Lacks soul like all X-men movies

Rating: Null/10 (27 December 2009)

I did not read the comic books, so I'm not mad if the story is different.
I'm mad if the story is boring.
This film is not ALL boring, but too broad, too into your face, too one-dimensional.
I just lost interest one hour into it, and even the not-dead-Kayla only mildly surprised me and her ending was clear.
In a film full of good special effects, I was disappointed when the first bad one came so early in : Viktor "running" up a wall - so BAD!!! The second bad effect that really shocked me was the logs stopping when raining down on Logan: Hello?? That was real bad editing and totally unnecessary.
Why did Gambit fight Wolverine when he's just about to kill Viktor??? Why does Wolverine not decapitate Viktor when he has the chance?? Instead of talking about it - just do it! (I know, I know, not possible cause of the other films....lol) The Blob was soooooooooooooooooo bad!!! Gosh, the bad effects next to the good ones are even more shocking, and while you forgive them in a good film (like Spidey 1), here it takes you further out of the story.
The pace slows sooooo much after that, I thought Ma and Pa Farmhouse were just an intermission, when really they were the last real stop of the storyline. After that it's mashed together. And why does Logan say "They were innocent people"??? As opposed to who??? Surely the man in the jungle not wanting to say where he got the space rock from wasn't guilty?? It's clear that Stryker is the guilty one, and he's not killed...lol.
I don't know.
And every time I write that after having seen a movie I at least know what that means: Will not watch it ever again.
No good story, no heart, no soul.
But maybe I'm just still holding a grudge on Wolverine for hooking up with Famke Janssen *urgh*...;-))), which ruined X-Men for me...lol
Everything's subjective anyway....
An unnecessary film. Cliev Schreiber is great in it, Jackman's OK, Danny Huston's great but bad badly edited. Nice effects. Story not convincing.
Not happy. I will never understand how people who spend so much money on something can hand over a product so faulty without a bad conscience. At least own up!!! (Yeah, that'll be the day....^^)
