Saw "Wanted" Friday night.

It will inevitably draw comparisons to "The Matrix" for its numerous special effects and style, but the story wasn't nearly as complex.  Still, it was a lot of fun.  A popcorn movie.

I've read the comic by Mark Millar and JG Jones and it is awesome - better than the movie.  Millar relied heavily on symbolism and analogy to create the comic, and the movie is lacking in those areas.  The story, naturally, is also slightly different.  Instead of the movie's Guild of Assassins, the comic is focused around a society of super-villains, known as the Fraternity.  And if you look closely, each of the characters in the book is based on a DC Comics villain.

Anyway, the movie is good, and if you want to see lots of stuff blow up and excessive amounts of violence, then by all means this is the film for you.

In most cases, source material always tends to be better, even if the movie is good.  Except in the case of forrest gump which is considered one of the worst books of all time

A movie references 2001: A Space Oddyssey thus it is as boring as 2001: A Space Oddysey. Vintage Reality . . .

Actually that is not what i wrote at all.  Vintage board twisting.
Anywho it's just a movie, that you and yours enjoyed it is just fine with me.  The vast majority are liking WALL-E.  Some do not.  Is this allowable?

LOL. I just had a flashback to the MAD TV skits where Michael McDonald played a concessions clerk at a movie theater.

P.S. No, it is not allowable.
