Still haven't decided yet whether to see this. by mrfan	Jun 16th, 2008 05:17:14 AM
Probably wait for reviews from here, word of mouth, and flip a coin.
Fuck . . . by parallax_r	Jun 16th, 2008 05:22:35 AM
I need to move to Texas.

Actually - from the R-rated footage - I'd say this was harder than the Matrix... cuz here - bullets splatter brains, hard hits knock out teeth - and there is nary a green scrolling text in sight.
Naw by TCSailor	Jun 16th, 2008 05:41:08 AM
Any movie where I see the protagonists flinging guns out sideways like gangstas to make engraved bullets curve for "english" and added accuracy....yea, it would make me vomit. I gotta pass on this one, depsite the casting.
Uhhh by Amnesia	Jun 16th, 2008 05:44:48 AM
It's called being Stylized, and it's based on a comic. I think it looks cool, and I really hope I get to go to this screening.
hell no. by ChrisTuckersOnlyFan	Jun 16th, 2008 05:50:16 AM

looks good by chipps	Jun 16th, 2008 06:06:14 AM
bit of a hike to texas though.
and i still say by chipps	Jun 16th, 2008 06:08:30 AM
that even if you except the idea that you can curve bullets ect, the round would not leave his head unaffected by the impact
hmmm by chipps	Jun 16th, 2008 06:10:00 AM
accept
empire has a 7 minute clip by lex romero	Jun 16th, 2008 06:13:11 AM
go check it out, looks cool, if a little but too much spazzy camera work.
I have no interest in seeing any more slow-mo Angelina Jolie gun by Browzer	Jun 16th, 2008 06:24:10 AM

Aint It Cool feel like flying me to Austin? by PR1C3Y	Jun 16th, 2008 07:22:16 AM
Pretty please
Wanted? Count me in... by monsterforge	Jun 16th, 2008 07:38:54 AM
Oh wait... I thought you were talking about the comic book, not some godawful, teeny-pandering, watered-down Hollywood bastardization of a truly cunning concept. Nevermind. I'll just read the book again.

No Green Scrolly admittedly but it's clear without the Wakowski Bullet time there would be NO Bendy Bullets and in that rediculous Fetch of Farfetchednuss I cannot invest my time even if I had a Private Jet and an Invite to Austin! Ta but I couldn't follow or enjoy the Russian fellows Russian efforts so I think I will save my quids.
I like my movie simple these days... by FILMFUNK	Jun 16th, 2008 08:06:45 AM
with acting and story and a dash of FX that enhance rather than Clag a movie to death! Less is more or less more, not less. Here. Hare. Here! The director is obviously a Russian Wakowski and the Trailer was Cleraly cashing in on the Matrix bullshit especially ending with the line 'Which path will you choose' or words to that effect plus Morgan Freeman chatting shit about an elite group of assasins who can Bend bullets! Perleeeeeze! I guess if you can get past this and somehow convince your Brainbox That the bendy bullets aren't gimiky FX then you will Lurve this kinda tosh but it's exactly this blatant CG work that pops me right out of a movie and never stops to let me back in!!!
who the fuck is Cleraly? by captainCAPSLOCK	Jun 16th, 2008 08:12:07 AM
"the Trailer was Cleraly cashing in on the Matrix bullshit" i always wondered who cuts all the Quicktime trailers...guess his name is 'Cleraly'. thanks for the info, Filmfunk.
I'm confused by the title... by Dominic-Vobiscum	Jun 16th, 2008 08:21:07 AM
I've never read the comic, but it's about super villains, right? In that context the title makes sense to me because they'd be criminals. Criminals without foils, but criminals nonetheless. But if they're assassins instead of villains in the movie and "we kill one, to save a thousand" and all that...why would they be "Wanted"?
I think you give the visual style too much credit. by DerLanghaarige	Jun 16th, 2008 09:33:16 AM
Yeah, it looks cool, but every video clip director with a good budget can do something like this these days.
First time contest submitter by matalo	Jun 16th, 2008 09:36:39 AM
Though I doubt I will be "edgy enough", I would gladly make the drive to check this out. If not, I will be there opening night.
I'd rather listen to my Marcel Marceau records. by Smerdyakov	Jun 16th, 2008 10:19:18 PM

I'm with Dickblood... by ZombieisaDouche	Jun 17th, 2008 01:37:24 AM
I'm not seeing what all the hype is about. Makes me suspect it's just more studio-funded hype this site has become (in)famous for. Pass...
