Exceeded my expectations

Rating: 7/10 (30 May 2009)

I did not have high hopes for the movie, so I was pleasantly surprised when I was watching it. It was great, how they stuck to mostly all Wolverine facts. Adamantium in the bones, experiments done on him, lost memory... One thing bugged me though. In the end of Origins: Wolverine, Cyclops met Logan ( or at least he saw him when Logan was rescuing the mutants ), but in the first X-Men movie he doesn't appear to recognize him. It is understandable for Logan not to recognize Cyclops, because of all " bullet in the head " thing, but Cyclops should have known Logan. The special effects were above average and I liked the fact that Wolverine had a mutant brother with similar abilities. The mutant in the end was a bit too much and it was weird that Logan could defeat him, but I guess we all saw that coming. Oh yeah, why did Stryker stop walking at the end of the movie? The woman mutant told him not to stop. What the hell ?? All in all, it was 107 minutes well spent.
