Very minor spoilers...
Alright folks, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a basic superhero action movie. It's filled with tons of special effects and great fight scenes. So why so many negative reviews?
People are arrogant, plain and simple. Some of the reviews I have read are clearly from those who think they are on a different level of intellect than the rest of the world. Who cares about relationship development in a superhero movie? The reason films like these are constructed is to blow you away with action, which this one delivers.
They throw you into Wolverine's life. It doesn't unveil much about the beginning of his exploits, you just kind of go with what they give you. But this is the part that I don't quite understand why people care. Honestly who is concerned with Wolverine's relationship with his family as a child. I chose to view this movie for the simple fact that it is packed with Wolverine going to town on people with his claws.
Liev Schreiber made an excellent villain. Along with Hugh Jackman I thought the acting was right on par. I was hoping Ryan Reynolds would be more involved, but will.i.am was entertaining in his absence.
Gambit was also a nice surprise to see. The mutants on display in this movie were fun to watch. If you liked the X-Men movies, hopefully you will enjoy this as well. Of course it's predictable, but it's still a great watch. If you're looking for a ridiculous plot with surprises everywhere and Emmy winning writing go watch something else.
