Angelina Jolie, Common, Morgan Freeman, Terrence Stamp, and … Mr. Tumnas? That’s the cast of Wanted, the latest comic book movie to hit the box office. Longtime Podcast listeners might recall that I have reviled this film for the past six months or so, in large part due to my disapproval of the changes made during the adaptation. I was worried they would destroy on screen something that was so well executed in print.
In order to substantiate my prior opinions, I took in the 5:15 PM screening this afternoon. My post-flick txt (<160 characters) to Nick below:
Audience was all old people and a crying baby. Action was good, Jolie looks busted, Freeman pulls a Sam Jackson. Still fails to convey the point of the book.
