Was it REALLY that bad?

Rating: 5/10 (18 March 2014)

I know that based on the reviews and ratings for Last Stand, this should have been INFINETLY worse, but honestly, I didn't flat out hate it. OK, I think it has some problems, but I didn't think it Completely bombed.
The acting was OK, the cinematography was serviceable and the plot was decent over all. But then, in comes what DIDN'T work. First off, the dialogue got hammy and contrived at times. When Kayla said "I love you" when Logan found her mortally wounded, I felt like that was too cliché and over the top for some reason. Then the effects looked a bit choppy in some shots, like Logan first unsheathing his claws. To me, they looked a little too CG-ish. And the background during the reactor fight kind of made it a little obvious it was green-screened. And lastly, Deadpool was NOT given the proper respect he deserved. If and when they decide to do a Deadpool solo movie, they need to go ALL OUT and just make him as crazy as all hell. Ryan Reynolds' performance was on the right track, but if they want this to work, they need to push it even further.
I don't know why I hated this film LESS than Last Stand, but maybe I'm just a sucker for prequels. Now it's time for First Class. Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique? Yeah, I think I'm in for a fun time. ^_^
