My old roommate sadly refused to watch Kingsmam because he saw the sequel first and said because it was so bad he would not watch the original no matter what I said.
I remember wondering why he even aimed for her in the first place. Wasn’t he supposed to kill the other guy but it’s like he targeted her first just because she has the mark
@@Duffman69able He had to lure the guy to the place marked with the X, on top of the roof the shot at the woman came from! It is like in billiards! You can go straight ahead, but it is much more fun to do it in the most complicated way!
@@macdieter23558 he didn’t have to is my point though. He could have just shot the guy he was hired to before he even noticed any of them were there. Like a real assassin would. Of course it’s just to advance the story and look cool but it bugs me
I love how it brilliantly tricked the audience. At first, I thought he just wanted to run away, but I didn't expect him to just need extra space to make a jump.
Contextually (for the story) Mr. X would have had to have had a moniker already for them to have the conversation on the phone (without it being weird or confusing to have one person out of nowhere start to call someone else a nickname for shits and giggles, not to mention calling the guy a name that would hint at the assassination plan isn't something the greatest killer in the world would stupidly do), along with the fact everyone in the org called the dead guy Mr. X as well, means the dude was always called that. As a visual gag for the audience, obviously the guy called Mr. X, dying on a (X marks the spot) was the joke to begin with.

I love that immediately after what you think is the most ridiculous thing, the widow jump across a city street, they follow it up with "multi stage bullet" like it's a goddamn rocket lmao this movie is great.
That's the same kind of bullet they called "clean" and "untraceable" in the beginning. I suppose it has no markings from shooting because it sheds the shell that has those markings, resulting in an undamaged bullet.
That’s brilliant! People in the Matrix who know they are in the Matrix and like Cypher hate living in the crappy real world eating protein goo, so they go back in with god mode and game life.

@@Mohitmahipal its a fun movie, this scene is a bit goofy yeah but the over the top action is the focus of the movie, its pretty fun the whole way through
I remember watching this in 2000s, I was blown away. There was no action movies like that since the final Matrix, everything was grounded and boring. In some degree Wanted was ahead of its time and predicted 2010s over the top action style of John Wick and The Raid
Daywatch and to a degree Nightwatch from the same director have the cinematography seeds that wanted have and are far from perfect script wise but still amazing movies. Specially Daywatch.
The scene where he jumped through the window deserved an award category of its own to be made, just so that it could get something. I've watched that scene easily a hundred times
This movie was like the last gasp of comic movies being bastardized for the 2000s. Meaning “oh the audience won’t get supervillains running the world, make them assassins getting hidden messages from god in cloth…”
@@brianbaker2884 "you can't criticize if you can't do it" Also a couple of the 50 Shades books hit best-seller. Quality doesn't always matchup with Popularity.
This scene is kinda wrong , the amount of distance the bullet traveled before hitting him, he should have fired first and then said the line , they were just decoys.
that actually is pointed our by many movie mistake seekers channels as a continuity error mistake (the bullet being nearly inside the head when the line ended vs. cross who haven´t even fired right after he said the line)
I liked this movie, which, interestingly enough, had very little to do with the source material. As for concept itself: the movie has elements from ASSASSIN'S CREED, EQUILIBRIUM and THE MATRIX, as inspired by Hong Kong action flicks. I think that's neat.
I know this scene was a reference to the comic but I still find it weird this is the only time such an inhuman ability is shown. The rest of the movie people do crazy shots and stunts but compared to this they actually feel somewhat plausible.
Curving bullets ruined the entire movie. I can accept long jumps before I can accept curving bullets. You would need the strength of superman to come close to doing that.
@@spartanx169x Not even superman strength could curve a bullet using the method depicted in the movie, it defies laws of physics. It would take supernatural power for the bullets to be curved that way.
If only snipers could see and shoot that far with that kind of accuracy, nvm about the wind direction and the travel time 😆 but I too loved this movie :)
The described sniping range seems like the distance where a voice transmitted via communication would reach much faster than the bullet. (So, it looks like the person shot would have enough time to dodge.)
It's 50/50 true when someone take adrenaline in their blood system, some might run faster or can lift something heavy like refridegerator for short period however in real life after the adrenaline wear off the body will take a lot of damage which cause bone cracked or muscle tearing and have to recover many months so i just be here to enjoy the movie 😊
0:14 seen the movie x times but this is the first time i hear that "charging" sound and suddenly even seing the pointer dot,was always thinking "Mr. X" turned himself into that focused mode after he saw the workers on the other building and simply shouted when he heard the gun firing,but it was simply too late for the lady
Shot him downtown all the way from Bridgeport lol. So basically he was right by Sox park and shot the guy who was all the way downtown. That’s 30 blocks haha.
Trying to kill literally the best hit man in the world; decides to shoot the secretary instead, alerting him to the hit and allowing him to defend himself.
They straight up show off the strongest guy in this absurd universe get baited so easily lol It was also a very interesting angle to show the "good guy" caring for the middlemen while the "bad guy" just did all sorts of devious tactics like killing civilians, sending out cannon fodder and making an elaborate trap to safely snipe his target.
This movie is 100% insane, but it is a guilty pleasure. It is so over the top.
As it should be. :)
Yup. The soundtracks make it 1000x better
Hello longevity Jim
I ain't gonna lie, I thought this movie was ridiculously bad when it first came out but now I think its ridiculously fun.
Nostalgia will do that
1:04
yeah this is the scene i watched and then immediately turned it off
Same. I thought it was stupid. Now I realize it is action candy. Just enjoy the ride.
There’s a thin line between the two
I love that his secondary pistol is a muzzle loader
Specifically used for easier curving, as in this movie's logic it'd be easier to curve a musket ball than a bullet.
Still quicker than reloading.
Modified to be magazine fed, look closer
@@angusdelaney905 is that even possible irl?
@@l0sts0ul89 no idea
This movie posits that having high blood pressure gives you super powers
I think it had more to do with panic attacks but yeah valid
@@psychohelmetfounder High blood pressure? Panic attacks?
I SHALL BE IMMMORTAL!!
Not super power, but high performance above the average olympic athlete.
They think they can manipulate the Adrenaline rush.
lol
I love how that 2 1/2 foot elevator gave him a extra boost to jump a whole football field
Barely
An extra boost to reach the other building but not enough to maintain the level.
Look at when he started dropping from his jump. He needed every inch the elevator gave him.
Just when I thought he was gonna run for his life, he seemed panic by pressing the elevator button repetitively but it's just to give him extra space to jump 😂😂 such an alpha move
Imagine how much further he might have gone if he's been smart enough to shoot out the glass before he hit it.
I know this scene and whole movie made no sense bt still one of the coolest movie out there
Absolutely. Absurd. Unrealistic. Ridiculous. And absolutely awesome. I love it.
The comic is better
@@nightmareblackdoctor3478 eh, they are too different
I think it made sense, just not any kind of sense that most people are used to lol
this movie was all over the place and kind of dragged to the point good movie still though
The coolest character killed immediately in an action movie ever!
same thing with Lancelot in Kingsman

@@crimsonknight7011 The sequel to Kingsman is a lot like this movie, only fun if you don't take it seriously, although wanted is more fun imo
Yeah!
All a bit far fetched really. There's no way he could run in those shoes...
maybe they simply look like dress shoes, but respond like athletic shoes?
I mean you can but not very good
Bodyguards for politicians/royalty/etc. has to run in similar looking shoes all the time.
I wear similar shoes to work, they fall off if you try to run and have no traction...lol.
Look what John Wick can do in those shoes.

What funny is that Wesley's father and the killer were called X and Cross.

Its so dumb. I absolutely love it.

the action scenes in this movie is OVER THE TOP

Wonder when he had to say goodbye when pulling the trigger for the projectile to reach him
How that woman totally twirled around from the immense speed of him running by. Hope she is okay.
super strength, super speed, impermeable skin, super aim, and also teleportation. Sure this isn't a superhero movie?
He actually flew from one high-rise to another! He's anti gravity?
