Just rewatched the trailer and man I’ve seen enough.
^
Nice of the film to insult the public by calling us all sheep, unless were cool enough to be assasins and kill people. (Of course bad people).
^
Morgan Freeman, wow I’m totally sick of him. I could live a long life completly fine without hearing his pompus ass voice narating another film let alone watching him in one.
^
Jolie, wow where do you start. Skinny, plays roles that are “humanitarian” yet every now and then picks up the 9mm and kills people. So unbelievable. Such complete mindless violence. She looks like the recoil of a handgun would break her wrist.
(Eat some bananas babe).
^
Looks like this film has all of that going for it.
^
Bullets that curve around objects. Completly laughable.

Runaway remember that film…
^
Maybe its monday and I’m ranting a bit but this looks like smash and grab our money.

Based on a Comic?

Looks like a sequel to “Shoot um Up” to me.

Personally I wish they wouldn’t have cast Jolie in the film I really can’t stand her…

Check out the Wikipedia entry on the comic for some top level guidance

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanted_(comics)

“he premise of Wanted is that all the world’s super-villains decided to band together in 1986 and use their vast collective powers — including mad science, magic and mind control — to eliminate all the world’s superheroes and rewrite reality in their own dark image”

Toni,

Are they really? Most people (including myself) haven’t read the comics so I hope they make that clear in the movie.

Do they explain in the comics how they can make bullets curve drastically around objects? And does that mean that the James McAvoy character inherits super-abilities from his father?

Or are you pulling our collective leg.

Has anyone else read the source material who can confirm or deny that they are meta-humans?

The assagns are super-hero’s duffas !!! Read the comic my friend

Sure this film is taking this down a different angle but the main focus of these characters is a turf war between two ancient factions

I’m sure they’ll explain it in the movie. But in the scene I saw the bullet REALLY curved, not like the subtle bit in the trailer.

Do they explain how the bullets curve like that?

I thought from the very first trailer that guy did have some power and that’s why they were trying to protect and then recruit him.

Looks pretty cool, although the bullet thing was too “Matrixy” for me. IF I want the Matrix, I’ll watch the Matrix. Although, it’s always fun to watch Angelina….
