oh.......my.......gah......this movie was soooooo good, i really don't know how i'm going to give this movie a score though. for those of you that don't know, wanted is based off of a comic book series. i'm going to give you the story line for the comic books, then the one for the movies. see how they compare.

 

comic book:

a man is pulled aside by a girl one day, he is told he is the last remaining link of a colony of super villains and he is to help the reminaing super villains hunt down the remaining super hero's and wipe them out. (no, i'm not kidding)

 

movie:

think the same, except now there assassins and they don't have super powers except for added amounts of adrenaline in there system, which allow them to slow down time. they put there trust in "weapons of fate"

 

now, i'll be honest, this is one of the best movies i have seen in a long time. it's at the same level as speed racer for me, which i thought was incredible. heres the thing. the acting in wanted is superb, the characters are played great, and surprisingly, angelina jolie plays her part well (not a big fan of her work, but she proved that she could act with this movie) and altogether, the acting is pulled together perfectly, it feels like all the characters were born to play there part. my personal favorite was morgan freeman, he played his part perfectly.

 

lets move onto one of he biggest parts of movies these days, the action...this movie does not dissapoint. movies now have to come out with stuff that nobody has ever seen before so that people will want to see the movie. believe me, you have not seen any of this before. throughout the movie, i never found myself once getting even remotely close to bored. and when you see one of the action scenes near the end of the movie, it's a run and gun scene, you will be in awe, it is incredible to watch. all the action is very far-fetched, but that doesnt make it any less incredible or entertaining. heres what i think of action in movies. as long as the physics are realistic and the crazyness makes sense, i'm cool. like, if a car gets shot once and all of a sudden it flys 50000 feet in the air, that ain't gonna cut it. if it gets hit in a gas tank and flys into some other cars, that makes slightly more sense. this movie's action was on point, it mixed perfect physics with the idea that things such as bullets can be curved and such. it really makes you think, if bullets could curve in real life and assassins were this deadly and good at what they do, this could all indeed happen. and the effects look absolutely incredible, from the detailed shots of a guy getting shot through the head with a bullet to a girl snapping her stapler (you'll get what i'm talking about when you see it) it really is phenominal.

 

the plot is creative and gives you just enough space to have to think things through without over doing it, it's seamless and perfect.

 

only one thing i don't like about the movie, it didnt stick to it's comic book roots. it sucks, because as much as i loved this movie, if it doesnt follow it's original source, at least to a certain point, i can't let it off as a perfect interpretation of the comic book. if this movie was made without being based on the comic book, it would get a perfect 10.

 

however, due to the fact that it's a incredible movie, but it doesnt fully follow the storyline provided for it, i will give it a 9.5 out of 10!
