I saw Wanted, after hearing from several people that it was awesome.
Naturally, I waited till I had the opportunity to watch it in Bluray on my friend's 50 something inch TV plus sound system.
I did not like it. The whole movie had me screaming in my head at the lack of concern for physics (the bullet bending thing was ridiculous).
Everybody was being way too bad ass. Sometimes I don't need characters to always have balls the size of grapefruits all the time, even Angelina.
I know it was based on a comic book, but since I heard that the comic book's writer is satisfied with this, I probably will not read it.
Morgan Freeman has a similar personality in every movie.
The only thing that I liked was the sniper scenes. And they were somewhat possible. Bullet going in a circle trajectory, though, no thanks.
2/10. And I don't even think Jolie is that hot. Suck it, Hollywood.

Watched The Prestige, was excited to see what Nolan/Bale had done before Batman, and Jackman isn't a bad actor either.
I liked it a lot. It's told in a non-linear narrative, with parts that are excerpts from each magician's journal, and like a magic trick, you have to watch very closely to understand. It's probably not a bad idea to watch it twice.
And it raises some interesting questions about illusionists that are obsessed with their jobs, how far they should take it to make the crowd believe what they see is real.
