Wanted

So today, I saw another new movie, and I have to say, I really hate matinee times at my local theater.  People are just so annoying, like this lady who kept commenting on the various parts of the movie, such as the actors/characters and the action sequences.   Why do these people exist?  Why can't people just realize that when you're in a movie theater, you are supposed to watch the movie and be a little respectful of people around you?

The movie that I got the chance to watch was Wanted, the new film starring Angelina Jolie, James McAvoy, and Morgan Freeman.  Quite frankly, this movie made me want to go around and start shooting things (not that I would, only because I'm pretty sure the stunts that were attempted in this movie could not actually happen in real life).  

The film starts with a weird tone, where we meet a random guy who can run at a super fast speed and can jump from the window of one skyscraper to another one across the street.  I had  my doubts at this moment, because it seemed like some weird Matrix ripoff.  

However, even though there are a lot of similarities between the two, the films couldn't be more different.  After this exciting moment, we meet Wesley, a depressed accountant with a tiny cubicle, suffocating boss, and an unfaithful girlfriend.  His life is a monotonous cycle of work and anxiety attacks.  He is on a downward spiral, until he meets Angelina Jolie in a drugstore, where he gets stuck in the middle between her character and Cross, the villain.  He gets taken to a weird building where he learns about who he is and what he has to do.  

From this point onward, the spectators get to experience a lot of action.  I'm not going to give any more away, because that will just ruin it.  If you are into action sequences, this is the movie to see.  There are numerous scenes that are pure exhilaration and violence, with cool slow motion moments and bullet piercings.  Even though it is shown in the trailer, there isn't any romantic connection between Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy, so don't expect too much.  (Sorry, I just had to address it in case you were looking forward to it)

Two tips before you go out and see it: It's rated R for a reason, so make sure whoever is with you will be mature enough to handle it.

Don't say obnoxious things, such as, "Wow, Angelina Jolie is so pretty" or "That was such a cool gun move."  People around you will hate you, and I say that in the nicest way possible.
