Also, Weasley shows his middle finger (very briefly, for about 2 seconds) It was not really meant for someone, Weasley was just happy about himself.

What Parents Need to Know
About Wanted
Parents need to know that this over-the-top action film -- which stars Angelina Jolie and is based on a series of comic books, both of which will up its appeal with teens -- is loaded with extraordinarily explicit, extensive, stylized violence, including lots of bloody shootings, beatings, and more (blood and brain matter splatter are shown). The movie's style owes a debt to The Matrix, but it's much more graphic than that sci-fi epic. The film also suggests that the central character's transformation from corporate cog to killing machine is a positive thing to be admired. Also expect lots of swearing, some cigar smoking, and some pretty passionate scenes (including male and female rear nudity).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the appeal of action films. Why does violent entertainment have such a grip on the public imagination? Talk with your kids about the difference between real life and fantasy -- even teens. Point out that consequences exist -- even if it makes you feel humorless. The fact that violent movies stimulate parts of the brain bears some commentary from the parental units. Families can also contrast Jolie's positive public work as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations with her professional work in violent action films. Do the two roles fight against each other, or are they simply different aspects of the same person? Which do you think is the "real" her?

I love it!
It was one of the best movies I have ever seen ( and I have seen a lot), but now as I rewatch it I realize that for most people my age, this movie is not appropriate. I am a very mature person, so I am an exception. There is a lot of close-up violence throughout the movie, lots of blood, and two brief but very graphic sex scenes. You see a lot of brands in this movie such as Google, Energy Horse Drink, Cheerios, and others, and that is just in the first 15 minutes of the film. I would like to say there are good role models and positive messages, but the characters do not care about each other whatsoever, betray their "friends", etc. SPOILER: Later in the movie, Fox is even sent to kill Weasley, and by that time the viewers are somewhat convinced that they feel something for each other. But, Weasley DOES realize that he has to destroy The Feternety, and that is the good thing. However, at the end of the movie, Weasley does not really know who he is, which means he has not learned his lesson. I thought the ending part was genious, though! (Because Weasley can't go into the loser life, but he is no longer a killer)

Great movie! But some pretty raunchy material. Constant usage of the F-word throughout. And quite a bit of blood and gore. Some brief yet fairly graphic and rowdy sex scenes. But really it depends on your kid, if you are like me and have seen movies like Sin City, Matrix, Braveheart etc etc. Then it should be fine.

The Best, Most Mind-Blowing Action Film Since the First Matrix!
I loved this movie! It has brought a new generation of action to the new millenium. First, there was dodging bullets; now, there's curving bullets! i love it! Parents: this film is extremely violent with dozens of head shots and further depictions of gore. Purely awesome; adrenaline-boosting, but EXTREMELY violent and gory.

Very good movie.
This movie cotains strong graphic bloody violence throughout, coarse language, and 2 sex scenes (semi graphic). Fortunantly, it has nonstop action, and that would please many

i watched this movie and it was a great film and alot of graphic violence, and a lot of language in it but not much. the chase in the beginning was a little bit violent, but when the guy came out of the building in glass and could be very scary and violent, so you better migt want to let your kids think about the movie.

- I rate this title on for age 13 and give it
It was awsome
I thought this movie was great lots of action now if you don't like blood and killing and that stuff don't see it but if you do it's awsome also about the sex there are 2 brief scenes of sex on a table and all you see is the mans butt and it is very brief there is a lot of language though but it is a great film
- I rate this title iffy for age 14 and give it
Not so great
The dialouge was forced the plot hurruied and it required more than just a suspension of disbelif. The movie was a wannabe Fight Club. With slow motion fighting self naration and an air of self importance. Fight club is much better even if it is much darker
