Better than Iron Man?? Do you remember how ridiculous Robert Downey Jr. was as Tony Stark? This was not nearly as good as Fight Club, or the Matrix, and it felt very recycled from both of the afformentioned movies, among others. Now this is not to say I didn't like the movie and think it was pretty badass. But it's not even the 2nd best movie of the summer so far. I would put it behind Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, and the trailer for Dark Knight. I was able to give it a pass for all the superhuman things that happened, but the train sequence where only Cross, Wesley and Fox landed on their feet made me scratch my head a little. The plot line was excellent with very little filler, and the action and timing were great. But like I said, to say this was the best flick of the summer so far is a little much.

I was going to post this exact same review this morning (except much more cleverly written). 2 parts Fight Club, 2 parts Matrix, add a pinch of Morgan Freeman, a heaping tablespoon of Angelina Jolie and mix it all together while wearing a black on black Armani suit (or something else suitably stylish) and you'll get Wanted. Definitely my summer movie to beat, knocking Iron Man on his Iron ass. You beat me to it! I was going to post this exact same review this morning (except much more cleverly written).
