Not as bad as it was made out to be

Rating: 8/10 (8 May 2009)

I am not a die hard comic book fan but I do enjoy them and I enjoyed the other X-Men movies that were made. I was excited when I heard Wolverine was coming out and then disappointed when I heard so many bad reviews. I went to go see it anyway and it really wasn't that bad. All the actors did a good job and the special effects were cool. I have to say though that the writing was the film's main flaw. If they had had some half-way decent writers then the film would have been ten times better but as it is, it is still a sun action flick with super heroes kicking ass.
I think the main reason it was panned was that people were expecting it to be on par with The Dark Knight, which was the best comic book based movie I have ever seen. I think it is the standard that all comic book movies are being held to now and that is a good and bad thing.
No Wolverine wasn't bad but if you are going expecting to see a movie to rival The Dark Knight don't go because you won't enjoy yourself. If you want a fun action flick then I recommend it.
