Dreadful, dreary, hackneyed load of old rubbish.

Rating: 1/10 (30 July 2008)

What a pity that actors as good as James McAvoy and Morgan Freeman can allow themselves to be degraded by such pathetic nonsense as "Wanted". I went with my sister, who I haven't seen for a couple of years. After this film, I felt embarrassed that after this long time apart, I ended up taking her to this turkey. I stayed to the end but was crawling in my chair from about 50% of the way through the film, wanting to get out of there. I didn't leave because I didn't want to spoil it for my sister. - Little did I know that she was desperate to get out of there too. I don't think I'll have the hide to ever suggest we see a film together.....
This dog of a film trawls new depths. Whereas "The Matrix" hit the mark (the first one, that is - the second and third ones were dreadful). To compare The Matrix with "Wanted" is like comparing dog food with a top meal at Maxim's in Paris. The two films are about as far apart in terms of entertainment and excellence as it's possible to be. Save your money - don't see this film. It will leave a very bad taste in your mouth for a long time to come.
