Your Eyes Should Roll At The Stupid Writing!

Rating: 4/10 (28 June 2008)

I never bought "Wanted" the comic despite the good art. I'm not a fan of Mark Millar's comic book writing. My hope was that the movie would be better than the comic regardless of how much I dislike Millar's writing. Thankfully someone else wrote the screenplay.
There are movies that are so bad they are good. This isn't one. There are movies where the special effects are cool and you don't care about the story. This isn't one. There are movies where the actors are so good, they can carry a bad story and make it work. This isn't one. There are movies that just have a stunning plot and you watch it thinking "Wow." This isn't one.
The story starts stupid and gets progressively more stupid at random intervals throughout. It's attempt to try and be clever fall short. It's attempt to be visually exciting just makes your eyes roll.
I say don't waste your time seeing it. Ignore the DVD release. I'm going to give it 4 stars for being boring and stupid.
