Wanted...
WAS AWESOME!!!!!!
Okay, yeah, I’m doing a review.
So, I just got back about an hour ago from seeing it with my family, and everyone was thanking me for conning…ahem, I mean convincing them to see it. And trust me, it was well deserved.
That movie is seriously worth all the hype, no lie. James McAvoy is the highlight of the movie as Wesley Gibson, an office drone who is underappreciated by everyone in his life, including his best friend, who is blatantly banging his girlfriend, and his staple-happy annoying boss. This isn’t the extent of his character, but I don’t want to spoil EVERYTHING.
That actually sounded like a real review, didn’t it? Okay, I’ll keep going.
Morgan Freeman is in rare form. I’m beyond impressed with his performance, and that fracking plot twist!!!!
If you haven’t seen the movie yet, don’t worry, I won’t spoil it for you. Wikipedia has already done that if you’re interested.
ANYWAY, Morgan Freeman plays Sloan, the head of the Fraternity and the interpreter of the Loom of Fate (more on this later; depends on if I deem it a spoiler or not.)
Angelina Jolie…what can I say about her that hasn’t already been said?
She was one of the highlights of the movie, honestly. Kudos to Timur Bekmambetov (the director), and Dean Georgaris (one of the writers) for that kickass intro. Jolie plays Fox, a devoted follower of the Fraternity, which is a secret society of asassins who carry out the orders of Fate through a magical loom, i.e, the Loom of Fate.
It sounds preposterous, I know, but trust me, the special effects and the fight scenes more than make up for it.
I have to say that I do agree with Mr. Roeper in his review of the movie:
“The way to enjoy this film is to put your logic on hold, along with any higher sensitivities that might be vulnerable and immerse yourself as if in a video game…Objectively, I award it all honors for technical excellence.”
McAvoy and cast, I give thee a STANDING OVATION!!!!!
WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay I’m done. Go see it, trust me, you’ll love it.
