May 8, 201110now we have to ask ourselves,why do we watch a movie? And the answer would be entertainment. Of which this movie provides lots of it,that would leave you begging for more. So if you are looking for a sexy,awesome,solid base actioneer,then wanted is the one you want.

RyanD.Jul 8, 200810What the fuck is wrong with you people? I'll tell you; you have forgotten how to enjoy yourself. Yes, it was nonsensical and whatnot, but that's not what the fuck it's about, is it? It's an action film, and at that it was absolutely spectacular. You better learn to have fun again soon, or you people are going to die unhappy.

julieh.Jul 20, 20089I was thrilled ... Didn't know much about the movie other than that Jolie was in it ... was on the edge of my seat the entire movie ... It was the first movie in a while that I didn't mind spending the $ on

VeronikaC.Jul 1, 200810Thanks, Hollywood, for giving this director, Timur Bekmambetov, the opportunity to share his extremely creative visionary talent. I've never seen action sequences like this before - two thumbs up!! Go Russia!!!!

ChristopherK.Jun 27, 20089The best action shooter since Shoot Em Up, the best mix of comedy since Fight Club, the most fun movie experience I've had in a while. The plot was marginal, the concepts shaky, however the execution and style was dead on.

TylerG.Jun 27, 20089A great action film with a storyline better than it could have been equals a solid 8.5 for me. This movie was all it needed to be and a little more.
-
-
NaomiG.Jun 28, 20089Completely unbelieveable action, yet it happens before your eyes in a fluid motion that entertains your mind and thorws you for a loop. Awesome twists throughout the film. Riveteing.

JamesJ.Jun 29, 20089Just a solid intense movie.
-
-
JessS.Jun 30, 20089A great popcorn summer action movie. Lots of fun and a marvelous performance by James McAvoy. He stands out much like Robert Downey Jr. did in Iron Man. A must see for true action fans.

StephanC.Jul 11, 20089Really sharp and fast movie.It has lots of adrenaline and that is what I was looking for in a good action movie.Haters are just not that into action movies.
-
-
PatrickC.Jul 1, 200810Amazing action sequences and wonderful imagination. I hope to see more movies from director Bekmambetov in the future - he's a real visionary, and Hollywood NEEDS him!!

RazvanT.Jul 1, 20089Definatly one of the best movies of the year. A action-thriller that pretty much has everything it needs.With little plot exceptions it's a excellent movie.

RobertF.Jul 22, 20089Great film, acting was brill and the effects and stunts were amazing.
-
-
NickJul 3, 20089Great fun, silly, and full of over exaggerated action that was actually good compared to most movies that try to pull this stuff off.
-
-
JessEJul 3, 20089Good action movie. James McAvoy did a heck of a job in this movie and will be a household name by the time this film ends its run. Now as for a sequel I am sure we won't be having Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie back will we. So I suppose this is a James McAvoy franchise vehicle.

MattD.Aug 2, 200810The best action movie ive seen in a long time. Besides Dark Knight.
-
-
JasonS.Aug 4, 20089I went in with low expectations and was greatly surprised at how good the movie was. It's not as good at the 1st Matrix (which I use as the gold standard) but it's probably the best action movie I've seen in a really long time.

getmeoutofhereOct 11, 20099A nice movie although not the best movie ever made but still a decent watch.

maxjMar 7, 200910I can't believe it. if this isn't known as a cult classic then it must be honoured for something. where else will you see a movie as awesome as this.
-
-
[Anonymous]Aug 2, 20099Jag, it's a freaking movie. Don't take it seriously. Anyways, what were you expecting? Schindler's List? This is a fun movie that I definitely recommend.

AnthonyD.Jun 24, 200810Getting in early to see this movie has made my summer! If you're lookin for action, you can stop looking...

TaratornP.Jun 26, 20089Apart from those poor rat bombs, Wanted is Superb! Interesting story, packed with extreme action and special effects. Those bullets will definitely hit your mind. And to be honest, Angelina rocks!!!
-
-
soulsrfJun 27, 200810Awesome! Fresh scenes from start to finish. Very original story!!! Go and see it TWICE!!
-
-
PaulK.Jun 27, 20089Yes, the rat bombs were a terrible plot point, but otherwise this was a blast. The special effects were top notch, the twist in the middle was great and James McAvoy was superb as always. The ending should have contained a cliffhanger for a full on franchise. Wanted deserves as much and more. Great!
-
-
DavidR.Jun 27, 20089An AMAZING action flick that takes you on a wild rollercoaster ride. The actors hit all the right notes in terms of their acting. The Story could have done without the whole "fate" aspect, but that's just me. Anyway, see this film for the stylish action. This is a great summer flick!

JayJ.Jun 28, 20089It was a great movie action packed and well filmed.

ChuckY.Jun 28, 20089great, exhilarating movie, especially the ending
-
-
JohnW.Jun 29, 200810Excellent flick!! Reminded me of the Matrix, but even better.
-
-
RichardB.Jun 29, 20089The overall concept is woven very well within the action of the film, not over shadowing the characters and not so vague that the film eventually becomes dull or too predictable. Nice shot of Angelina's tattoos
-
-
JustinM.Jun 29, 200810Excellent movie, very funny although there is a very absurd plot this movie is the most enjoyable of this year.
-
-
ScottF.Jun 29, 200810As absurd as this movie may be at some times, it just plain works. The movie never takes itself too seriously, and the effects, action, and story have enough punch and pizzazz to keep almost anyone entertained.

-
ericdJul 1, 20089You do need to suspend belief before watching this movie, but since when does an element of fantasy make a movie bad? I'm not even into violence in my movies. I completely and thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It isn't perfect, but it was very well made, great cast with very good chemistry. Pure escapist fun, big time. Great job.

NickBrenJul 9, 200810it was amazing beyond belief.

-
WayneEAug 3, 20089This movie was a good blend of Fight Club + Matrix in terms of both plot and action. A lot of humor worked into unexpected places. It is nice and shallow, so doesn't require a lot of attention. I enjoyed myself.
-
-
MagsRSep 6, 200810Really nice movie! Yes,really violent and yes, not exactly for everyone but if you like action, good acting, original story and good ending...this movie is for you. Waiting for Wanted 2.
-
-
GavinS.Nov 8, 200810I started to watch this film with a low expectation. was greatfully surprised. I thought this was a brilliant action "shoot em up". all the characters were well suited and played. I cant see how people can not like it. people who gave it a 0 obviously do not know a good film when they have seen one.
-
-
JeffMJun 28, 200810Solid movie, good plot, and one of the best lines i have ever heard any actor say.
-
-
MarcE.Jun 28, 200810I did not expect to like this film at all. Went on the basis of strong reviews and was not disappointed. A fututre classic of the violent popcorn flick genre.
-
-
PeterK.Jul 17, 200810Great action flick based on a comic story. Unrealistic plot but like any other comic plot, that is to be expected. Non-stop action.
-
-
CiaranDec 3, 200910This was an amazing movie, full of action and over the top. The plot was fantastic, and ridiculous, and it took me a while after the movie to realise that it wasn't possible. An absorbing film that is very fun to watch. very fun.

Feb 24, 201310Let me start out by saying that I no way endorse ANYTHING Angelina Jolie is in, however wanted is impossible, ridiculous, and one hell of a ride! We don't watch movies to experience the predictable or only what's possible. Wanted is exciting, well written, full of twists, and well worth the price of admission.
-
100This over-the-top, ultraviolent, hyperkinetic action thriller pretty much has it all.
-
80Like it or not, Wanted pretty much slams you to the back of your chair from the outset and scarcely lets up for the duration.
-
90It takes about an hour after it's over for the heart to slow, the brain to recalibrate, and the nonsensicalness of the thing to sink in.
