"your country needs you, Logan." --- i'm Canadian.

Rating: 6/10 (18 December 2009)

i grew up on wolverine. i have played every wolverine video game, i've read 24572340574523452346 wolverine comics, and i was wolverine on Halloween. just so you know, x-men 1 for Sega Genesis was the best game of them all. i could beat that game with wolverine and a little night-crawler. but i digress... before you sit down to watch this here movie, you gotta get ready to see all your favorite wolverine stories get completely changed. that's easy enough, there are plenty of comics out there that re-tell origins of super heroes. the only thing that matters is that they got the spirit of wolverine right.
does he kill a whole mess load of people? yes. does he smoke cigars and say "i'm the best there is at what i do"? yes. does he get LAAAAAAAAIIIIID? yes. you think he's intimidated when agent zero shoots his cigar out of his mouth? shoot no, son! he keeps talking' smack, then he rolls up his sleeves and lets loose.
so you think this movie is gonna turn out okay until wolverine reaches the absurdly over powered final boss. it's like the bad guys said "crap, we lost weapon x! that's okay, we'll make a new one with a healing factor. but this time with swords in his hands. and eye lasers. and teleporting powers." super lame.
then to top it off, in the very end, an old man, who isn't even a ninja, sneaks up on wolverine and shoots him. this movie shows my boy Logan using his heightened senses to determine if a person is lying to him. he can hear people talking in another room, when he's half dead submerged in water inside of a tank. and yet an old man can catch him by surprise. i hate you twentieth century fox. i hate you.
