I Want more Wanted!
The box office, cult and action juggernaut of the "Matrix" trilogy has been a tall order for Hollywood to follow. 'Wanted' was able to take great and at times gravity defying, strides towards that marker. Perhaps claiming heir to "The Matrix" throne in trailers all over the world wasn't a smart move for their marketing team, but the intended message was received. The inner Action/Adventure/Sci-Fi geek in everyone was more than satisfied by the smoldering sensuality of Angelina Jolie- ((Pitt-ish)), and the sage and sinister wisdom of character actor Morgan Freeman. While he did not carry the dark and dangerous mysterio that we now know as 'Morpheus', and the bad guys weren't all Agent Smith- 'Wanted' earned its stripes amongst a legacy of action packed blockbusters. While 'Wanted' may not change the way pop culture now views consciousness in contemporary society, the ability to curve a bullet is pretty damn awesome! Hopefully they find enough creative energy for a sequel.
