So, apparently, Wanted is quite good.

[Herr Mafflard]

100% Tomatometer so far. 

Also Empire and TotalFilm gave it 4/5. They gave Iron Man and Hulk 3/5 respectively.



And all you bitches said it looked crap.

i do really wanna see this

[Joe Molotov]

I don't see any way this movie can be as good as Shoot 'em Up.

[Herr Mafflard]

Is common a bad guy? I don't want him to be a bad guy.

He's a good guy. He's called 'The Gunsmith'.
The description of him from the official site: 

The Gunsmith is an artisan of death. He is a mathematical genius with an acute understanding of physics chemistry and ballistics. This knowledge makes him one of the best shooters in the Fraternity and in the world - grossly outmatching any military sharpshooter.

I don't see any way this movie can be as good as Shoot 'em Up.

You won't know until you see for yourself.

[CHOW CHOW]

I don't see any way this movie can be as good as Shoot 'em Up.

Shoot 'em Up wasn't even that good.  It's like everyone who loved Shoot em up haven't seen any good action flicks.  Wanted will shit all over it.

It is an origin story!

If Wanted is following along the lines of the comic book it originally came from, then EVERYONE is a bad guy.  The plot of the comics was that the villains "won" and there were no more good guys.

Also the main character and the female lead were clearly designed to be Eminem and Halle Berry.  

[Mupepe]

This looks terrible.  I'm sure my friend will convince me to see it.

[Herr Mafflard]

Well it's faithful enough to the comic that it keeps the violence and swearing, thus it's R rated, I believe.

[Raban]

What the fuck do I care about movie reviews? It got a 4/5? WHOA time for the brick-shitting to commence, right? WRONG. It doesn't fucking matter what some jack off says, the trailer showed a scene in the movie where the main character must 'curve' a bullet by swinging the gun around like a fucking idiot. Just as bad, it has a scene where Jolie's character uses a gun that has an LCD viewfinder on it and can bend around corners. THAT MAKES SENSE.

I don't give a shit if it's meant to be over the top. There are right ways to do a badass, mindless action flick, and there are wrongs ways to do one. Wanted is the wrong way.

[Herr Mafflard]

It's a comic-book adaptation, of course it's going to be over the top.

Raban, you do know that LCD gun Angelina Jolie uses exists in real life don't you. Its developed by the Israeli military:




Plus the premise of the film (and comic) is about people with the ability to control bullets. Sure it's mindless, but it's a damn fine excuse to make an action film. I don't think you're giving the film a chance. You're criticising it because its unrealistic? Well, Duh! I'd love to know how you would go about turning this comic (based on people with supernatural abilities) into a live action film.

[Raban]

I don't wanna argue with you about movies, since you have a In Bruges av and I loved that movie, so we see eye-to-eye on that, I assume.

But this movie just looks like a festival of bad acting. Maybe when it hits theaters I'll check it out on impulse, but the trailer made it look really fucking stupid, and all the characters super-pretentious.

Sounds like a Mark Millar story to me!

lul

[Herr Mafflard]

Ok, I'm going to stop defending this film now until it comes out and I see it for myself.

Oh, and Raban, In Bruges does indeed rock.

[Great Rumbler]

I'm really shocked to see it getting such positive early reviews. On the other hand, what I saw of from the trailer and the first seven minutes didn't impress me too much.

[Phoenix Dark]

smh common

[WrikaWrek]

the comic book is a piece of shit

[Himu]

common

[Phoenix Dark]

Common is like the most bitch made rapper ever: how is he getting all these "bald psycho killer/cop" roles?

[youtube=425,350]Y12YgEIFcAY[/youtube]
smh remember this lonny jr? 

[demi]

I thought the trailer was the best thing about seeing WAR, I hope this is good

[Mupepe]

common is a reverse racist homo

[Phoenix Dark]

hahaha

i like the dude for some of his stuff, but yeah, he's a pretty big hypocrite in some respects

[Phoenix Dark]

Yeah. He's all for taking the white man's monies in Hollywood but tries to act like some black power dude. That didn't work for Ice Cube and definitely doesn't work for Common. I don't think he's racist, I just think he shares certain prejudices that many blacks hold. When I see black dudes walking around with the homliest, fattest white chicks they can find you better believe I shake my head. I know I'm in no position to judge people but that rubs me the wrong way, period. It's a shame some people still dance to that mentality of white=right, taking it as far as to date any white chick just because. ugh

/rant

[Raban]

PD I know exactly what you're saying and I ain't even black.
I know a dude with exactly that kind of mentality and even I smh.

@ blacks racist against black women

[fistfulofmetal]

I can't get beyond curving a bullet. I just can't

[Howard Alan Treesong]

It's like when I see white dude walking around with fugly asians! Perhaps our people are not so different after all.

[Phoenix Dark]

GAF is a testament to nerds going after fugly asian chicks just to be with an asian chick. It's a pretty sad mixture of mixing fantasies with perceived social stature "upgrade" sigh. I'm all for interracial dating, but don't be a sap.
