The one comic book/graphic novel-related flick hitting theatres this Summer I haven't actually posted about, 'Wanted' is starting to look like it'd be fun. Again, don't know if it looks fun enough to go see it in the theatre, but worth mentioning I suppose.
I didn't read the actual graphic novel it's loosely based on, so I don't have a full frame of reference. Might be for the best, because the plot line for the novel sounds way too badass to ever translate successfully to film...which is probably why the project has received a cautious, oft pessimistic, response from the bloggers and fanboys alike.
That said, for those of us who haven't read the novel, it looks like a fun little mega-buck hi-tech FX ultraviolence-infused action flick w/ some Angelina Jolie-supplied skin to move the needle on testosterone-meter even further. Hits theatres on 27-June, so I guess we'll see how good (or bad) it is then. I'm a sucker for a good action blockbuster and all, but i'll wait for the reviews.
