Wanted

One of the dumbest movies I’ve ever seen.

• Premise

I was ready to walk out of the theater after 20-30 minutes, but I stayed because the theater was in a remote area and I was planning to catch another flick later. The problem for me was the regular human beings acting like superheroes. There’s an explanation that those in the Fraternity have a rare condition where their heart rates can go up to 400 bpm, but how the hell does that explain the guy in the beginning (the fake father) flying out a window? And everyone doing the impossible of curving bullets? That may work in comics and graphic novels, but not movies. There must be a good-enough reason for supernatural abilities or the story must take place in a world where such things are normal (as in The Matrix).

• Logic

-Here you have a secret society of assassins so you’d think they’d take care to conceal their identities and operate in the shadows. But no. As in the store and elsewhere, they often do their thing in broad daylight, in front of others, without thought. Ridiculous.

-The loom. They get the names from a loom. Ridiculous.

There were other issues, but I no longer wish to waste time writing about such drivel.
