OK, first thing is I stopped reading X-Men about 20 years ago (around issue #230?) So, I can't speak for the 'accuracy' of this story. But, as a movie script..it's weak. So, I'm to believe that Wolverine and Sabertooth are related, that they both are practically immortal, and Wolverine was just FINE with war and killing until about 100 years had past? Just a bit weak to me. And it's short! 107 minutes!? This franchise has lots of fans, they'll be willing to sit through 120 or so for a better story. Normally I don't do spoilers but I have to mention the following as examples of poor writing. 1. Wolvie is sick (with the puberty/mutant change I suppose) and then he hears a shot, jumps out of bed, runs to see his dad die, freaks out, and kills the murderer; except Surprise!, it wasn't his real dad, the killer is. oops! ..say What? 2. Doesn't anyone notice how these two soldiers are fine after battles? Even though their clothes would have holes and blood? 3. Firing Squad scene - I'd much rather have their lawyer argue that since sentence was executed, they should be free. Not their fault they can't be killed. 4. Boy! the 'Team' sure has some fast jumping dudes! Oh and that rock they went in after...uhm...why not send Teleport fella in, *pop*, grab rock, *pop*, all done! 5. OK, wife's death a fake. Why? Her objective was to goad Wolvie at Sabertooth, which in turn gives him to Stryker. Fine, Stryker is a cold SOB so is Sabertooth..she's done, DO IT for real and then she's out of the equation. Besides, Wolverine's animal senses should have detected the blood that isn't her's or something. 6. That was fast! So, presto adamantium is now in him. My he moves well for someone just made quite a bit heaver, IMO. 7. Got Adamantium bullets!? He's escaped! GIVE THEM TO Agent Zero! jeeze! he can shoot like Alvin York! but no,..
I think that's where I pretty much lost interest. But there is quite a bit more... Oh! I did forgot to mention the Scott Summers and the How-the-heck-did-he-find-out-that-ruby-quartz-stops-his-power bit.
The effects are nice and I'm a fan, so It gets a small bump.
