Rapid Review: Wanted
So it's official: Wanted was pretty awful.
I think it's rare that the experience of watching a movie is so boring and frustrating that even some brief Angelina Jolie nudity (or that of a body double, I'm not sure) doesn't make up for it.
This was that experience.
But here's the thing: I didn't think the effects were bad or ridiculous. I just thought the script was crap, the original work was tweaked just enough for it not to be as interesting and it was carried out poorly. Also, the soundtrack was just awful.
Ech.
