Meh, I've never been of the mind that a movie based on a book or based on any previous work has to be 100 percent true to its creation. I like to judge a movie on its own merit. I never knew Wanted as a graphic novel, in fact I didn't even know it was a graphic novel until like a month ago, and when I was watching the movie, I didn't really care. This movie, just straight up, was a lot of fun. Nothing really more to be said. Funny, violent, fast and just great performances by the three main stars who were probably over-qualified for a movie like this, but they made it that much better. I can't begin to tell you how good McEvoy was in this thing. It wasn't a difficult role, but had they got someone like Shia LaBeouf or some other up and comer, there's no way it would be as good. McEvoy was great as the depressed low life with major self esteem issues stuck in a cubicle, and was great as the hero of the day, shooting a mob boss in a limo as his car is flipping in mid air.
