Looks Like an Independent Film

Rating: 5/10 (6 June 2009)

Being a Huge fan of the X-men Franchise from childhood , I was completely disappointed with the X-men Movies and in no sense is the feeling any different for X-men Origins. Perhaps the only reason I found any level of entertainment was the fact that Hugh Jackman carried the entire movie franchise as Wolverine -the only character that was given proper screen time and Jackman mastered his role so well that without him this movie would have been a financial failure.
Gavid Hood's direction is highly average. His lack of experience on commercial filmaking is shown here with small scenes where brilliant levels of cinematic creativity is shown. Apart from a couple of really well directed scenes this movie falls flat on its face. The main reason is that the story and screenplay is heavily altered as compared to its comic book counterpart. Many major marvel characters are not given enough screen time .Players like Deadpool and Gambit who are legendary marvel characters are portrayed in such a way that they are merely there to fill the frame. The screenplay itself when studied with detail reveals itself to be a mere story of redemption - a genre that was innovative 20 years back .
Another major ,major setback to this movie are the CGI scenes which look way too fake . Maybe the budget didn't allow high level of technical CGI but still Gavid Hood should have commissioned to take care of this situation .Instead we are left with green screen caliber stunts and digital adamantium claws.
In short this will seriously disappoint Wolverine fans but for the rest of the crowd its a no-brainer
