Never a good sign when the opening sequence is the best part.

Rating: 5/10 (21 May 2009)

This movie was okay. That's all. It wasn't great and it wasn't terrible. My favorite part was the "opening" war sequence which showed Wolverine and Victor fighting side by side in great wars across centuries of conflict. Then again, I like war movies so that is what hooked me.
However, by the end I was checking my phone to see if the predictable writing and CGI overload was ending soon so I could go to bed.
My friend and I were the only ones in the theater so when something blatantly unrealistic happened we didn't fail to share with the other. Something that still bothers me and shows how details were simply ignored was; when Wolverine is thrown into the truck/big rig/logger the truck driver never stops. Really? I know hit and runs happen all the time but usually not with truck drivers and not in a small logging community in Canada.
Movies based on fantasy and those which rely on a certain amount of suspended disbelief need to keep the "real" parts of the movie realistic and consistent in order to allow the fantasy a place to play without leaving the audience feeling disconnected and disinterested.
