Comes and goes

Rating: 5/10 (2 April 2011)

I wanted to like this, I really did. I sat down and I told myself that this was going to be my new favorite super-hero film, that Spider-Man was trash compared to this. I lied to . Honestly, for the first half hour I found myself either twiddling my thumbs or scratching my head in confusion.
After that half hour, though, I started to understand what was happening and I was starting to enjoy myself. And then there was a bizarre fight scene and I lost all interest again. Twenty minutes later I got interested again- but this is NOT a consistent film. I was horrified to find out I still had forty minutes to watch, but I stuck it out. And I thought it was worth it to sit through the mindless arguments and random fights, because I was starting to get into it. Yes, there are some great moments in this film, but they're smothered by bizarre conversations, too many innocent people getting killed and WAY too many flashbacks. (We get it, Wolverine wants vengeance!)
If you're the type for unnecessary explosions and random sword fights (because technically their hands count as swords) then this is perfect for you. But if you're the innocent movie- goer who's hoping for the next best super-hero flick since Tobey Maguire swung across the screen as the invincible Spider-Man, I warn you- DO NOT SEE THIS! You will lose an hour and fifty minutes of your life!
