It's your basic What If the Villains Won? story that takes place 20ish years later, with humanity none the wiser as to who is running things behind the scenes.Īnd while I can't exactly say I loved it, if you are a fan of Mark Millar, you might find this worth checking out. So know this: Wesley is not a redeemable anti-hero.įor the most part, I enjoyed this weird alternate-Earth reality that Millar created, and I liked the little nods to our classic superheroes and to the wider multiverse. And maybe if I'd gone into it expecting something that made me feel warm and fuzzy inside, I would have hated Wanted. Here's the thing, I thought this was going to be horrible. If you know what you're getting into, it's kind of palatable. This would have made a terrible movie.Įh.

Would you have gone to the theater to see Wesley gleefully rape and murder everyone in his path once he found out that he was a supervillain legacy? In fact, the only things that even remotely resemble the movie are the beginning bit and the names. This is an entirely different story altogether. Because as retarded as the plot sounded, there was a hefty dose of entertainment value there.

Ok, so you know the movie with James McAvoy & Angelina Jolie filled with physics-defying car chases, nonsensical things like curving the bullet, and Morgan Freeman fucking with some ancient loom of destiny? Well, if you think that's what you'll be getting here, you'll be sorely disappointed.
