Wanted Movie Reviews

Viewers Reviews

“The movie will keep its action lovers satisfied. The fight scenes are all that the movie has. Only action lovers can like it”. - Tori

“After Matrix, this is the only action flick you would like to watch. Mark my words on that and go watch it”.
- Felicia

“Wanted is full of absurdities. The movie is trying to impress its audience with special effects and nothing else. There is nothing new in this one.” - Walker

“Wanted is one entertaining movie. It would have been received with a completely different perspective, if it would have released, lets say some ten years ago. The movie would have brought a revolution at that time, but today it is just entertaining.” - Eric

“I found the whole concept of loom of fate, too silly and a number of things which were not easy to digest. Leaving aside those, movie is just ok and you can watch it once. But one thing is for sure the movie has some of the best action sequences that you have seen in the near past. Beside the action scenes the movie is just okay.” - Kylie

“Though the film has some good twists and turns in the end yet it would have been more appealing had the story line been more interesting. The director should try and make a movie with which audiences could relate in a better way. This one didn’t make much of sense.” - Jay

“Wanted is not for general audiences. You really have to understand the concept of the movie to make any sense of it as the movie operates at two levels. The movie is full of symbols. To get a better understanding of the movie you will have to change your whole perspective.” - Collin

“The movie lacks a good, sensible storyline. Only those people will like the movie who will watch it without applying their minds to it. It’s made for people who just get impressed by some great visuals and amazing fight sequences. Nothing above that.” - Angelna

“It is thrill ride for, action lovers. It won’t disappoint action lovers.” - Norman

“A complete waste. It started on a bad note and ended the same way. No ups and down as far as the storyline was concerned. Action wise you can say that it was okay, but the bullets moving a circular motion, with so much of force that it passes through ten people at a time is actually unbelievable. The movie just had some good special effects. Please make a realistic one, next time.” - Cristian

“The plot has its share of holes, but for those who like shutting off their brains but discovering they might be thinking deeply anyway, Wanted is a worthy diversion.” - Jeff

“Sure there’s some good action, but there’s so many better films out there that offer good action and overall better entertainment. If you want to watch this film solely for Angelina Jolie, don’t; go watch Gia instead.”
- Brook

“Don’t drink an energy drink before seeing Wanted; your head might explode from over-stimulation”
- Hoffman

“Like so many modern Hollywood moves “wanted” looks and sounds great but is a poorly conceived and written and is ultimately not a good movie. It’s another in a long list of movies that is technically excellent but uninspired and unfulfilling.” - Rock

“So it’s a fantasy film that I found difficult to get into. The action is well done, the effects look great, but its another case where you are lucky not to have an epileptic fit by the first hour from all the flash cutting and gimmicks. Half the movie is in bullet time.” - Alan

“This film is saturated with absurdity, in an attempt to wow audiences with special effects they have already seen countless times in the likes of Die Hard and Bourne. Nothing new in this film, just a number of Hollywood cliché’s, including the sob story told by a narrator in the third person, which ultimately turns out to be their own sob story, and even the Star Wars idea of the central character seeking to avenge their father’s death, only for the villain to say “No, I am your father”.” - Peter

“I am a massive James McAvoy fan since his Shameless(UK) days, so was a bit iffy on how he would transfer to an action movie. Despite a fair performance from him (even if his American accent is hard to believe and turns back to his native Scottish every now and then), my friend who dragged me along apologised profusely once the film had finished. Here’s some of my problems with the film.” - Barber

“Suspend all disbelief. There’s not a single element of realism in this movie & it’s a very sad attempt to try & make a comic into a movie then failing badly as the source material clearly wasn’t strong enough.” - Rob

“Guilty pleasure or ripping escapism, it’s a wild explosion of a film that rides high on its extravagant script and blows us away by its surreal action scenes.” - Keller

“We’re following Wesley Gibson, a nobody who is dragged into the world of the assassins and trains to become one to kill the man who killed his father. Except thats not the case, the man he kills IS his father and the guy in charge of the assassins (Morgan Freeman in possibly his worst movie role ever) has started to create targets for his own profit.” - John

“Mindless action films abound and can be fun. This is not a mindless action film, but its “mind” caters to nerdy dreams of becoming a more-than-human being. Wouldn’t we all like to suddenly have $3.5 million in our bank accounts, tell off our extremely annoying boss (is there any other kind?) and get trained as an ultra-assassin? Then just shoot everybody they tell you to or have a quick case of conscience, then shoot them - cool? Not.” - Loth

“James McAvoy plays Neo (sorry, Wesley) a shmucky everyman who, whilst shopping for his anxiety meds at a local pharmacy, bumps into Angelina Jolie a.k.a Trinity (or Fox, if you prefer) who joins him for a pointless special effects sequence en route to an introduction with Morpheus, played by Morgan Freeman, and who, for argument’s sake, we’ll refer to by the name he’s given in the film: Sloane.” - Bongo

“Wanted is like the last of big budget porn, throwing around endless style along with massive fake boobs and enough smoke to choke a Scott.” - David

“Whether you find the whole thing thrilling or exhausting will depend in large part on the health of your adrenal glands.” - Andy

“The film pukes its cards on the table most succinctly with its final line of dialogue. After narrating his character’s transformation for us over a sequence featuring yet another bloody, slow-motion head shot, McAvoy turns to the camera and says, “What the f**k have you done lately?” which, I’m happy to report, resulted in a smattering of mild applause at the screening I attended; not for the dialogue, but for the truly estimable chap who screamed “F**K OFF!!!” at the screen as the credits began to roll.” - Wilson
