My Bullet Point Wolvie Review


So the Wolverine movie...What do I say after that 2 hours of mashed up images?

I will review this movie in bullet points, pros and cons (SPOILERS AHEAD)

Pros
  • The guys are HOT! Hugh, Ryan, Liev, Taylor, Daniel (in fact, Liev brought the sexy in his version of Sabertooth)
  • Some of the action was good...just some.
  • We saw Hugh's butt and he wore tight jeans a lot.
Cons
  • The plot made no sense, it completely crapped on Wolverine's past.
  • The 1st 30 minutes were a blur of storylines that just confused everyone.
  • There were no mention of Wolvie's Asian past.
  • Too many explosions.
  • They took too many liberties with the characters. Gambit's powers and The Blob's powers were remixed and overhauled. Emma Frost's diamond shell is a secondary mutation. It was too much.
  • Silver Fox and Emma Frost were sisters...WTF?
  • They never talked about the Wolvie's healing factor.
  • The fight scenes were predicable.
  • Fox Studios made this mess.
  • Sabertooth could have done more, he was boring, hot, but boring.
The movie was better than X-Men 3, but by an inch. The folks at Fox should stop and look at the mess they are making with Marvel Comics. I am so glad that Marvel Studios take back the mutants in 2012.

So the movie was bad, but you may to see it to believe it.

A friend of mine ( I may have mentioned this) got a hold of the pirated leak. So I saw that some time back. All of the articles that came out said there were 10-12 minutes missing from the movie. then a couple days ago reggie reads an article to me saying there are no missing minutes. I didnt think 10 -12 minutes would make the movie better and now that dont exist.

I have just come to the conclusion that these movies are not targeted at the target audience. They seem to work really well as long as you have absolutley no idea who the characters are ahead of time and you dont mind them being marginalized to further a Wolverine plot (cause arent they all in the end about Wolverine anyway?)

And they made Logan and Creed brothers WTF???!!!!!!!

What did they do with Deadpool? Did Ryan Reynolds hold up and stay pretty, which would make no sense. Or did they deform him like he should be?
