Favorite movie of the summer

Rating: 10/10 (14 July 2008)

For anyone looking for an extremely gory, action-filled movie with plot twists, go see Wanted.
For anyone who doesn't like gore, cussing, or takes comic-book based movies too seriously, don't see this movie.
I'm just surprised by most of the comments on how the movie is so poor. The most common reason people didn't like the movie based on the comments here on IMDb is that the movie isn't realistic. The movie is based on a comic-book. Did this movie ever seem like it was trying to apply all the rules of real life physics? Since those same people seem to always use the classic, "Americans are dumbed down because of entertainment like this", then explain why you're so dumbed down you couldn't notice in the previews that there were supernatural events occurring in the trailer for the movie? Or how about 5 minutes into the movie when a guy jumps across from one building to another? Did you think this was a documentary? You should have left at that point in the movie if you were going to take the movie that serious.
It just seems strange to me that people complained about the over-the-top violence. In the preview it shows a curving bullet in slow-motion. What did you expect to happen when the bullet hits the person in the head!? Everyone also knew before seeing the movie, that it was about assassins. What do assassins do? They kill people! This is the first time I've ever commented on a movie and I've been reading reviews and trivial facts on this site for over two years. I hope at least one person who claims that the only people who like this movie are idiots reads this. I guarantee they are the type of people who complain about everything, don't enjoy life, and are just frustrated all the time. I'd rather not be in that boat. Do the anxiety pills he takes in the movie look familiar to you?
