as bad as the last stand

Rating: 5/10 (1 May 2009)

My mistake was going to see this optimistic that it might be decent. Unfortunately the writers and director had other plans for my evening.
Badly written, over complicated and strewn with pointless characters (Gambit, Cyclops and Emma Frost, for example). The dialogue was bad, and the fight scenes seemed to have Wolverine and Sabretooth running, or loping, at each other on a loop.
Things weren't explained, or were so badly thought out as to be preposterous e.g. the marvel(!) of the adamantium injections, and Wolverine's ability to instinctively use his now unbreakable, factory fresh, beautifully shaped claws in scenarios that would have torn his arm off only minutes previously.
The sequence up to and including the titles I quite liked, but it was a very steep downhill from there.
