Wanted Trailer Makes Me Want the Comic

Friday, November 2nd, 2007 at 12:16 am by Jami

As awesome as the Wanted trailer is, as sexy and bad ass and Angelina Jolie looks, and the fact that it’s got Morgan Freeman and James McAvoy, the trailer makes me want to go right now and grab the trade because I simply cannot wait to see what the fuck happens! I know this is an unintentional result, but I’m really excited to read the comic now!

Of course, I will be seeing this in the theater in March. It’s going to be quite awesome.

    If you wish to enjoy the movie, don’t read the trade. The movie looks like it is missing the main selling point of the comic which was the protagonist was the villain.
    Eh, this is why I am glad they did not make a movie based on Preacher.

    That sounds like just the kind of plot twist they’d keep from the general public. Hope they keep it in the story. But it still looks pretty bad ass. J must see!!

    The trailer looks very Matrix-ish, some every-day-joe-office-worker gets trained by a black man and a hot chick to become a hero figure, there are even the slow motion bullet and glass breaking scenes… It also looks like they took out all the SUPER villain power in the comic and replaced them with semi plausible weapon technologies. So far I am not liking it =\

    Well now I definitely have to pick up the trade. I want to see just what they’ve done with the original source material. Even if I like the movie, I usually end up liking the comic all that much more.

    Be prepared, Wanted shows not only a world where the villains win, but a world where they have won.

    Right from the get go, I knew that they wouldn’t have been able to replicate the comic. The morality is so F****ed up in places I wonder why it wasn’t banned. I suppose it’s just a sign of the times, in the seventies there was no way in hell anything like this could have seen the light of day. The eighties is doubtfull. With that in mind, there was no way they could make a movie failhfull to the comic book. There would be all kinds of angry mothers shouting all over the place. Angry fathers too I assume.
    This looks more like the legion of kinda cool anti heros than the legion of Demented Psychos out to kill you and your family as an afterthought, just because nobody will stop them. And given the choice, a movie about the latter would be more entertaining, or at least more bad ass.

    And it should have been Halle Berry not Jolie. it just should have.
