Crazy action+humor=amazing

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2008)

I was amazed after I saw Wanted. I was expecting Wanted to be a really good movie, but not this great. I was really blown away by what this film brought to the big screen. Sure it does have a matrix style to it, but the humor and twists made it even more interesting and enjoyable.
James McAvoy is Wesley Gibson, a 25-year-old man whose life is miserable as hell. When he is working, his boss always complains regarding his work and his girlfriend cheats on him with his best friend. Gibson is basically nobody until he meets Fox (Angelina Jolie), a member of the Fraternity, a secret society that trains Gibson to develop pretty amazing and find the guy that killed his father. After joining the team, Gibson turns his life around and soon learns that the organization he is in, is not actually what it looks like.
I thought the story was great and really well told. I was very surprised by the twist in the story. The movie wasn't really long, but it still manages to tell the whole story fine and clearly. I thought the director did a great job at that.
The acting in the movie was great. James McAvoy was the perfect choice to play Wesley Gibson. He understood the character and did a great job. I thought Angelina Jolie did a good job as Fox. Some people thought she was bad, but I though she delivered a pretty good performance. Angelina was tough and physical, which I love about her. As for always, Morgan Freeman did a great as Sloan and he made me laugh in some parts of the movie.
Besides the storyline, the action, humor, and special effects were amazing. The action scenes were incredibly entertainment and mind blowing (curving a bullet is pretty cool). The special effects were amazing. I thought the effects were very realistic. The humor is the last thing I love about Wanted. I was seriously not expecting the movie to be so hilarious.
Wanted is one of the best summer movie and it delivers in every way. This is one hell of a ride and I can't wait for the sequel.
