"Choose your destiny"

Rating: 8/10 (23 November 2011)

A frustrated office worker learns that he is the son of a professional assassin, and that he shares his father's superhuman killing abilities.
Zero expectations, very boring day, and the only intention to see Angelina Jolie. Thing is, the movie starting and I sat back ready to waste an hour and a half. Then I receive much more than I had expected... The movie starts great, we understand what's going on and what is happening to each character. Movie progresses, we have some intellectual ideas tagged along with kick-ass action sequences. Movie is close to end, we have a bit of a twist (some deaths) and the amazing ending scene. The credits roll, me and friend sit awe-inspired by a great movie, which brought us both to surprise. Sadly, people don't get it. They thought the movie was pointless, poorly done, and it's main priority was to put some action sequences in and cut it clean. Fortunately, these people are all wrong. And thank God for that. I've never read the comic book series (in fact, I'm not much of a comic book fan) and some people lost it's point. OR (as read up) the film is actually INSPIRED by the comic book series. Maybe the reviewers expected an exact decoy of the comics, but instead they missed the definition of inspired and went on to bash on. Another reason the reviews bashed on it is because of it's 'ideas.' We have bending bullets, waking up in ice, and a new language hidden in thread. While some may sound silly (leading me to the flaws) they are actually all inspired by movies like Matrix or Fight Club. I think people missed the point or not watched with an open mind, because the ideas weren't all that bad. In fact, they were actually kind of understanding and a bit intelligent. Otherwise, and nevertheless; I recommend this film. It's isn't bad acting, story, or reason; it's actually quite a good, unique film. Even if you aren't an action junkie (like me) you should check it out. Wanted might have some surprises around the corner. 8/10.
