Okay if you are just looking to be entertained, but very lacking of quality and originality

Rating: 1/10 (12 July 2008)

I thought that 'Wanted' had an alright basic plot to begin with. This was ruined by a complete overuse of special effects and extremely unrealistic scenes to substitute a lack of imagination in my opinion. Of course 'Wanted' is a much different sort of movie but compared to a movie like No Country For Old Men for example, not one aspect of 'Wanted' could compare with the Coen Brothers script. Rather than keeping the viewers entertained with well scripted, well sequenced scenes, the movie turned from outrageously far-fetched, actually IMPOSSIBLE event to the other, for example TRAINS HANGING OFF OF BRIDGES!
I think if you are going to stretch reality THAT far your might as well put wands and potions in their hands and make it a fantasy. I'm sure that some people like that kinda thing however and I wouldn't say the movie is boring. It is actually funny at some parts. So I wouldn't discourage people from seeing the movie if they are curious, but don't go looking for a well written, inspiring thriller movie.
