Awful, Just plain awful!

Rating: 1/10 (9 May 2009)

This movie is terrible. I can say, without doubt, that anybody that is over 15 and is a comic book fan will hate this movie.
I grew up reading comics, and Wolverine is one of my favourite characters. Granted comics running for so long can cover a lot more but this movie went for flashes and bangs instead of any kind of storyline.
The opening scene contains about two minutes of the Quesada, Jemas and Jenkins graphic novel, which (in the GN) establishes Wolverines connection to Sabretooth and why he choose the name Logan. The movie just leaves out the name part and creates a horrible relationship between the two main characters. Then a 4 minute montage tells the rest of their story without adding any weight to the characters.
The rest of the movie seems like the screenwriters (Benioff & Woods) just wanted to add as many characters as they could without even reading profiles of the characters and their abilities. They threw in what people would have known from the other movies but even compromised on those established facts as well (having wolverine losing his memories well after the adamantium procedure rather than during)
The special effects were well below par. A horrible green-screen shot with a bunch of kids running to a helicopter being my personal favourite.
I will give credit to the casting director though... as long as they didn't insist on creating a character for Will.I.Am, who didn't do badly, but whose character wasn't needed. I'm sure all of the cast and the director would have done a fantastic job, if it weren't for this horrific script.
Anybody that had any control over the writing in this peace of %#!& should be punish for crimes against cinema... the penalty for such crimes should be the clockwork orange torture, and this movie on the screen.
