Big Budget Blandness

Rating: Null/10 (12 July 2011)

Hollywood still seems to think that the way to do well at the box office is to throw huge amounts of money at a project and have most of that budget allocated to the special effects. This movie could have been great, James M. still did a good job with the poor script that he had, and the rest of the cast were fine too-Kevin Bacon especially - pulled off the Shaw role really well... Come on though Hollywood! Why take a great story and turn it into this trite waste of money?
Oh it has to be ten lines of comprehensive-reviewing-text does it? That seems a little unnecessary - what about the idea of 'short and sweet'? After all - can a haiku not be at least as profound and effective as an epic poem? But I digress...
One other thing I can relate about the merits of this film - it has the most convincing Wolverine performance yet ;-) That, at least, made me smile ;-)
