Well of Illusions!

omg...i just watched like, an english version of battle royale T_T

and paid $8.50 for it argh ><

'wanted' was seriously seriously below expectations...from the trailers i thought it was gonna be some damn cool action flick with a very intriguing storyline...and i even went to wiki the comic book synopsis to find out the gist of the story.

and when i read that it was censored and rated R in the US and 18 in the UK for language and violence throughout i was like YEAAA this is gonna be a damn good movie!!!

and it started off well too! there were lots of damn good animated scenes (i guess...no way can anyone actually fly across from building to building while smashing through glass in real life right? oO) and i was listening very intently to make sure i wouldn't miss out on any important part of the storyline.

but then it just degenerated into a big mess of random killings and blood and curved bullets and repeated 'violence' that didn't really serve the purpose of the story and lots of cussing that kinda got abit weird in the end cos it just seemed too excessive and in the end kuoying sipei and i were just :O at how the story concluded.

not dazzled and amazed mind you, more like appalled and shocked into disbelief at how a story with so much potential (or so we thought) could have turned out quite so...messed up -.-

i was kinda expecting more to the 'fraternity' than just curving bullets and slowing down time (ok sorry for all the spoilers but i mean you can go watch it at your own risk) and by the time the main character killed the supposed antagonist who turned out to be his father i had totally figured out what the rest of the story was going to be like. oh and probably the 30 minutes worth of stuff before that too.

yes, it was that predictable.

and this time, angelina jolie couldn't do enough to salvage it.

yes, even though there was a nude shot of her.

so in the end everyone like just ended up dead? like battle royale. with an actual storyline that got distorted to omg-ness.

i am so so disappointed.

but i guess there're alot of other movies to make up for it! hopefully they won't be as...bad T_T

oh and if you didn't already know...

I'M DONE WITH CT-S MWAHAHAHA IN YOUR FACE I AM STILL ALIVE TAKE THAT!
