misanthropic, without a doubt. But I felt the mysogyny. - Reagen Mar 13, 16:12 15
- Are we really analyzing this movie *this* deeply? It was just a fun bit of entertainment. (spoils) - Fuzzy Mar 13, 16:17 10
  - I'm not asking it to be Tolstoy, but I am asking for its characters not to be repellant. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 16:21 9
    - FYI... My comment was not aimed specifically at you, I'm surprised at the level of character analysis being applied to this film by many people. - Fuzzy Mar 13, 16:28 8
      - if that's all you want, there are plenty of Steven Seagal movies out there. - Reagen Mar 13, 16:33 4
        
        Sure. And there is a place for that kind of mindless fun sometimes. - Fuzzy Mar 13, 16:42 2

        Posts like this always make me want to hit somebody with a giant mallet or something. -- nm - mara Mar 13, 16:51

      - You can't get away with throwing s**t up on the screen in a time of Wall-E, Dark Knight and Iron Man. - Will Hunting Mar 13, 16:30 2
        
        Except Terminator movies. -- nm - znufrii si Mar 13, 16:41
        
        I would argue that the characters in Wanted are just as developed as those in Iron Man. - Fuzzy Mar 13, 16:38
- Redeemable nihilism? Heh. -- nm - con_carne Mar 13, 16:14 3
  - see; Fight Club. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 16:15 2
    - sounds more like Fight Club without Robert Paulson -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 16:16 1
      - Or Harry Potter with guns. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 16:17
