Even worse than X-Men 3, despite a few decent scenes

Rating: Null/10 (23 April 2009)

I just recently saw this, and was very disappointed. Since I won't post spoilers, I'll make this short.
There are only a few decent scenes, and the performances from Jackman and Schrieber are decent enough, but that can't fix the film's problems.
Bad pacing. Bad writing. Terrible action and overly CG FX. Characters appearing from nowhere (all of Stryker's team) with little to no characterization. An overly invincible Logan/Jimmy before he has the adamantium, which seems a bit unrealistic for his character at that point. Too little screen time for both Logan/Jimmy/Wolverine and Victor. Bland music and mostly bland cinematography minus one scene of a waterfall.
No tension and bad to average editing. Also, how Wade turns out is silly IMO, and there's a twist at the end that wasn't pulled off well.
The acting from Huston as Stryker is one of the weaker performances in the movie, and they should have had Cox return.
There's only ONE pretty good scene in the movie that happens in the middle of the movie, but on a whole, 85% of the movie is AWFUL, with 15% being just average. Also, the final version is only 1hr 47mns which felt very rushed.
