Not what I had hoped for...

Rating: 5/10 (1 May 2009)

I was anticipating for this movie. Having seen the trailers, I thought: "Well let's get ready to kick some a**!!" Maybe I was expecting it to be more like the comic books, where Logan's childhood and personality is much more explored, but I did not see that in the movie.
Logan (finally) delivers his trademark line "I'm the best at what I do...", but whatever it is he does, he doesn't do that much. Same goes for the rest of the bunch. We see him and some fellow mutants. And each one does one or two mutant tricks, and that's about it for every and the whole character. All these characters have so much more potential than what is shown on the screen. A disappointment that they haven't explored that beyond those two mutant tricks.
As for the story, it was OK. Pretty standard Hollywood story, with some minor plot twists, that do not contribute much to the storyline. It's just a straight forward "I'm gonna get you" revenge story.
Well, what's good about the movie then? Some of the action scenes are pretty cool. Like the action scene in the middle, that's the kind of Wolverine we want to see!
Overall I had hoped more from it, but it's watchable. Would I see it again? Mwah.. don't know, it's good for a rainy Sunday. 5/10
