So I just got back from watching Wanted… I’m not going to say I didn’t like it, because I did. It just left me feeling a little awkward. I think this quote describes how I felt walking out of there, “It was like a reach around, then I turned around and it was from a guy… now everyone feels a bit awkward” (Please note that I was on a 4way man date, but noone reached for anything).

If I had to sum up the movie for someone going to see it it’d be like this:

“Dude… y’know what’d be cool… if people could shoot bullets and bend them…”
“Yeah, that’d be awesome, let’s make a movie about it!”
“Yeah sweet. We better make sure Angelina Jolie is in it.”

I’m not going to spoil the ending or story line twists or anything, but I will list my favourite and least favourite parts.

FavBits:

• Angelina Jolie getting out of the bath
• Angelina Jolie pashing the guy in slow motion for about 45 seconds
• The main guy smashing the keyboard across his mates face.

Least fav:

• When they flip the cop cars (cool) and land on the bus (still cool) then they magically do a mono/wheelie off the bus and land smoothly on their rear wheels (stupid – made me question my sexuality).
• The bit where the train snapped off and they were in the carriage that crashed ~50m down into a cliff, and survived easily
• The last line of the movie “What have YOU done today?”… Well I sat next to a really fat guy on the train home, and I ate schnitzel, then I went to watch a movie that was almost great, but in the end, just ok…

Overall I didn’t mind it, but it wasn’t nearly as cool as I thought it would be.
