Bekmambetov's movie evaporates pretty quickly after it's consumed.
Wanted is too bloody, too over the top, too silly, and too special effects driven. It's also excessively entertaining and fun.
It's made for fans of films that really just want to see some great visuals, some amazing sequences and some terrific performances.
A 12-armed heavy-metal drummer of a movie, kicking and flailing through two hours of impossible. The car chase of the year.
I've watched a movie that, while fiercely entertaining, made me fear for the emotional health of my gender. You have a problem with that?
If the graphic-novel-style hyperviolence of Sin City or 300 is your thing, go ahead and knock yourself out. Or let Angelina do it for you ... It feels so much nicer that way.
Wanted never takes itself too seriously and is fully aware of its frailties. This is fast and furious popcorn munching fodder, which doesn't waste time dabbling in meaningful theorising or contemplation.
Explosive action film is extremely violent.
A movie so shamelessly derivative of so many other movies that it ought to have a work-cited page at the start of the closing credits.
Few films have accepted the role of Matrix knockoff with such gusto as Wanted; indeed, at times it's almost impossible to distinguish the two.

...an entirely ineffectual actioner that suffers from many of the same problems that one now associates with the genre.
[It] lacks zing, but McAvoy (Atonement) handles his action-hero stint admirably.
Then there's ADD megatard Timur Bekmabetov's deeply stupid Wanted, coming along to confirm that his deeply stupid Night Watch and Day Watch were no accident
A version of The Matrix that didn't bother to construct a thoughtful mythology for its universe, and a version of Shoot 'Em Up that plays it too straight.
Agreeably slick pop nihilism, getting a kick out of its own excesses.
This is an exciting flick, and it helped secure a place in the cinemas for R-rated action films.
I wanted to see it again and I'm glad I did.
It's the lack of commentary which leads me to believe there's a better version coming. That and the fact that they're trying to work up a sequel.
Who needs a director's commentary with this much bonus material?
Wanted shrieks along at such an unrelieved high pitch homicidal pace as the pathological protagonist passively morphs from dork to demon, however righteous, that the audience may soon start craving some of those pills that McAvoy's been popping.
