Slow pace... way too slow to me.

I really liked the X-Men movies, and i am probably among the rare people that think Wolverine Origins was cool and fun. I watched this on my TV tonight after having miss it in theatres and i don't know if its because i got the extended version, but oh was it long...? Logan/Wolverine has been so established previously, and i understand that it need to establish other characters, but the first fight happen around 40 mins... and there ain't that much of them. Jackman is still super fine as Wolverine, but the setting of the movie(Japan) feel kinda weird and the story didn't really catch me at all, i was more or less confuse for a whole part of the movie on who was who and why was he bad or such.
Its not that its a bad movie, but i was expecting this to be a fun ride as much as the Xmen Movies in general, but felt somewhat disappointed. Setting this up post Xmen 3 was maybe somewhat of a risky decision and i think it didn't paid too much. Don't get me wrong, the fights that there is are cool, but there too few of them and there was something that felt like this was not the Wolverine i know.
Best scene to me was the Magneto/Xavier cameo at the end... which is supposed to set up the next Xmen movie...
In any case, not a bad movie at all, but one i felt was ... ordinary and i will really forget quick.
