I must have seen a different movie to most critics !!

Rating: 8/10 (3 May 2009)

After the unmitigated dross of the last X-Men movie I so badly wanted this to be good . It is, and some, and has restored the faith of a comic book geek.
The audience reaction (gauged on the way out of the cinema) was overwhelmingly positive. I have taken on an evangelical fervour in urging my family and friends to see it. When the negative reviews started appearing I was truly gob smacked ! The pretentious nature of most of them had me reaching for the sick bucket. They drone on and on that the first two movies ( which by the way I loved ) addressed meaningful issues such as social alienation and ostracism... yawn yawn which Wolverine lacked. So what? It is still a bloody good and entertaining film !!! Get over yourselves !!
