X-Men anticlimaxes: Wolverine

Rating: 3/10 (1 May 2009)

Oh my god. After hearing that Hugh Jackman was beside himself due to the rough cut of this movie being pirated, I braced myself for what I thought was going to be an excellent marvel movie. No no no. This movie is a inglorious mix of different wolverine legends and marvel characters. I was hoping for the same kind of dark magic woven in "X-Men 2", but I got something like "Elektra" instead. As a bit of a comic book geek, I feel that marvel's key demographic should be pandered to a little more. Character's should be treated with a little more respect, and a little continuity wouldn't kill anyone. Here's whats annoying: Who the hell was Sabertooth in the first "X-Men" movie? Much of Dead Pool's appeal lies in the fact that he's a wise cracking psychopath, his mouth is surgically shut and he's a zombie in this flick> Why are Logan and Victor enemies if he didn't kill his wife? The old couple really didn't have it coming, plus its hard to care. I'm just whining at this point. Its a terrible movie, the special effects don't save it, sorry Hugh. PANTS
