Maybe you meant proof that Wanted will suck ass.
As in, saying the action in this movie looks absurd is like looking at the Shire and saying, "Nope, that's dumb -- Orcs do not exist."
And there have been plenty of great movies based on graphic novels Brian... Wanted just doesn't look to be one of them.
I guess if your into eating disorders and tats.
Some people like marking up there body with GPS coordinates and other bs that means nothing, but not me.
Funny how one picture crops off Jolies forhead so you just get those dsl lips.
Work it baby work it!!
What does Pitt see in this mess??
It is true -- I am into eating disorders and tats.
As well, I like remakes of 60s TV shows that are allegedly "not like the original"... :P
As for the movie, while I recognize its comic roots (and read a lot of comics), I also think their is too much CGI going on and, as a weapons fan, putting designs on your bullets totally ruins your flight stability, I mean come on!
The curve ball bullets are comical.
Women-can't-drive-with-their-hands jokes aside, if it takes that much suspension of disbelief to get into a movie, maybe you should be checking out biographies and Ken Burns's work instead.
The comparison to The Matrix is a good one, since Wanted is a lot like it. Boring drone job, secret history, awesome stunts. Plus, the main character is a lot like Bullseye with perfect aim.
Seriously, though, if we're going to start arguing that superhero (or supervillain in this case) movies should be "realistic", we might as well pack up shop and head home.
In the mean time, someone explain to me how everything is in Grayscale in Schindler's List. Now that's a trippy world. Colors don't exist! How unrealistic.
The trailers dont hint at that at all, so I feel like maybe they cut it, and then the unrealistic stuff is just that - unrealistic in an otherwise "normal" world.
But if supervillians actually exist and they toss a nod to that there are super people, then I'll look past the CGI bullet bending.
I'm not really that interested in this particular film, but it's not because of the non-adherence to the laws of physics. It's more due to the fact that it's just another in a long line of graphic novel/comicbook movie interpretations that is going to fall far short of the original book version. 'Course, that always happens when you make a book into a movie.
Complaining about the "unrealism" is absurd. That's the whole point of the movie.
Commando is a perfect example. Its pretty ridiculous. Unlimited ammo in his guns, throwing saw blades, big explosions, one man army. But he doesn't curve bullets or jump through shatter proof glass and fly 50 feet out of a street or whatever the hell is going on.
There is a difference between exaggeration and a complete disregard of the entire movie. Some movies exaggerate well (Commando, Bad Boys II, Terminator 2, et al) and some movies step just far enough into the absurd it turns people off (Crank, Shoot Em Up, Wanted Trailer).
I will see this movie at some point, but honestly I dont like the look of it/the style so far, and bullet curving is just plain stupid.
its kinda like Last Action Hero with arnold...there was a difference between before the kid went into the movie and when he was in it. when he was in it, everything was over the top action. out, it was back to normal life where 1 bullet can kill.
and dont base everything of a movie from the trailer. i know its hard not to because thats all you get to see before the movie is actually released, but i went to the NYC Comic Con with a buddy of mine and we saw some scenes from Wanted...more then the public has seen to date...and also heard the director speak/take q&a...
prior to this i agree with some of you about the car scenes and some of the action, but after seeing these "extended" scenes, im totalling convinced this movie will kick major ass. granted, if you dont like the kind of "over the top" action that it presents, your not gunna like it. but dont say its not gunna be a good watch. it might not be your cup of tea but that doesnt mean you can say its crap.
and crank/shoot em up were "ridiculous?" you dont like action movies huh Rob Hunter? or are you the kinda person that wants believable action?
please remember opinions are opinions. if you dont like something, you dont like it. i thought crank and shoot em up were pretty kick ass action movies....i LOVED the "absurd" over the top action. i felt they pulled it off just right.
i can see your basing your opinion SOLEY off of the trailer and its unforunate you do this. have more of an open mind. the entire plot isnt going to be told to you in the trailer.
That's an interesting comment given how many trailers now give away so much of the movie that it kills the experience.
Personally, I can look past curving bullets and what not if it fits the world of the story. My issue with Wanted is that it looks completely and totally charmless -- as if it lacks any redeeming sense of soul or character. Perhaps it's just poor marketing/badly cut trailer, but the movie simply looks like an assembly-line action film. I just don't see anything to care about.
itll be better then the trailers show trust me
