Mildly Entertaining

Rating: 5/10 (9 June 2009)

Ultimately disappointing. It's a shame when Hollywood takes an origin story and turns it into a dumbed down action movie. I'd still say see it only for Jackman and Schreiber. But, as a big fan of the comics and the other films, I'd say they fell short here. Sadly. Too much action without character development is not advisable for the creation of Wolverine. Since we don't know where he came from, why not come up with a better history instead of the contrived opening sequence which I still don't understand. Is he immortal? How was he used in the particular wars if he is mortal? Didn't he become, not immortal, but self healing after the operation? But he can still die. Isn't that the whole idea? If he can't die, we know he'll always win and then where's the tension?

p.s the secondary characters were a waste. I don't know why they are there except to provide more b.s action.
Sometimes I hate Hollywood.
