My God! That was really BAD!

Rating: 4/10 (30 April 2009)

I mean BAD! No kidding, this movie is on par with Ghost Rider. Not awful, but one of the weakest comic book movies ever made. And you know what? I loved the X-Men movies. I love the comic books (the Chris Claremont-series), and of course Wolverine is one of my favorites character. He's badass, cool, and mean son-of-a-b*tch. He doesn't't f*ckin' around. Don't get me wrong, in the previous X-Men flicks I really liked Hugh Jackman's performance as Logan. He was great. But the difference is that those movies had a great director. A director who can handle the entire mythology, who gave us a faithful comic book adaption. Now we have Gavin Hood. He doesn't have a clue what's going on in this universe. He doesn't know who is Wolverine, he doesn't understand the character, etc. Of course the action scenes are not so bad, the final action is pretty good I say, but that's just not enough. Remember Brian Cox from the X2? He was an awesome Stryker! Danny Huston is just...Well...He's bad. I wanted to slap him in the face, but not in a good way. Brian Cox was the devil but Danny Huston was pretty lame. Liev as Sabertooth was pretty good, though. So what? Didn't change anything. Oh and for f*ck's sake, what the hell is Cyclops doing in this movie? And how the hell got his glasses before he met Xavier? It's just plain damn lame. The opening scene sucks too. So why I gave this movie 4/10? Good question! Maybe didn't worth that much, but I can't entirely hate it. You know Gambit was a cool guy in this picture. Cool, but not enough screen time. Damn! Not a very good picture, but not as bad as Catwoman. That's something, heh?
