Have to agree: why bother to call it ‘Wanted’? I have to admit I was ultimately disappointed with the mini-series, but… this seems like just a pale version of the book.

It seems like either they just loved the core idea or just didn’t get what the book was really all about. Or maybe making the comic would have been just too damn expensive.

Also: so tired of Angelina Jolie. Can we get someone else here? She’s turning into a real 1 trick pony.

I’ll also hold my full opinion until after the movie - but currently, my cheap answer based on this trailer is, “why even call it Wanted?” I don’t mind that they pull out the costumes / spandex… but switching the characters from bad to good makes me scratch my head.

Still, I’ll check it out for the fun.

Loved the mini series, but this trailer doesnt didnt get my interest at all. Why take all the originality out of the mini and just make this another shoot em up movie? I realize to a general audience the superhero angle might not win em over, but the whole hook of the series was that the bad guys finally won!

The folks who buy the graphic novels after they see the its movie adaptation who usually don’t folow comics are going to be confused with this one. When they pick this thing up in Borders, they’ll be surprised to see everyone in the book in superhero costumes and, er, not “saving a thousand people” stuff. I wasn’t a fan of the series, but I’d take that cynical ultraviolent original over this watered down toothless version.

I saw the trailer and was left with a big “eh” feeling. Just another action movie. I of course hold final judgement on the film for when I see it, but until I see something that makes me go WOW, I probably won’t see it in the theater.
