I did and it was pretty cool. A little bloody, but i loved the action scenes and especially the scenes on top of the train. I liked Angelina's character. The narrating in the beginning, which was obviously meant to be sarcastic, sounded kinda weird for me. I liked the twist and how it ended. It was definitely worth the money. I would recommend it, although there were some pretty graphic scenes.

nads:

yay. i can't wait to see it. i'm going to check it out this week.

Not as graphic as In Bruges...

I have an extremely high tolerance for movies that strain credulity (Exhibit A: I loved Indy 4) but Wanted was so cliched and progressively more ludicrous, that I wanted to leave. But curiosity for how it would end won out, even tho I could see it coming for miles.

My review:

All flash and little substance, the hyper-realistic and vaguely sci-fi action drama Wanted makes a fetish of guns, cars and the thrill of the kill. The movie borrows heavily from the Wachowski Brother’s ground-breaking oeuvre. Apparently little has changed – either stylistically or plot-wise – since The Matrix came out last century...

Many viewers may find there is plenty of action and eye candy to keep them somewhat amused. Others will lament the cliché scrum, the tedious predictability and the progressively more ludicrous plot points and action set pieces that unfold.
But apparently this high concept movie does not require originality. In fact, for its youthful target audience, clichés are bound to be an advantageous necessity.

Minus the riveting presence of sexy Jolie, this movie would contain little glue to hold bums in seats.

Wanted is a wet dream for horny young blokes.

-- who all apparently have a lot of money to burn, judging by the big box office takings this w/end!

nads:

wow DMG! You used a lot of SAT words in your review...I need vocab. lessons ASAP! ha.

Keep u posted this week when I see it. i can't believe how much money it made!

I'm off to the Hancock premiere. I haven't heard anything rivoting about Hancock...I guess I'll see tonight.

Donna Martin Graduates!:

that's "rivetting", babe - LOL!

Yeah, I soooo don't wanna see Hancock. That dorky kid talking like a retard -- "Hancock! Bad guys!"

GAG!

See Wall-E -- it's gorgeous!!

Donna Martin Graduates!:

oops -- I can't even decide if it has two 'ts' or not...

Nads:

DMG! I shouldn't talk too much trash on Hancock, but save your money. I'm going to see Wall-E this weekend! I CAN'T WAIT!

The one movie I do recommend is American Teen if you're into docs. It was awesome!!!!!

Going to bed now, it's been a very long day. ;-) nads

P.S. Riveting is with one T, but I only knew cuz I googled it. I misspell EVERYTHING...I'm sure the Gasmii can agree. It's like I can't wait to hit "publish" on my blog...I'm very compulsive with my publish button...
