Review by: da-tigger
Dated: 5th of November, 2009
Another X-Men movie. That pretty much says it all, for me. It has the expected large amounts of fast-paced action and battle scenes, with plenty of X-Men doing their "mutant" thing. There is the typical "love interest", betrayal, and new mutants popping in for a small visit. Special effects... nothing really fantastic about them, nothing that hasn't been seen in many other action movies. While Hugh Jackman is still a damn good Wolverine and Liev Schreiber seems to fit the role of Victor Creed/Sabertooth pretty well, Ryan Renolds was rather annoying and weak in his role as Wade Wilson (rather normal for his roles I have found).
As a kid, Wolverine had always been my favourite of the X-Men, so I had been rather looking forward to this movie. It was at least interesting to learn more of Logan's history before he became Wolverine, although I never paid great attention to detail with the cartoon series, and never read the comics, so have no idea how close to the original story of Wolverine this movie really follows.
Quite a disappointment really... another "typical" action movie. Meh, as I said, just another X-Men movie. Those who have enjoyed the previous movies may enjoy this one, just don't expect anything more than "the same old".
