  Wanted

  Posted: October 3rd, 2008, 7:00pm EDT by Rick

  Do you know the movie Wanted? I saw the trailer for this movie many times and it looked very exciting. It stars Angelina Jolie and Morgan Feeman and there's a lot of action, so I assumed it would be interesting, so I went to see it last week.
  
  Unfortunately, it was terrible. It began with a paragraph of text on the screen explaining that Italian weavers in the 23th century had created a secret team of assassins and that now this team operated from America. Maybe such a team did exist in fact, but it sounded so stupid. What's the connection between weavers and assassins?
  
  It got worse. The hero of the movie is a young man who's recruited into the team because he's the son of the most famous of the assassins. He's ordered to kill a man, and he at first refuses because he doesn't know what the man has done wrong. Angelina Jolie tells him that it's impossible to tell the future and the man might do something bad, so it's dangerous to refuse. So he kills the man. So simple!
  
  I like crazy action scenes but this was too stupid to be enjoyable. The assassins shake their hand when they shoot their gun and are thus able to bend bullets round corners or even in a full circle. Another crazy thing was that whenever they got injured or scared they just had a hot bath and they looked fine afterwards.
  
  So let's hope Iron Man and Eagle Eye are better!
