I must say only two things... "Whoa!" and "It's not that Wanted!".

Way to bear zero resemblence to the comics! t:

 

[Hunter Rider]

 

[Johnichi Chiba]

Very cool visuals, but this movie shouldn't be called Wanted.

 

[Carlo Comicus]

This is not Wanted...

 

[K.B.]

Just when you couldn't think this movie could get any worse they release pics of it.


Brings a whole new meaning to "in name only"

 

[Hunter Rider]

Love the shot of Angie hanging out the window blasting. i didn't like the book so all i care about is it being a cool action movie.

I've never read WANTED, but I have flipped through the graphic novel in barnes and nobles, what the hell are these pics of? Cause they sure aren't wanted the graphic novel, the story only slightly sounds the same.

 

[Retroman]

Cool pics!

Though i haven't read the book yet (i'm planning to get it) the little i've seen online of the source material doesn't seem to look much like what's been presented in the movie. Sucks for Wanted fans.

This looks more like an American version of Nightwatch than anything.

the pic of morgan freeman is kiind of cool

I think I pretty much agree with that. It isn't the first time that Hollywood has butchered a film, and it certainly won't be the last, so who the hell cares if we get a straight up action film?

 

[Anti-Moderator]

If that's the case....then why the hell even call it WANTED? Can't they just make a straight up action film without dropping the ball on what could have been a great concept for a film? I don't agree with the whole "let's just take what they give us" theory.....but that's just me.

The film is called 'Wanted' because the plot, however subtle, is derived from the graphic novel.

 

[tyler-durden]

It looks nothing like the graphic novel, do they even have the same bad guy.

 

[Devastator138]

Well it looks like he is remaking Nightwatch

 

[tyler-durden]

it does and I never even seen Nightwatch

 

[Anti-Moderator]

Ah...so that's what we are accepting now....as long as it's "subtle" they can slap a name on it and it's good to go? This is not a movie based on WANTED when it only resembles the source in name(s) only.

The Badguy is Mr. X.....he's the dude in the pic busting through the mirror/glass/whatever.

 

[tyler-durden]

Yeah, I know, but was he the bad guy in WANTED the graphic novel?

 

[Hunter Rider]

As far as accepting goes, i am not accepting anything, i don't like the book so i am merely following this as an action movie called Wanted, I never thought the book could be adapted as it has no character that has any redeeming qualities, only way it could happen is if some studio decided to make a 100 million dollar NC-17 movie.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Yeah, I know, but was he the bad guy in WANTED the graphic novel?

No, Mr Rictus was.

 

[Anti-Moderator]

Yeah, I know, but was he the bad guy in WANTED the graphic novel?

Well....the bad guys were actually the main characters in the story, but I guess the biggest bad guy was Mr. Rictus.

thank you, that's all i wanted to know. I never read the graphic novel either hunter rider, but i'm saying if you going to do something like WANTED you have to stick to the source material.

I'm not saying there should not be changes for the movie....but IMO the redeeming qualities that should have been in the movie were the comicbook aspects and the twist that supervillains have beaten the superheroes and are controling the world behind the scenes....a pathetic loser not only finds out this other world exists...but he is connected to it. I agree with what you are saying...there is no way a studio would/could make an AUTHENTIC WANTED film, but this is the extreme opposite of that which, to me, is worse.
