What´s the plot?
Wesley Gibson is the hero for a new generation in ‘Wanted’.

Based upon Mark Millar's explosive graphic novel series ‘Wanted’ is the story of 25-year-old nobody, Wes (James McAvoy) whose life changes when he meets a woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie)!

After his estranged father is murdered, the deadly sexy Fox recruits Wes into The Fraternity, a secret society that trains Wes to avenge his father's death by unlocking his dormant powers. As she teaches him how to develop lightning-quick reflexes and phenomenal agility, Wes discovers this team lives by an ancient, unbreakable code: to carry out the death orders given by fate itself.

The Fraternity's enigmatic leader, Sloan (Morgan Freeman) and Fox both teach Wes everything he needs to become the world’s best assassin and soon he realises that he alone controls his destiny.

Miss it and regret it

Fantastic. This is how action films should be. Fast paced, well made, good CGI, good characters and some good acting (I know not that necessary for an action flick).
If you like Matrix or John Woo this is for you. Forget what people say about the plot and storyline. Suspend disbelief for 2 hours and you will come away happy at seeing one of the best films of the year so far.
McAlvoy is brilliant (accent not withstanding), Angelina is good and the supporting cast are good too.
This is all out action from minute 1 and it doesn't let up apart from 20 minutes where McAlvoy learns the ropes.
And what a lot of reviews have failed to mention is how funny this movie is too, some of the humour is brialliant and a film that can make you laugh and leave you breathless is always highly recommended.
If your idea of a good film is fast, furious, action packed and funny with plenty of violence too then pay your money and watch this.

Like the idea,got some great action scenes and excellent touches.
But why in action/martial arts films can they train the main character from complete novice to fighting god in a matter of days/weeks!!!
And for the ridiculous...they get their orders from a loom.What the heck is that all about!
Left disappointed,couldve been amazing.

Good - except for the typecasts...

I would actually say 4 and a half stars.
Fast paced action with plenty of plot turns - enough to keep it fresh and interesting. Good performances from McAvoy and Freeman. Though Angelina Jolie's predictably pouty, strutting "hard girl" role is a maintained annoyance.
