Kinda wanted to see this movie before. Now I'm definitely seeing it. Guess I'm a sucker for bullet cam.

Is that in Russian?

Yea. I guess it's OK for Russians to see movie teasers that actually reflect the content of the movie. Us Americans are too emo to handle it.

looks like good fun.

I love that sabot bullet they use in the opener. Too cool.

saw it on friday.  it's ok.  just fun violence.  nothing too intelligent, just senseless dying.  my biggest gripe was they spent too much time in the beginning on how much of a pussy the main character is in his life.  we get the point.  he's a pussy.  that takes like what, 10 mins max?  They spent 30+ mins on it.  

Overall I give it an 85%.  The twist is completely predictable.

Saw it yesterday, it was okay, another movie where Angelina Jolie is the only redeeming feature. They could have chosen a better actor for the male lead I thought.

I felt like they tried to cram a lot of story into a short time span. The story they told could have spanned 3 movies (Bourne style) had they stretched it out more. Instead it ended up crammed in one movie leaving me feeling like the story was pretty disjointed, and it did not give me enough time to give a shit about any of the characters.

The action sequences were cool.

But like Gimgi said, the movie tired to do to much.

The thing that bothered me the most was where they got the names of their targets.

I was really, that is it, really?

You can curve bullets and yet you are ok with getting your name from that source.

I guess I was more correct than I thought with the multi-movie storyline. http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Wanted-Becoming-A-Trilogy-9375.html

Just saw it today. Delivered exactly what I expected and wanted. I'm not sure where the complaints are coming from -- I didn't find the opener overly drawn out, and I don't feel like they were trying to do too much with the pacing. Great action sequences, plenty of hotness from Angelina. Thumbs up.
