Yet again my theory that film makers put all the best bits into the trailers, leaving the main film devoid of surprise, excitement or plot was proved correct.
What exactly was the point of Wanted? It offered so much for an action movie yet delivered each set-piece as if being ticked off a check list handed down from the execs at Universal Studios. We even had to endure a sub-Darth Vader "surprise" regarding the supposed villain and the hero. Bet no one saw that coming. James McAvoy narrates through much of this sorry tale so any sense of real danger or suspense for the hero evaporates.
I really can't imagine what an actor of Morgan Freeman's standing was thinking about, other than a very large pay cheque. This has got to be one of the most tedious films I have paid good money to see, equal to The Golden Compass or Hitman. If you buy goods or services and they fail to live up to the advertising or are faulty, you are entitled to a refund so can I get my money back please?
