X-Men Origins: Wolverine


I went to go see the new Wolverine movie the other day. I was so excited because this character is so iconic. I grew up with three brothers who were all huge X-men fans so, naturally, I became one too. The whole wolverine story was a very interesting story for me growing up. I felt,after seeing this film, that they did great justice to Wolverine and Sabertooth. They cast them well and alot of background information regarding them was divulged in this film. For that I was immensely pleased. But, I had some major issues with the quality of their visual effects. For example, there was a major discrepency with the wolverine claws matching the actual film footage. The lighting on them as well as their textures were too clean and did not look right when they composited them into the scene. The other major problem I noticed was, like X-Men 3, they tried to put in too many important/iconic characters into too little time allowed in the film. They also completely ruined the Deadpool character... I was very surprised and deeply saddened to see how they messed his character up so bad. He ws a big icon for many people and I can see how they were upset by and disappointed by his depiction in this film. Overall Id probably give it maybe three stars... It was a very entertaining film. It just seriously lacked in the script, storyline, and continuity/believability departments.
