Is Wanted destined to fail at the box office? Because everyone can see from the Wanted movie trailer that this is not a comic book adaptation - I don’t care who you are, if you like it or if you hate it - this movie is not a live-action version of the graphic novel.
My prediction is that it will be a huge success. Not among Mark Millar fans, necessarily, but among the general moviegoing public. Obviously, the film was made to appeal to the masses and they do it well.
It looks like a good movie: big name stars (Angeline Jolie specifically), action, guns, fast cars, and good writing. I think it will do well and I think it will be entertaining. But from what it looks like, this is just another action flick and is not a comic book adaptation in the truest sense.
It won’t fail on a profitability level or from the perspective of being a good movie, but it will fail in the eyes of Wanted purists everywhere.
