X Men Origins a thumbs down!

Rating: 5/10 (14 May 2009)

Whilst most of the film is entertaining and true to how we expect mutants to behave the film is spoilt by poor photography. In many scenes it is possible to see the safety harness and wires worn by the actors and the CG's of the cooling towers on Three Mile island as extremely poor. A lot of the special effects would make the viewer believe they are watching a poor animation with the actors imposed on top. It should have been so much better! It comes over as a cheaply film hardly feasible that Wolverine and his brother could be over 150 years old but the story starts with Logan and his brother being boys in 1845!
