WANTED (2008)

by ThePete 6:00 am 2007-11-13

Positive Experience/Entertaining? HOLY CRAP, no. I don’t think you could pack more lame-ass unoriginal cliches into a trailer than they did.

Technically any good? The stunts and FX look overblown and stupid as hell. When will filmmakers realize that pushing the limits into the realm of science fiction is simply too far? Acting-wise? Love the cast, but puh-leeze. This has “did it for the paycheck” written all over it. Angelina Jolie as the hot “Obi-Wan Kenobi” who “knew” James McAvoy’s “father.” Yes, that’s right, it’s ANOTHER GOD DAMN FATHER-SON MOVIE! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD WE’VE HAD TWO FRAKKING THOUSAND YEARS OF FATHER-SON STORIES! LETS MOVE THE HELL ON!! HOLY CHRIST–LITERALLY! Based on the trailer, this movie looks like it was written by a 13 year-old.

How did it leave me feeling? Like taking Angelina Jolie off my list of movie-crushes. Why does she keep staring in these CRAPFESTS??? PLEASE, Angelina, I’ll write something good for you–or–just be in better movies. Either that, or I’m going to have to stop telling people I think you’re hot and a good actress. Because you could be Hepburn and Bergman rolled into one and THESE CRAPPY MOVIES WILL STILL SUCK.

Final Rating? DNS - Do Not See when it comes out on March 28, 2008. But you can see the Wanted trailer at Yahoo and make up your own mind.
