Mockery of the comics

Rating: 1/10 (1 May 2009)

This movie is X-3 all over again. They ruined the characters with some minor exceptions. Liev Schreiber is a good actor. I have liked him in a number of films including Scream 2 & 3, Phantoms, Sphere, and his short stint on CSI Vegas. He was a good choice for the part and plays it well, it just sucks that it was in a movie with a script that destroys the original mythology of the characters.
Deadpool held my interest in this movie more than anything. He was played very well by Ryan Reynolds but was basically removed from the movie after the idiotic plot twist. Deadpool was suppose to get a spin off but now will not because he gets killed and because of the absolutely absurd transformation that was made to him.
And then there's the whole "Let's shoot him with Metal (true name not allowed on this site for some reason) bullets in the head to erase his memory." What a crock. They wouldn't have even done something this stupid in the comics. And in X-2, he got shot in the head in the same area. Wolverine is suppose to have 2 bullet holes in his head, those can't heal because of the Metal (true name not allowed on this site for some reason). He would have permanent indents in his forehead which were not shown in x-2 obviously, plus I am sure the bullets would have had to have passed straight through the skull with the high caliber of the gun that was used.
What are the chances that you would actually hit his memory center anyways? You could have ruined his motor functions or made him go completely beast like, made him go blind, etc... hence the movie is a screw up. F this movie. F fox. F the director. F the writing team.
The only saving grace is the acting and nothing else. I hate this movie with a passion. Avoid if you are a fan of the comics.
