Meh

Rating: 4/10 (3 March 2017)

May contain Spoilers!!!!! You have been Warned!!!
The Following rant comes from the green mind of a young novicebe afraid.
Positives: I really liked how they treated the future in this film -- it's not so much a futuristic future, but more like the film makers did their homework and actually checked the news to see what the world might be like, and then only slightly did they tweak the futuristic elements to make a very present feeling film that could still be in a believable future. The whole arc of the original mutants was a bit touching and upon hindsight is quite a sign of the passing times.
Organization: Not to be said of the visuals, the organization of certain plot elements of the film felt somewhat realistic though there were elements that felt tacked on.
Half Positive/Half Negative: The realism was impressive but I have to wonder what ever happened to the days that an unrealistic movie could do well in theaters.
Negatives(Because I like negatives.)
Predictability: Whereas I said before that the Organization was good -- it was also very obvious at parts and I can even remember guessing correctly how the movie was going to end before I even saw it -- because studios keep using the same tropes.
R Rating: The Film ( at least to me) seemed like it shouldn't have been an R rated film it and felt more like that was forced to be that way because of "Deadpool." The one scene with exposed breasts was gratuitous and pointless only to show that the protagonist's career choice was poor and that the director had an R rating. The Cussing felt tacked on as if the characters knew that they were in an R rated movie and had permission to drop the F bomb any time they felt. The violence was at times interesting but at other times cartoonish (in a cringe fake way) for a film that comically derides the comics that it is based on. The violence was also not really explained in context of the other films -- though I guess you gotta earn that R rating.
Characters: Hugh Jackman does well as usual as this character though certain points seem somewhat forced emotionally. Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) is excellent in his role as a crazy nearly bedridden old fart. Hugh Jackman does sort of OK as a green cartoon eyed junkie type character on Bath Salts. The girl is a good actress for a kid and she should get more work after this. There is also a really white guy in there too and he does stuff!!!
The Action: Watch a Loony Toons short and imagine inked on blood -- it will look much more realistic. BRING BACK BLOOD SPURTS Hollywood -- JEEZ!
The Ending: It attempts an emotional poignancy and a somewhat of a passing of the baton to a new generation thing but (to me at least) it was just as weakening as Logan's booze to the pacing of the story.
Plot: Think along the lines of a Mutant version of the "Muppet Movie" with "Smokey and the Bandit" just with more F*#ks and imagine a Kermit the Frog flailing bloody swords at Buford T. Justice and a lot of boring waking up scenes.
Tone: Toward the beginning of the film It felt tense as it should -- by the end of the film it felt like an odd mix of some action film merged with a "Power Ranger" episode. My suspension of disbelief was breached due to the children's action scenes.
Antagonists: The antagonists seemed somewhat one noted, not much development when it came to them, and it felt tacked on at times in attempts to give the characters some sort of -- relation to the Wolverine? I dunno. Otherwise they felt like your typical muscle bound hatable die like fly storm troopers -- been there-- done that. This is an R rated film so instead of giving me that bull about redefining Wolverine for a new generation -- you better quit worrying about the kiddos (IN R RATED FILMS) and get more creative for the adults. Oh -- and I don't care if its just supposed to be a dumb "Block Buster!" -- make better, more creative, more entertaining, magical movies again -- you got the money!
Impressions: If your going to make an R rated film don't worry exclusively about littering titties and f*#ks throughout it and try to be more creative than that -- especially visually, so much of the gore could have been a visual masterpiece if you had watched how it had been done decades ago and used practical effects! I guess the producers are too broke to spend a buck. Johnny Cash's music felt sort of tacked on at the end. The grittiness of the trailer is lost in tone at certain scenes within the movie.
Laughs: The comedic scenes (those I can remember) were pretty good, the way that that one girl exploded this other guy was one of most hilarious cartoon moments of this year so far!
Thoughts on Marvel Fanboys: Dear comic nerds and studios -- QUIT RUINING THE F*#K*NG MOVIES!!
Goodies: The "beginning" is awesome!!!!! I would give that beginning a 20 out of 10!!!
One more thing -- the logic behind Wolverines actions in the movie didn't make sense, why did he listen to Professor X and stay with that family -- knowing full well that there were mercenaries after them? There's more but I don't think I have enough room to explain.
