    Standing alone, it's a pretty good movie. But in the shadow of Wanted the comic, it's pale.

    then again, putting Wanted as it was on the screen would have been down right nightmarish. The re-imagination likely was the only chance there was for it.

    Not sure if I should go with The Princess Bride and "she's only mostly dead" or Holy Grail's "not quite dead." Here, can you help me out?

    So any of the "special" assassins that die in the movies can just resurrect themselves as long as they make the kill shot to themselves.

    Classic.(eyerolls)

    @WestMantooth:Well completely ignoring the absurd physics of this universe, the bullet probably would have lost alot of momentum passing through the heads of the other assassins.

    there actually have been documented cases in the real world of a .22 round striking someone's skull, flattening out, travelling UNDER the scalp and then exiting the scalp close to where it would have come out if it have been a straight through and through.

    Dunno about a .45 though.

    I thought that was the point of her insisting on getting shot through the head so graphically, so there would be zero chance of Fox showing up in a sequel?

    @crashedpc /sarcasm: Yeah i was surprised that a movie designed to push all of my buttons, left me feeling flat.

    I only went half way through Night Watch, and turned it off.

    Just couldn't get interested in it.

    Thanks. So not only did you completely ruin a good graphic novel, you're now making a sequel that makes even less sense than the entire first movie.

    Please die.

    @GreyHammer: Have to agree. It takes a special type of person to take a really cool anti-superhero story and turn it into Generic action film #683 with a quickly exhausted gimmick.

    @Charax: Well, considering Wanted was basically a young male's masturbatory fantasy, and how offensively the ideology of the comic book reeked, making it into a generic action movie is about what it deserved.

    How can you spoil a movie like Wanted? I mean, wasn't the whole point to just watch a dozen scenes of ZOMFG BENDING BULLETS?

    Oh, there was also the LOL Morgan Freeman is a villain factor.

    G.I. Joe is actually a branch of NATO that recruits members from all over the world.
    Well that makes sense, considering
    - the term GI Joe has nothing to do with American troops,
    - the overall abundance of internation representation on the team,
    - the lack of American flags displayed, like in THE FREAKIN' LOGO!

    i love this movie. it was violent in the way 80s movies kicked your balls. after the mid-90s, violence just wasn't the same. this movie was absolutely gleeful in its violence.
