boe_dye sez: against my better judgement... i saw it...

Rating: 3/10 (7 May 2009)

Lessee here...
If there was a so-called work print edition, then I am amazed... The cgi and the effects in the theatrical edition were par with the standards of 10 years ago.
That bummed me out...
Let's keep going...
Gambit... Yeah... Thick suave Cajun. Nope, not here, instead we have a sort of young looking Johnny Depp like fellow who kinda goes in and out of a very watered down version of a French Quarter accent...
No "Mon Ami", or trademark Gambitness...
*****SPOILER******* Silverfox. She dies. Sabertooth kills her. YEARS AGO. There is no conspiracy in which she is involved in, and the White Queen is not her sister.
Deadpool. Ryan Reynolds could have been a great Deadpool. He's such a smart alec wise cracking sort.... And in the beginning it started out well, minus the mask, but then for no apparent reason, they started giving him all these powers. Cyclops eye beams, Wolverines Healing Factor, Wraith's teleportation (which in all honesty I don't know much about Wraith to begin with), Mystiques acrobatic fighting ability...
BARAKA FROM MORTAL KOMBAT'S SWORDS OUT OF THE ARM!!!!!!!!! (Yes, they turned him into Baraka!!!) Patrick Stewart - My God the man looked like the victim of botox therapy gone wrong and standing in the middle of an exploding wax factory. So bad in fact that he looked almost CGI.
Cyclops - You know... Why was he even in this? He didn't need to be in it.
and finally...
Getting shot in the head with Adamantium bullets will make you lose your memory...
let's try this again...
GETTING SHOT IN THE HEAD WITH ADAMANTIUM BULLETS WILL CAUSE YOU TO LOSE YOUR MEMORY!!! I mean what is that? So now wolverine is walking around with two bullets in his skull and two matching holes? And lastly...
You would think that Victor could have called "Jimmy" AKA Logon, "Runt" at least once? And what was going on with him running up the walls? And for that matter what was up with Gambit being able to defy gravity? I thought his power was the ability to charge objects with kinetic energy! ****Spoilers End Here**** The only real redeeming factors of this movie is Hugh Jackman was born to play Wolverine. The man is a great actor. It's just a shame that he got stuck with such a crappy script and director.
Liev Shrieber. He is actually really great as Sabertooth. They both played their parts well.
And with the exception of everything else, which in all honesty is what made the movie the movie, it was alright.
The beginning started out well, and the credits were pretty good, showing Logan and Victor throughout history, but each subsequent scene after that just got worse and worse and worse.
Like driving your motorcycle from Canada to Reno Nevada in one day? The from Reno to New Orleans in a few hours? ...
Hollywood has once again failed me in a manner that makes me wonder: Why am I spending money at the movies anymore? Why am I even going out and wasting my money on big screen adaptations of my childhood that are only going to disappoint and criticize.
I can understand some nitpicking. I can understand some variations. But this is just at total departure of what was.
This movie would be great for a person who has no idea about wolverine or xmen... But for the fans that provided the bread and the butter for Marvel Comics all of these years, we are left once again standing on the outside looking in...
