Wanted: It's the movie the Wachoski Brothers could only dream to make!

    I really enjoyed the badly dubbed over sex scene in "Taking Lives."

    I appreciated 'Gia' for its nudity, but I didn't think much of the movie.
    I never thought much of 'Girl, Interrupted' either.

    I just thought of another good movie Jolie was in - 'Pushing Tin.'

    Just got back from it. Like TigerVols says, the action scenes are pretty kick-ass. The meager crowd at my show was cheering out loud. I've never been a big fan of Jolie, but, damn, she is one sexy mama! I think I enjoyed Iron Man more, but WANTED definitely had some great moments.

    Saw it tonite. Wow. Just... wow. Action scenes are truly amazing, and graphic as hell. Naked Jolie ass, to boot (tho, I'd never boot it). Here's my shocker of the nite -- understand, plenty of rough language and bullets transitting heads in slo-mo. Then, when filing out, I see jackass parents with kid (6-7 years old) in tow. I actually said "WTF are you bringing a kid to this for?" loud enuf that dad heard. I got a dirty look. Dipshit.

    The movie is so over the top that I laughed -- multiple times, including in the end when all the assassins had McAvoy surrounded and, if you've seen it, you know what happens.

    Still, it was a good time.

    I'm intrigued now. I have to admit - Over time, I've grown to realize you people are generally dead on with movies.

    just saw it with the girlfriend. great flick. loved the Jolie ass-shot. But think McAvoy carried this movie. Though, I love Morgan Freeman in anything he does.
    Loved the visuals of Iron Man, the action of Hulk, and this was just a great shoot-em-up type of film.
    Might be the first summer movie i decide to see a second time.

    I did not leave the theater after watching "Wanted" with an erection like TigerVols did. I was disappointed. Maybe I'll give it another try when it's on DVD.

    I saw it today. Fantastic effects. Worth going to the theater just to see those on the big screen.

    I'm not sure anybody other than McAvoy acted. Morgan Freeman and Angie seemed to be portraying themselves or at least the characters they're always cast as.

    The DVD will be mine, and yes, partially because of the shot of Angie. Phenomenal tat work on that woman.

    My price of admission was paid off in hearing Morgan Freeman say, "motherfucker."
