‹ G.I. Joe Gets a Poster and a Subtitle •

I’ve been going back and forth about Wanted ever since I saw the first trailer. Would it be a hyper-kick-ass, balls to the wall action film? Or a completely over-the-top parody of itself? As each new trailer has come out I’ve watched, and tried to figure it out. I was finally leaning towards the former, but this fact has pushed me right over the edge into full-on excitedness: It has a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. Holy shit. The Matrix only has an 86%.
In case you’ve missed it, here’s the red band trailer for Wanted, which hits theaters this Friday:

They destroyed a perfectly good comic book with this movie. they named it wanted and barely based it on the comic.

Really? That’s interesting. I haven’t read the comic or seen the movie yet, so I’m completely unqualified to make a call. But I do remember reading an interview with the creator of the comic where he praised them for how faithful they were.
That being said though, if you hadn’t read the comic do think you would have enjoyed the movie?
