    Go see it; the movie was frickin' amazing.

    Kinda predictable, and some parts are a little cheesy, but overall the movie was played out extremely well. And the narrator has this really sarcastic, biting humor that just adds so much to the movie. So it's not like 100% action, it's got some comic relief in there too. And to all the guys... come on, Angelina Jolie? Right? Riiight?

    I saw it over a week ago at a special event screening, and I had to go back and pay money to see it again on opening day. It was that good. xD

    I dunno. It's hard to say, because I've heard a lot of bad things about it too.

    Buuut... I really liked it. And like I said, it's pretty predictable and the whole basis for what "fate" is is really, really... really stupid. But the acting in it is great. And they've got some cool concepts in it.

    All I can really say is see for yourself and decide.

    It was decent.
    I mean, the fight seens were really awesome.
    And I loved the gore.

    But I absolutely hate James McAvoy. He ruined the entire movie.

    His acting is really mediocre.
    :/
    It's just an opinion.

    Angelina Jolie was perfect for the part as Fox.
    I love her in action movies.
    TOMB RAIDER FTW

    I loved the movie.. yet If I could change one thing...

    When he caught the gun near the end when jolie was killing everyone and herself, he should have fired a bulet and averted the bullet. They would have made an awesome duo team for good.

    I mean she never really actually was corrupt, she was the only good one.

    as good as assassins can be

    I read the spoiler as well, now wish I hadn't. To much temptation! But I really really still want this film, the trailer makes it look awesome. But I have no money at the moment, I shall have to wait until it comes out on DVD. I love Angelina Jolie, I'm up for watching anything if she is in it. (On a side note, Kung Fu Panda also looks awesome and it has Angie in it as well, another bonus, well for me anyway! ;) )

    Well its another comic book movie that defers heavily from the comic.

    But as a stand alone movie it is extremely well done and incredibly entertaining. I dragged both my girlfriends to it and they both loved it. It was a good triple date thing... But I highly recommend it.

    I looked through the comic while I was working the other day (I work at chapters) and flipping through it, I was like....this looks nothing like the movie!!

    So I can imagine many people that loved the comic wanting to riot after seeing the movie, even though it was AMAZING in it's own right!

    But, if say, Watchmen were to defer that far from the comic....there would be bloodshed I would imagine.

    Wanted has to be the most intense movie I have seen in a while. I watched Dark Knight too. Wanted surpassed that movie my miles even though The Dark Knight had much more hype about its release. Anyone remember the scene in the reviving place...;)
