I'll address the negative points of the review, with my opinion
Even a brief prologue in 1840s Canada, showing Wolvie and his half-brother Victor Creed (aka Sabretooth) as kids, raises questions that are never answered. Like, why does he stop ageing when he becomes Hugh Jackman? Or, who the Weapon X is his father and why do we care?
IMO, the scene is rushed, but that's it. Who cares who is his father? (and the question is answered, verbally and immediately, in the movie). About the aging... come on, just a little suspention of disbelief to assume that he stops aging when he gets to adulthood? Let's just imagine nature was smart enough for giving him that and not turning him into a baby that never gets old (go watch Twilight, Empire!) or a Benjamin Button that grows old and then back
A key scene which has been teased in flashback stabs throughout the X-Men series sees James Logan become Wolverine via extraordinarily painful surgery that coats his skeleton and bone-claws with indestructible metal adamantium, overseen by evil army czar Stryker. But its hard to take a villain seriously when hes dumb enough to wait until after an invincibility operation to attempt to erase the heros memory.
OK, he thinks is dumb, to attempt to erase his memory after the procedure... maybe they needed Logan under control and that wasn't until it was unconscious...
Later, realising theres not much in the way of tension when nothing can harm the protagonist, the writers introduce something that can: a gun with adamantium bullets. But later still, Stryker changes his mind and declares that an adamantium bullet would only make Wolverine forget things. How would he know?!
How would he know? Maybe because he has a brain and went to school?
the gruffly tortured, sarky character we love from the X-Men movies modified into an angsty, generic Hero Who Just Wants A Quiet Life But Is Forced Back Into Action.
I can understand if someone doesn't like the character, but he is not that different from the X-Men trilogy. If you don't like it, fine, but is not worst...
It doesnt help that Ryan Reynolds, who turns up near the start of the film as sword-spinning mutant Wade Wilson, oozes charisma and the kind of deadpan, one-liner-dispensing attitude the neutered Jackman used to possess. His screentime is annoyingly brief, as is that of Dominic Monaghan, whose ill-fated Bolt has an appealing sadness.
True, Wade was fun and was missed the rest of the movie... But who cares about Dominic Monaghan? THAT was a generic character, not Wolverine!
Much more time is dedicated to rubbish mutants Wraith (rapper Will.i.am) and The Blob (Losts Kevin Durand), who belong in another film or Sky1s Gladiators. Gambits a let-down too.
Completely disagree. Wraith, Blob and Gambit were fun, and they really served the plot (Bradley and Deadpool could have been switched with any other character and get the same story)
is there a typo in there, or something? or is my english really that bad?
