That Bitter Taste...

Rating: 6/10 (19 May 2014)

This movie: I can sum it up with one word... Bitter. Not because it was bad, or boring, or just plain old terrible but because I had extremely mixed thoughts about it and cannot quite decide whether or not it was good or bad.
The action was brilliant as it always is in these types of movies; Wolverine is just a badass in the film, but at the same time, I felt like this movie could have been something more... A lot more. The story was boring as hell for starters. The characters and the way they portrayed them seemed to feel dry -- the love story was extremely boring -- not to mention the amount of build up to typical action scenes. Just wasn't worth it.
Some action scenes did feel exciting to watch, and the effects were not bad for 2009. Out of all the X-Men movies I've seen, this one probably has the best action in it and is probably the most enjoyable. The story and the mediocre-cliché love story ruined it. Same with the rubbish and forgettable characters.
6/10.
