Too much too poorly

Rating: 5/10 (1 May 2009)

Lotta spoilers read only if you saw. If you didn't see this movie don't expect a lot, except some alright action.
Honestly how did they manage to mess this up? They have the Wolverine character whom everybody loves and a great actor for the part. In addition the comics have already chronicled a great story for this character. They had everything they needed... except some sort of competence. The coolest parts were the very beginning showing young Wolverine and the wars he fought. Unfortunately this was only 5 minutes of the movie. They completely befuddled the entire story behind his memory loss. Seriously adamantium bullets? I guess they go through his adamantium skull??? And scramble his brains? So for the rest of the movies he has bullet holes in his skull? Why even bother with this? Stupid. Oh and Scotts ruby quartz aviators? Seriously the story behind him was that he could not control his eyes and only through working with xavier could he control it, but nooo somehow high school cyclops managed to figure out that the one unique rock that can stop his mutant powers is ruby quartz and then he made his own home made aviators. Seriously... Oh and then you have hugh jackman also playing Wolverines father who.... isn't his real father. Why not have jackman play the paternal father? I guess that makes too much sense. Gambit had a good role, but then in the middle of a battle after gambit was out of the picture from quite some time he comes literally bouncing back into the fight. This was just silly.
Besides all these things that would make a comic fan cringe there is the simple fact that they once again tried to do too much, kind of like Spidey 3. There were so many characters that really just were not necessary to bring in or even show. Hence there was very little, if any character development. Wolverines whole love life was rushed and done rather poorly. His GF had one important line which Wolvie then basis himself around for the rest of the movie. The whole faking death thing was rather stupid imo. I really did not expect this to be a great movies, but what I did expect was that they would give me something enjoyable and I was severely disappointed. What we got was a rushed hashed up version of well I don't even know.
