Wolverine origins: erase memory after movie

Rating: 3/10 (25 August 2009)

The first five minutes of "WOLVERINE" gave me some hope that this might be a cut above other action garbage out there. That hope was gone after 20 minutes.
To give credit where credit is due, there are a few pretty good action sequences, particularly the fight scenes between Wolverine and Victor Creed (Liev Shreiber surprisingly gives a great performance in this). The scene where Wolverine and Creed team up against Mutant X1 on top of the nuclear power plant was well done also. Another good scene was when the elderly couple helping Logan are killed in the barn.
The bad is everything else, like the whole unbelievable plot of the romance with his girlfriend Kayla. And especially bad was how the movie just descends into mindless explosions. The ending was terrible and pointless when Wolverine gets amnesia after the battle. It was frustrating and nearly ruined any good parts. At the end, I wanted Stryker to erase my memory too.
