...

Pros: Action and adrenaline.
Cons: Not much else.

Wanted (2008) Directed by Timur Bekmambetov From the Comic by Mark Millar and J. G. Jones. ”You know, if I wanted to get beat up, I would've stayed in my cubicle!” Wesley Allen Gibson has a boring job, a fat, foul mouthed, mendacious ...

Pros: Morgan Freeman; can be funny.
Cons: Ridiculous plot, gratuitous murder, unrealistic everything, bad special effects.

This isn't typically my kind of a movie. I prefer comedies, truth be told, but my boyfriend is a bit of a gun nut so I took him to see this train wreck last night. Normally, the tickets would have cost me 18 dollars, but thanks to a student discount, ...

Pros: Over-the-top but thrilling action scenes. Angelina Jolie.
Cons: James McAvoy.

I’m not a big Angelina Jolie fan. She’s given some fine performances in the past, true (GIRL, INTERRUPTED)…but mostly she has become a persona and not a real person. But I have to admit, her persona is perfectly suited to play a highly-skilled assassin ...

Pros: Strong cast. Creative action scenes.
Cons: Major storytelling flaws, particularly in the second act.

Wanted is a movie with outrageous action scenes that defy any sense of logic or understanding of physics. The filmmakers are clearly interested in freeing themselves from such constraints when devising these sequences. There's certainly nothing wrong ...
