    Wanted

    Trailer is up. Reminds me a lot of the show Chuck, except the guy actually becomes badass in the end. Oh, and Morgan Freeman fires a bullet that curves around an obstacle to hit the target directly behind it, dead center bullseye. Without even taking any time to aim. I kid you not.

    They have magical gun powers!

    I'm curious, but if this is the best they've got...

    Choose your destiny?

    Really? That's the tone they went with?

    That's going to suck.

    Ubisoft should sue for infringing (and shitting on) their property. What a terrible trailer.

    Wow...that trailer makes "Hitman" look like an Oscar winner in comparison.

    The comic book series was awful. I never understood why it got opped to be made into a film.

    The comic book started strong, then got all kinds of horrible. And it looks like they took alll the interesting parts of the comic out and shit on them.

    Ok, the first issue wasn't bad but it fell quickly.

    What? You're high. The comic was great, as long as you didn't take it any more seriously than it took itself. It was very much a black comedy.

    That being said, this looks nothing like the comic book. This looks like another League of Extraordinary Gentlemen-style adaptation.

    I thinks you may be the the high one here. The comic sucked all kinds of ass. It was horrible. Just awful...and I like Mark Millar (don't start).

    Seems like Hollywood is all ga-ga over shitty comics - 30 Days of Night, the black suit/Venom spiderman, Wanted...what's next? Preacher? Hitman?

    Wanted the comic series had a bit too much self-indulgent wankery. But at least it killed alot of super heroes.

    This just has the wankery.

    I like the shot of the guy coming through the glass that molds itself to him.

    BADASS.

    But the sideways slide that gets the kid into the car? That's not even stylishly dumb: it's just dumb.
