How I lost faith in IMDB User Ratings or Neurosisnine reviews Wanted.
Saturday, August 2, 2008 at 06:51PM On IMDB, Wanted has a 7.3 rating. Let me put this into perspective, Dogma has a 7.3 rating, Love Liza only has a 6.8, Hard Eight shares a 7.2 with Hard Candy. Hell, Inland Empire only has a 7.3. These are all amazing movies.
If Daywatch (6.7), Mr and Mrs. Smith (6.4), and Lucky Number Sleven (7.8) had a wild threesome in a fertility lab, and then Michael Bay (6.4 [average of all the movies he's directed since Bad Boys in 1995]) came along, mixed up all the splooge and then impregnated Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie Junior (4.4) then, there's a pretty good chance that the screaming baby Arnold wrapped in paper towels and hid in the girl's bathroom so his parents wouldn't find out, would then grow up to be Wanted. And, now that I've made every english teacher in the world cry themselves to sleep with a ridiculous run on sentence, we can move on.
So, we've determined the origins, now we can do a little math to get the proper IMDB rating and clear this whole thing up. Don't worry, I took High School Biology, so this whole thing is completely scientific.
We multiply all the illegitimate fathers of this bastard child, then divide that by the mad scientist who made this whole thing possible by continually perpetrating crimes against film and we get 52.26. Then we take the square root of this chocolate rain of shit and get about 7.2. See this is where IMDB went wrong. They forgot to include the mother in this equation of fail-istics. Now, subtract the square root of the mother which comes out to be 2.1, and gives you a proper IMDB rating of 5.1. Here's the math below, because my teacher always said to show your work.
_________________
/ 6.7 x 6.4 x 7.8 ___
/ --------------- = 7.2 - \/4.4 = 5.1 Are you happy now Bud?
\/ 6.4
Now I know this might seem harsh, but that's the way the math works out.
Alright, now that I've disgusted the whole Neurosisnine fanbase with dirty, filthy numbers, let me turn on my trademark charm and win you all back. Thank you Mr. Daniels, I will have another.
Wanted is a really shitty shoot 'em up with completely over the top Russian special effects. I was really disappointed because Timur Bekmambetov directed it, and I love the Night Watch series. It seems he might have made an american movie and caught a mild case of Wachowski. Mr. Bekmambetov, I advise you to go back to Russia and have some good vodka. The Wachowski Strain seems to thrive best in sunny Hollywood, and we can hope, for your sake, that the harsh Russian cold will kill it off before it gets any worse.
