Entertaining empty calorie action film, leaving a rather full yet bland taste in my mouth...

Rating: 5/10 (1 May 2009)

The movie was OK... it was pretty good on the entertainment level and I found myself smiling in certain scenes but I also found myself mentally frowning in many scenes...
I really liked the Wade Wilson character and they didn't give him much screen-time in the beginning so I thought that was for sure a waste. I also liked Agent Zero... hell I loved the opening with them all working as a group.. I thought that was pretty well executed.
I really wished the action scenes were better choreographed and better edited.. The super fast cuts took me out of the fight sequences for the most part and there were not many moments were you just were in awe during the fight scenes...
Unfortunately I'm going to have to admit too that there was at least 1 or 2 spots were I sensed bad acting and took me out of the film... from Danny Huston... esp. when Wolverine was choking him... Didn't really like that...
I also agree, the special effects in certain scenes were very under handed, especially during that bathroom scene... I thought that was laughably embarrassingly bad....
Gambit's character was one of my favorites and I wish they did more with him... I cannot figure out what about this movie I didn't like too much.. but I think it was the construction of the story and the multiple underdeveloped characters...
It's very straight forward and it DOES entertain but it left a very bland taste in my mouth, if you know what I mean?
