"not since the matrix has a movie made you say 'did they just do that?'" and not since the last movie that was compared to the matrix have i left the theater in awe as to why anyone would do such a thing. its not that the plot is a lost cause, but, the rest of the film is. it's nothing more than an overblown and quite pablum filled jaunt into the world of making everything out of computer animation, and using film gimp to airbrush angelina jolie. not that i expected much, this whole movie season seems pretty much a waste of time so far, but the twelve-year-old in me that loves action movies feels lied to. "the biggest action movie of the summer" my crippled ass.

Great googally moogally, don't you know that Angelina Jolie is the kiss of death for movies? Seriously, name three good Angelina Jolie flicks.

Still, I like that James McAvoy so I can't hold you completely at fault.

For some reason I loathe James McAvoy. I don't know why. It's unexplainable. He just seems like an ass to me. I don't know.

as far as i can tell from previews, this movie is based around the fact that he can curve his bullet shot.
now, why the fuck would you ever want to/need to bend a bullet shot? so absurdly stupid. what is he? the david beckham of gunslingers?

From what I heard of the comic, it sounds pretty horrible. Is it, Chuck? Or have you not read it? Either way, I don't think I'll be reading it. Or seeing this movie.

well, when you put it like that it seems like a much more appealing movie. i blame poor marketing and angelina jolie. sardonics got it right up there but im going to try to list three movies with her that i like

the good shepherd
kung fu panda
girl, interrupted
that actually wasnt very hard. but she still sucks!

And there would be three flicks I haven't seen. I was already tainted by then.

I only saw Girl, Interrupted. It was decent.

i never read the comic, but i basically understand the concept of it from the movie, and because i beat assassins creed earlier this year. the plot of both is reasonably similar, so i would just say play assassin's creed. its more fun.

Nah, I heard the plot of the comic book is way different. This might be a spoiler for the comic Wanted, so, tread carefully:

In the comic, the guy Wesley and the assassins are really supervillains, and the dude goes around raping and killing innocent women and stuff. At least, that's what some comic nerd told me who's read it. He said the plot was very different from the movie.
