No BATMANFilms, you weren't first, and you now look like an ass.

The movie on the other hand is looking awesome and I can't wait. Just worried about how far from the source it is.

WANTED also isn't first. Another ass. It amuses me whenever someone aims for first.

I know some people are quite skeptical about this movie but I think it looks pretty good. Its got Mark Millar's blessing and I think they've done the best film they could without going too far into supervillainy.

ahhh The Matrix?....jk. Anything w/ Jolie I'll check out!!!!


Posted by: Johnny Boy on June 3, 2008 at 18:22:12

looks cool. at the same time looks kind of Matrix-like... people will definitely draw comparisons in their reviews when the film comes out.


Posted by: fronk on June 3, 2008 at 18:29:01

yeah it does kinda look like the matrix...but this film actually looks like it might be good.

haha no i did not like the matrix and the reason behind it, Keanu Reeves...freakin will smith turned down the role

wanted in name only, if they had named it something else it would have been a movie I could have enjoyed, but thinking about the awesome graphic novel, and the fact that they changed almost everything except the first 15-20 minutes really bugs me

Lame.

Still seems like any other action movie to me, think ill wait for the dvd. would have been better if it was like the comic, hopefully it is, heres what the plot of the comic was:The premise of Wanted is that all the world's super-villains decided to band together in 1986 and use their vast collective powers — including mad science, magic and mind control — to eliminate all the world's superheroes and rewrite reality in their own dark image. Prior to this the world was a brighter, more hopeful place (a clear reference to the end of the Silver Age).[citation needed] Superheroes are remembered as fiction (as they are in the real world), and behind the scenes a cabal of the leading super-villains runs the entire world.

"Mama's boy" Wesley Gibson discovers that his recently-assassinated father was a super-criminal called The Killer, and that Wesley has inherited his perfect aim and uncanny skill with any weapon. Wesley enters a new life, and must deal with the most dangerous and evil people in the world — whose ranks now include Wesley himself. After being approached by the Fox, another super-villain, Wesley quits his job and joins the Fraternity, the super-villain society's moniker. After a period of training, in which Wesley is desensitized to violence and given to repine of any nature, Wesley severs the last links to his previous life. (He breaks up with his girlfriend, knowing she cheated on him with his best friend, who he simply killed.) Wesley becomes the right hand of the super scientist Professor Seltzer, who is a member of the leading council of the Fraternity.

At a council meeting, the main antagonist, Mister Rictus, calls a vote that the Fraternity come forward as the ruling body of the Earth, which is defeated narrowly, thanks to the hypnotic manipulation of Professor Seltzer. Mister Rictus, tired of hiding in the shadows, has Professor Seltzer executed and marks the Fox and Wesley for death. Wesley assaults the Fraternity's headquarters, killing many of the villains as well as Mister Rictus. After killing him, Wesley finds his father alive and well. The original Killer explains that he faked his death and got Wesley to join the Fraternity to make Wesley into a man. He explains Wesley's childhood was essentially carried by his mother, who encouraged him to never fight under any circumstances, knowing that his instincts as the Killer would come forward. After telling Wesley of instances where he'd visit Wesley as he slept, he asks Wesley to kill him, explaining that he's getting old and slow, that he "nearly missed a head shot at under a mile." Wesley obliges after resisting, and tells the Fox that he's returning to his former life of misery and oppression, not wanting to die like his father. After expressing incredible disbelief, the Fox realizes he's joking, and they depart for the headquarters of the Fraternity, now under his partial leadership.(WIKIPEDIA.COM)

COOL! I want to murder people just like that!!!


Posted by: Bapman on June 3, 2008 at 19:38:05

Dear god !!! Why do morons like Movie Maniac make such long comments !?
Is your life really so lame and pathetic that by making a long post u think ur doing something!?
Infact who here actually READ his crap!?


Posted by: TPJR on June 3, 2008 at 19:41:06

Awesome, they shouldn't have waited so long to show this trailer... I think they could have gotten more people psyched about it.


Posted by: Felixtc on June 3, 2008 at 19:52:16

Agreed Bapman. Morons like Movie Maniac need to get over the fact that this is not exactly like the comic and enjoy it for what it is. And it seems with each trailer there are a lot more people looking to dig this movie...at last, the *****ing may be coming to an end.


Posted by: KILL ALL FIRSTERS on June 3, 2008 at 19:56:34

Dark-Claw and Garrett, thank you for being men amongst little boys.


Posted by: Mastergreg2k8 on June 3, 2008 at 20:00:17

wow this movie is going to be crazy cool bad ass
YO LONNIE STOP READING THIS


Posted by: Red Mask on June 3, 2008 at 20:07:46

Greatest twist since "Soylent Green". At least, I hope it will be.


Posted by: kirbzilla on June 3, 2008 at 20:10:52

Hey Bapman I read it!


Posted by: orange cinema on June 3, 2008 at 21:36:18

yeah, the really could've seperated this film from the pack if they would've used the supernatural element from the comics. looks cool, but could've been really more unique.


Posted by: Drunken Monk on June 3, 2008 at 21:43:50

Ok, now I'll watch it....


Posted by: M on June 3, 2008 at 21:50:01

i wonder how many times other than the three in the trailer we will see the "curve a bullet" technique.

now taking bets!
