Wanted - no shouting please? ...

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 2008)

This movie rocked - its definitely not the same as say - Iron Man, but it has a lot of moments... it is WAY over the top ... and very Matrix like in some ways ... with much begged borrowed and stolen - however it all works - and works well.
I don't think you have to have a crappy life to relate to the main character either... many movies are about improving your life... It is more about being in control of your life, vs. the other way around. You do not have to be a comic book/super hero/super villain assassin to relate.
I think many people are looking for realism in action movies... what's the point in that. The story is nice ... its tight... the dialog is fine - for what it is and the plot elements are nice too... there are shades of Star Wars, Rocky .... and um even Fight Club, which I think makes it great. There is some depth, but they waste little time, which makes the action good...
There is the loom... they make very good fabrics. There is the wax bath the heals you in a day or two - after rough night on the town (or in training). There is the 400 BPM heart rate that allows some humans (these gifted assassins) to react or act super fast ... as if time slowed down.
For those that did not like this flick - relax and you might have good time.... uptight and constipated is no way to go through life! :)
Just a final thought - an all caps summary for a post for this movie is the proper thing to do ... it is not shouting - or if it is - its proper shouting. WTF happened to IMDb?
