What exactly is wrong with you people? I have watched the Film… and what excatly are you thinking? Were you hoping for a Magnum Opus? Let me just say a few things… First of all, I am neither here to defend the film nor the critic… Its about the outlook a number of you have presented toward the Experience of “WANTED”. 1) Most people on the planet, men and women, have a thing for Angelina Jolie, if not just a healthy regard for the fact that she is a good-looking woman. In that context, why should a critic not point this out, or relish it as his review on a character? When our crtics discuss Aishwary Rai in “Kajra Re” as “Sexy and Seductive”, not a soul bats their eyelids… in such thinking, a complimen for Angelina Jolie, in the same regard is what? Taboo? Oh my! What a double standard, indeed! 2) I don't think this was a rave review of a Hollywood film... it stated it for what it was! Not once did he tell you it was a stunning performance or spectacular script! It was just a Visually Magnificent Wild Ride... And great "MINDLESS" fun! He didn’t, once, claim it was a tour de force. 3) It is based on a comic book, for crying out loud... Raja sen has not claimed that anything was supposed to be based in reality! Bending bullets is not something one can afford to aspire to, Im afraid! Did you question time-lapse bullet sequences in the Matrix? I think, NOT! As far as the "Bollywood" defenders go... the Matrix sequence was r

Like i said... this is not in defence of the film or the critic... but if one chooses to be narrow-minded and unable to understand an alternate opinion...then the less said the better.

no one is saying the film is bad or any thing , they are just saying that if the same antics were to be in an Indian film they will be termed ridiculous , people seem to be partial towards hollywood movies , as for the movie i found this very idiotic, i liked his night watch movies much better than this one

Double standards anyone ? yes very much , its fine if the "hero" in Wanted stops a bullet with a bullet and its fine if the "Hero" fires a gun with a carrot in "Shoot em up", but Rajnikanth : poor guy does something far more believeable than the previous tow and becomes the joke in the mail chain fired across software professionals sitting on the bench ?
hey guys... these crictics dont have a opinion of their own.. whatever crap/scrap/bakwaas comes from hollywood.. they praise it... wanted is one brainless, one of the most stupid movies of recent times... fultoos bakwaasbaazi...i never saw a critic praising an indian movie for its action not even krrish ..actually it was a far better movie... neways wanted sucks big time!
one of the worst movies of recent times. Even our own mithunda, dharampaji, and rajnisaar will do better action than shown in this movie...really world class $h!t movie.... i don't understand the mentality of some people...if thsame action shown in the movie are performed on our own bollywood actors, its called bakwaaas, but accept this $h!t with hollywood actors.......huh

coz it released in south india in the end of July. but like for most people outside south, India starts from above mumbai...sad.
its so lame that u will find rajni movies better .. when our actors like sunny deol dig up a hand pump with bare hands, they are laughed at... while when ms jolie shoots 9 people with one bullet, we say 'awesome action' .. what crap !!
this movie is ok..and probably deserves 3 stars..here raja gives 3 and a half for this average movie and elvis gives 4stars for wall-e, a brillliant movie tat deserves a minimum5..

where are the sci-fi gurus of Hollywood at? The friction of the bullet would not only burn the wings but the whole body of that fly. I feel pity on this film, an utter waste of good subject. Also how misleading the posters are! James McAvoy is the main lead in this movie, and he has been hidden behind butts of Angelina..
