Last time i checked rottentomatoes it was 100% after 11 reviews.
I personally hate eye candy action movies so i most likely wont like it.

It's still at 100% at RT with 12 reviews. It should start coming down soon when more reviews come in.

Morgan Freeman, plus some innovate action... Whats not to like? :-P

Definitely going to see this and Wall-E when I get the chance (I work the weekends so it's tough).

Eye candy action.
Just trying to impress people with tricks does not make a good action movie imo.

Rambo was eye candy action and that was a brilliant film, hollywood films can be good but you just have to be in that zone where you dont care for story you just want an enjoyable movie.

Rambo isnt eye candy action.
Eye candy action is people doing ridicously impossible things that are not fun like in Transporter 2 when he knocked the bomb off his car by fliping it over and aiming exactly right so a crane knocks it off. Ridiculous not fun.
1st transporter was fun.

I could report this but i wont because i believe in free speech.
No thanks i try to stay away from Ang Lee movies.
Im not hating im just trying to point out something.
If its bothering you im sorry and i will stop now.
I will most likely see this movie anyway.

Jester I get ya, same reason why I'm weary of this too. That scene in Transporter 2 had me go OH WHAT THE HELL MAN YOU SERIOUS???!! Totally and completely impossible I wish he would have just jumped out or something. Rambo(and I'm a HUGE rambo fan) was meh. The blood and .50 Cal sections were nifty as all hell, but other than that meh. Either way Angelina Jolie is SO ****ING HOT OMG, its like shes getting better with age. Morgan Freeman's the man too so I might so see this.

Eye candy action.
Just trying to impress people with tricks does not make a good action movie imo.Alright, true enough. I'll have to see the movie to fully judge though. I'm hoping this shooting a bullet around an object isn't as cheesy as I first thought it was. However the tricks look cool to me.

And for the record Jason Statham jumping out of a building and landing on a car pretty much completely unharmed.... is really ridiculous.

Which Jason Statham movie are you refering to?
Also as i mentioned before there can be ridiculous action thats fun to watch and not be considered eye candy. Wanted could be fun but looking at the trailers it could be eye candy and thats all im trying to point out in my last few posts.

I scoffed at this movie after seeing JAMES MCAVOY?!?!? (Mr. Tumnus!) and some of the scenes in the trailer. But watching the trailers again at the Hulk movie, I have to say it's growing on me, still though...JAMES MCAVOY?!?!

Ok, so Wanted dropped pretty hard. It's at 76% right now with 38 reviews, Wall-E is at 93% with 15 reviews. I wonder if Wanted will finished 2nd or 3rd in the weekend box office.

I have no idea what to rate this movie.
I just watched it and i will just try to describe it without spoilers.
-Story wasnt original.
-Pacing was pretty good.
-Great special effects.
-Half the action was eye candy but the other half (mainly the last 30 minutes of the movie) was epic awesome so it cancels each other out.
-Great ending.

For now i will give it an 8/10

I'm not a reviewer, so...

I liked it a lot and at the same time left a bit disappointed. The special effects were amazing, but the story/plot could have used some... Angel Jolie was amazing in looks and part.

8/10

8.5/10, it had some really good comedy at times as well as good action. But my favorite scene was the one with Angelina Jolie walking out of the bathtub :)

I like it. A lot of action and rumor elements to the film. However, Jolie lacks a little personality to her character in the movie. But she is still sexy though. Other than that, I would give the movie a 8/10

i enjoyed it, the story was pretty appauling, it was almost as OTT as XXX and angelina jolie has got to skinny but there was a half decent twist and the action scenes were super cool... oh and it has angelina jolie!

7/10
