wolverine is no dark knight

Rating: 4/10 (14 May 2009)

Wolverine i thought was one of the few characters of the xmen series that can have his own movie. I like the first lets say 20 mins in this film but hated the rest because this movie was plain and very cliché movie moving from wolverine origins to a typical revenge movie and overall I was disappointed, even the mutant myth and complexity is gone which the first xmen movie which in my opinion is the best showed. There is no intensity or any feel of danger in this film with no surprises. The movie should of just have wolverine and enemy sabertooth because crunching other comic characters was such a waste, In the movie wolverine gets information from every a comic character, then they have a useless fight between for no reason, the built up of the fight scene how it begins is boring especially Gambit. When I left the cinema there was really nothing to talk about with this movie, it just feels like a cheap spin off.
However I understand being this is wolverine's movie that some of the characters you have to buy the fact that they appear in the movie without being too much develop. But I thought they should of have Ryan Renolds as an asset to this but was wasted in this movie. Ryan was golden and perfect match playing Wade Wilson for the small screen time he had and his action scene was the best of the film, thats why i like the first 20 minutes or so, but like I say his character was wasted in this movie and wade Wilson would of been a memorable character but was quickly forgotten because he was hardly in it.
Wolverine is not as dark, compelling or animalistic as I thought it would of been. Oh and one more thing sometimes a movie just gotta be rated R I mean come on wolverine has these blades and he's fighting people slicing and dicing them both no blood.
Uninspired action flick rent it
