I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't already read the comic books it was based on. Unfortunately, it bared no resemblance whatsoever to the comic book (which was quite good).</p> I saw ‘Wanted’ last night, too.

Yes, there were many, many things that could have been done better - script (choke), casting, editing, Angelina Joile looking too damned skinny even for my taste - but we both thoroughly enjoyed it (7.5/10). We liked the visual style and the really dark humor. Morgan Freeman dropping a Samuel L. Jackson line was some fun cognitive dissonance. It's was just nagging us that it could have been a really great flick (on par with the first Matrix movie) with a bit more work. </p> <p>Yes, I saw the trailer you're talking about for the Step Brothers movie (which looks insanely un-funny), but I did note before it started that it was a "red-band" trailer, and therefore <i>not</i> approved for all audiences. </p> <p>Re: Death Race - looks like a thoroughly unnecessary movie, but sometimes those can be fun. And yes, I agree a bit about Jason Statham (no "r" in the last name), but think about the last actor who got typecast into driving fast in every movie (not to mention furiously as well), Paul Walker, and choose your poisons carefully my friend.... (remembering that Hollywood fears doing anything original and untested, especially in throwaway flicks like this).</p> I went out with my wife last night and saw Wanted.
