Wanted

<< < (6/9) > >>

imapiratearg:
That's exactly what this movie is, though, and that's what makes it awesome.

Dimmukane:
I honestly didn't think it was that over-the-top.  To be over-the-top, you have to be self-aware, I think.  And Wanted wasn't self-aware. 

I still think he needs to watch more action movies, though.

imapiratearg:
I had a feeling like it was totally aware of itself.

Nodaisho:
I haven't seen it yet, but as I understand it, at one point, a man is diving between two skyscrapers, up hundreds of feet in the air, and shoots a guy with a flintlock before being sniped from across town. How is that not over-the-top?

Dimmukane:
The way Timur Bembaktov pulled it off visually just didn't do it for me, I guess.  It's almost like The Fraternity has an unfair advantage, and having their ability makes them less human, so that kind of thing is almost expected from them.  In stuff like Shoot 'Em Up and Riki-Oh, they didn't have any kind of special ability, they were just really good at what they did, which made their antics more over-the-top. 

This is just my personal opinion, I'm not gonna argue over what is over-the-top and what isn't.  For Wanted, the only part(s) I thought were over-the-top were the sniper shots.
