Wanted: Deusdaecon Reviews

[@MrJackMTama]

This man needs more views, he does a ton of work, has more through opinions about all the movies he talks about, and even adds his own comedy at times, (though much less than others like the Nostalgia Critic) . I would love to see this guy get more successful, it just seems so odd to me that he is getting less than a thousand viewers a video at times. If you read comments Deusdeacon, I just want to tell you that your movie reviews are brilliant and you should keep making more for a long time to come, I am sure people will come around eventually.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

+Jessy Lloyd Thank you very much, I really appreciate your support.

[@orvilpym]

Deusdaecon Reviews - Yes, please keep up the good work. Google suggested your reviews to me in the sidebar, so I guess the algorithm is starting to push you forward. At least I really hope so.

great video. im kinda surprised that you didnt include the reveal when wesley puts on Mr Xs jacket and it doesnt fit right, but when he puts on Cross' jacket, it fits him perfectly. another indication that Cross was the father the whole time.

So having finally read the comics I understand why they didn't faithfully adapt it and why you didn't like it. I felt dirty rooting for the protagonist.

"Wow, that was Wanted and I've never had a film actively insult me like that before."😂 I laughed way too hard at that remark.😂

[@troin3925]

TouchingYouOnTheInsidePart Ironically, the comic literally does this in the last page with a character breaking the fourth wall to literally insult the reader and threaten to rape them. I’m not joking, that’s what actually happened and I hadn’t even read the comic myself (nor own it because, despite it’s really cool concept, it’s ruined by Millar’s edginess and I don’t want to traumatize myself, plus, I only read certain comics when I feel like it), but I know this through research and screenshots.

Jolie appeared a missed meal away from death in this film.

[@CDRaccoon]

at around 6 min mark of the review, we are asked why "fox" needs an attachement for her gun, that lets her shoot around corners. Answer: That contrapstion was a new product, marketed to militaries around the world at that point, and was heavily featured in films and dokumentaries, for both propaganda and adventisement purposes. its simply product placement.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

Yeah i figured that was the case, I was more asking why in the movie, plot wise would she need it.

[@tyw28]

I can't believe I have binge watched almost all of his reviews. This is really good stuff. Solid, thoughtful analysis.

The only problem with your analogy is that the only X-Men related part of this film is the inclusion of James McAvoy.

Your reviews are very well done. Keep up the good work (Your Resident Evil reviews were by gar my favorite ones)

[@deusdeaconReviews]

Thank you that means a lot .

[@jackwells8107]

I think I read this in Wizard Magazine, back when the movie was released. If I'm recalling the story correctly, someone liked the first couple of issues of the comic so much, he bought the rights and rushed the film into production, before the comic was finished, which is why the two are so different.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

That doesn't really hold up if you ask me because from the very beginning the comic is completely different to the film in almost every single way, the only similarity is "cubicle worker finds out his father is a professional killer" but the how, why, where, who etc all different.

The actor playing the Russian is the director's favourite actor (a good one, though). He's featured in almost all of this director's movies.

[@sebastianemond5313]

Well, he was the lead in Nightwatch and Daywatch. The only time I didn't see him in a Timur Bekmambetov film was Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter.

[@maria.whiddon]

LOL. Yes. It was a little jarring hearing sweet old lovable Morgan Freeman go all Samuel L. Jackson.

[@Darkstar1484]

I will admit that if they actually tried to make a true movie based on the Wanted comics...it would probably be both fascinating and disgusting and more than a little disturbing

[@JohnSmith09123]

I thought the comic book had an interesting storyline where all the villains won, and wiped out all of the heroes within that universe

[@dumpydumpy7514]

Any closer to those Nightwatch reviews? The book series is one of my favorites.

[@Lioness006]

No mention of a young Chris Pratt as his friend? Or Common as the Gunsmith? PS. I loved this movie. Very stylish, good action, great cast. Also, Nightwatch and Daywatch are good. They make more sense if you've read the books first, which fill in a lot of the blanks.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

I had no idea who those two people were at the time of making this video, guardians of the galaxy didn't exist and i hadn't seen parks and rec and i had no idea who common was until john wick 2

[@Lioness006]

@@deusdeaconReviews I used to watch a LOT of MTV, so I knew who Common was from that. I never watched Parks and Rec either. But he was on The OC a couple years before this movie came out, so I already knew who he was. You recognize a lot more British actors than I do, so I figure it probably has a lot to do with TV programming and what you're familiar with.

[@arie735]

I love the fact this movie had Morgan freeman curse which is such a rarity

[@FrankLightheart]

Huh, that's funny. Because I also read the comic and hated this movie because I thought the comic was better. The comic isn't perfect, but I admired it for having the balls to stick to it's convictions. The main characters are all villains. Super villains. In a world where they successfully killed all their superheroes and are now running the place. So the conflict ends up being between two rival factions of villains. One group wants to bring super heroes back so they can have someone to fight again, while the other group wants to keep the world as it is. The main character is a new member of this villainous fraternity who gets raised and trained right as this conflict erupts. What I found interesting about the story was how the story humanized the main characters, showed us their various failures, frailties, and self doubts while never compromising on the fact that they are still all firmly villains who are making the world a terrible place. Say what you will about the comic, but at least it places it's flag in the ground where it wants and doesn't apologize. They're all bad guys. Human and imperfect, but still evil and greedy super villains none-the-less. I saw this movie as an apologetic compromise. The movie wanted to be about bad ass assassins who unflinchingly killed targets with style and grace, but also wanted them to somehow be good guys who only killed people who deserved it. Hate to tell you this: but shooting people for money isn't very heroic. The "Loom of Fate" didn't make any sense. Fate doesn't pay the bills. Where the hell is this fraternity getting all that money for guns and transportation and designer bullets and giant paychecks for their assassins? From their textile side business? Bullshit! I'll agree with you that the action is creative and character arc for the main character is satisfying, but it's ultimately all style with no substance. It wants to be cool and edgy while wiping it's hands of all the terrible things it does. At least the comic admits that becoming a ruthless killer and taking over the world means you have to become an evil monster. The movie really SHOULD have just named itself something else and cut all ties to the comic. I probably would've been more forgiving then.

[@ermacjones4821]

Nobody is innocent.

[@orvilpym]

I really love your reviews and have been happily watching my way through them for the past days. Thanks for making my sick days a lot less unpleasant. But given your annoyance at filmmakers not doing their research, I have to nitpick your criticism of the loom of fate. While ASCII is one way to interpret binary code, our modern understanding of it goes back to the 1679 Artikel "Explication de l'Arithmétique Binaire" by Gottfried Leibniz. Of course there are much older binary systems, like the Chinese I Ching, going back at least a millennium and possibly more than two. And since the I Ching is a method of divination based on broken and unbroken lines, like the loom's "errors", it seems a pretty likely origin of the idea in the story.

[@juleswinnfield9097]

Wesley sounds like Morty from Rick & Morty during the car chase.

[@CoolG97]

17:25 Look, Professor X channeling Deadpool.

[@CosmicChroniclesHQ]

Fox didn't need the machine to curve bullets, she used the machine to SEE around corners.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

Theres less cumbersome ways of doing that then, especially considering that what she can do with bullets is a hundred times more impressive that what that device can do, its more of a hindrance when a simple mirror on a stick could acomplish so much more

[@PentaCrit]

Amazing as per usual

[@bartistclord1916]

Back when i played a lot of Call of Duty, (the first one), we would "get going" after a while and have moments of blinding speed, killing an enemy, they drop their gun, which appears at their hand and then falls to the ground, if you put your cross hairs on the gun and press 'use' it swaps your gun for the new one. If you target and hit use while your cross hairs are on a gun within 3 feet, as it drops from their hand, it swaps with your gun, leaving it hanging in mid air, right where the swap took place. THEN this movie came out, and I saw that scene, and said, "oh cool, it's Like what WE do in Call of Duty". Then I hear people claim that is impossible, and cite that scene as 'too far fetched" while I am still hung on that first scene with the 120 foot long jump to the roof top.

[@HeartburnMan]

I would say Cross crossed out Mr X with a X lol

[@doubledamn2599]

I would love to know about The Loom from this movie and when Sloane's name came up. Did his name come up before or after he started taking monetary jobs? Or did his name coming up push him to make that choice? Did the Loom engineer a Predestination Paradox by giving Sloane's name?

[@sebastianemond5313]

[@admtm24]

The girlfriend (Kristen Hager) was also Jessie in AVPR.

[@dangrus123]

I think that the thing with the loom has one of two answers either a the ASCII code was created by analyzing the loom which is unlikely or option b since we know that the management went full not case and it's killing who they want it's all b******* and there was some other code before this

[@TheMrt800]

I want to more know about night and day watch >:(

[@clbaker8356]

My feeling is most of the assassins are complete sociopaths. They would enjoy using their abilities. That would start making them cocky and arrogant leading to mistakes. Director Timur Bekmambetov first American film after making Night Watch and Day Watch and has same feel and visual style.

(JKJKJKJK I'm not a homophobe, that's a reference to iDubbbz) But I get why, it wasn't important to anything really besides fan service. Anyway, I watched this when I was a kid and I think it explains why I'm so screwed up lol And yet again, you're making me see things I never noticed like his narration coming through with the talking when his character was at his weakest, very clever stuff and it sucks McAvoy didn't do the video game sequel, would have really capped this movie off. Nice review, bro...very professional! If you're making see all these things with films I've watched like crazy, I can't imagine what mind fucks are in store for me with Fight Club ;-D

[@ivantrajkovski5055]

okay abput ullet and the vurve gun machine I have 2 theories 1 the sheddings somehow speed the bullet up 2 the machine shoots at corners cuz she cant bend the bullets in a 90% angle

[@deusdeaconReviews]

"the sheddings somehow speed the bullet up" thereby breaking ALL known laws of physics, I can suspend my disbelief for curving bullets, but if a bullet losing mass speeds it up ? The bullet might as well turn into a ballerina hippo and dance the bolero cause that makes just as much sense, your other point however makes some kind of sense, Buuuuut it doesn't explain why its never used again by anyone.

[@ivantrajkovski5055]

i meant like the shed parts had compressed air inside them that releases when shed and shots the bullet forward in a greater speel maybe?

[@ivantrajkovski5055]

also funny I could say the same for half the artifacts in the Constantine tv show xD

[@deusdeaconReviews]

I can see the logic there but no, that would required a fairly large explosion behind a canister of extremely compressed air, which on paper is just a bad idea, but also lets say your theory is correct and the compressed air would speed the bullet up, the fact that so much mass is lost to get that speed it wouldn't cause much of a difference anyway, my original point was, that a solid full metal jacket bullet would be just as effective.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

Wanted takes place in a world of "bending physics" meaning it has an innate link to reality, Constantine is about magic and as such can just make shit up because it doesn't pretend to have any basis in reality.
