‘Wanted’ Breaks Box Office Records

I don’t get the comparison to Wall-E, a movie for kids. Different market, different everything.

I saw it last night and I love the entire cast - james mcavoy is amazing alongside angelina. Common and morgan freeman are fantastic as well…here is a behind the scenes clip of the movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aEuffCnpKg

I ‘m heading to the theater to watch WANTED for the second time..not because of James but because of Angie. The movie is exciting…I loved it.

# 86 em @ 06/29/2008 at 4:38 pm Angelina was ok in it, but this was not her movie. It belongs to James. He ruled in every scene he was in.

—————————————————————-
everytime his in,im bored!u think people watch this movie without anjie?nah!ask maniston!!!

OMG. GOOOOOOD TO KNOW THIS. I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE IT HERE IN MY COUNTRY.

Angelina was NOT the star of this movie regardless of what people might like to think. I like her and all, but James ruled. He def stole scenes from Morgan and Angie, and since they are good, that is saying something. Angie looked like if you sneezed on her, she’d break in half. The eye makeup they used made her look gaunt. She’s a beautiful woman, but her beauty was somewhat lost in this movie.

Angie Rocked in wanted…I was a little surprised at the ending, but loved every minute of the movie, yes I olny wanted to see it because my girl Angie was in it, and I might just add, awesome a$$ she has, you go girl.:)

Review: Angelina Jolie And “Wanted”
David Edelstein On The “Incinerating” Actress’ Latest Action-Thriller

June 29, 2008(CBS) With roles in films such as “Girl, Interrupted” (for which she won an Oscar) and her latest, “Wanted,” Angelina Jolie has attracted a host of admirers … and that includes our own David Edelstein:

Hollywood is full of swollen-lipped actresses, but Jolie has the spirit to match those tire-treads.

She burst out of the gate in 1998’s “Gia,” about the glowering supermodel who embodied a new kind of tough glamour and died of AIDS. I remember her blasting through a scene stark naked - sorry, folks, can’t show it! - and admiring her fearlessness more than her body, which is saying a lot.

But Jolie has so large a presence she doesn’t need to pull out the stops or take off her clothes. She can underplay dryly, toying with lines and co-stars, which is why she was so smashing as a sociopath in “Girl, Interrupted,” devastating fellow patients to keep from turning her acid gaze inward.

Jolie has taken other “serious” parts, like Marianne, wife of murdered journalist Daniel Pearl in “A Mighty Heart,” and she was very fine, tamping down the drama queen stuff.

But even dipped in caramel, she was still, obviously, Angelina.

Her greatest box office successes have been as witty action heroines, as in “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” and “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” opposite honey Brad Pitt, whose hard shell of narcissism held fast against her incinerating stares.

“Wanted” is in the same mode, but more spectacular: It’s state-of-the-art state-of-the-art.

The plot is nonsense about a fraternity of supernaturally gifted assassins, a hodgepodge of “The Matrix” and “The Terminator.” But Kazakhstan-born director Timur Bekmambetov is a whiz at mixing fast- and slow-motion to screw up your biorhythms. You take an hour to come down and then say: I fell for that???

It’s easy to fall for Angelina. There she suddenly is, beside timid protagonist James McAvoy, looking amused, twinkling, as if the whole gazillion-dollar movie is her toy. The bullets she fires seem like extensions of her will.

Does “Wanted” stretch her as an actress? Not remotely. We’ll see that later this year, as the mother of a kidnapped child in Clint Eastwood’s “Changeling.”

What Jolie really needs to prove herself is material she can’t toy with, parts bigger than she is. Hedda Gabler? Cleopatra? God?

***************
He wrote his idea of Angie = modern Hedda Gabler in his very positive Wanted review, too. Angie has mystery around her ? No, I don’t think so. She is too honest to be mysterious. But people believe she is.

Sorry to rain all over your parade, Mikey-boy, but Wanted has earned more per-screen than Wall-E, so I’d call it a tie. But you call it whatever you want if it will make you feel better.

LOL no raining here, More per screening doesnt mean much to people, but throw in the #1 movie and that means a heck of a lot more. I can just see it tomorrow the #1 movie in america Wall-e sounds way better than the #2 movie in America Wanted. LOL. Don’t be so bitter that Walle-e rules, hey at least Wanted came in second. Can’t always be #1 unless your a Pixar movie of course!

I actually listened to him say these words this morning on the TV, (it made my morning :)) and I have to say Angie does take the movie has her own, she was absolutely amazing in her stunts, and she is the one that carried the movie to this height of success…Rock on Angelina. :)
