Comments on: Wanted’s Mark Millar Has A Lot to F*cking Say, People http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/wanteds-mark-millar-has-a-lot-to-fcking-say-people.php A Website About Movies Tue, 14 Feb 2012 06:57:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: efrain http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/wanteds-mark-millar-has-a-lot-to-fcking-say-people.php/comment-page-1#comment-99131 efrain Wed, 25 Jun 2008 01:14:59 +0000 http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/?p=7719#comment-99131 I saw Wanted last week at a press/advanced screening. It's okay. I don't know anything about the comic, though. There were some cool action sequences involving the bullet- bending and car chases, but some of the effect of the scenes were dulled because the preview shows them off. By the story's end, or rather, around plot point 2, the movie seems almost ridiculous. And you realize that the movie isn't a solid story, just an entertaining package of visual stimulus. Wanted does provide enough to talk about regarding religious references and symbolism. I don't know if it's in the original comic, but there's something going on in the plot that feels like a give-up-on-humanity-and-fate-or-god(s), take-hold-of- your-destiny, inverted Jesus and the Disciples, Judas as Savior kinda thing going on. And that's probably giving it too much credit :) :: efrain I saw Wanted last week at a press/advanced screening. It’s okay. I don’t know anything

I mean, its not like he wants us to think he loves this so his pay day is bigger, right? Right?
