Critics' Reviews: Discussion

I can agree with very few points of that review... And what does this mean?



:huh: is there a typo in there, or something? or is my english really that bad? :grin:

That also confused me too. I read the damn thing 3 times in a row. lol
 
Oh, screw them. I enjoyed it and I'm sure many with me. It wasn't nearly as bad as they make it sound. It's actually good. 4 stars from me. To hell with those reviewers.

I give it 4 starts too.

4 out of 100.

Everything they mention is true though. It might hold good entertainment value with it's effects and action scenes. But the story definitely isn't the movies strong point.
 
I do agree with some things in that Review, but I can't fairly judge until I've seen it in the cinema. And I do disagree with a lot of things, some things are blown out of proportion.

Whatever.... :whatever: I think the movie is good. And I don't care if you think I have a bad taste concerning movies. Because good or bad is in the eye of the beholder. This may contradict everything I've said so far. I couldn't care less. :D
 
Like, why does he stop ageing when he becomes Hugh Jackman?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...that has been the funniest thing I have read in a while.

Not saying you have bad taste. It's your personal opinion. But it's not exactly fair to say "Screw them." because their opinion differs from yours. They list valid points.
 
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 :p

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 it’s hard to take a villain seriously when he’s dumb enough to wait until after an invincibility operation to attempt to erase the hero’s 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 there’s 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 doesn’t 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 (Lost’s Kevin Durand), who belong in another film or Sky1’s Gladiators. Gambit’s 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)
 
Can everyone stop making moody origin stories now, please?

Now I know why most everyone is calling this a better movie then Batman Begins. It sounds like they took the angst of BB but added much better action.

Who's saying this? :huh:
 
You are going to be doing that alot because come Thursday, the flood gates will open.
Nah, I'll just state my POW at the most. If others disagree, it's just a matter of preferences. I wouldn't be the first time that I enjoy a lot a movie hated by most people, or viceversa...

What gets me is stuff that's not just about personal preferences (you liked, you don't, fine), but passing as fact dumb statements like "this Wolverine ruins the cool Wolverine of the trilogy". That sounds like scraping the bottom of the barrel looking for bad things to say about the movie

I agree that review was a bit harsh but to me it is just as silly as a few of those on RT right now that say this movie caters to the intelligent movie going crowd, that it pays attention to details, and it develops its characters.
 
That bullet erases memory bulls**t is still not explained in the final cut???

That makes me sad.:(

Exactly.
 
People find that Empire review "harsh"? Geez.

Best close your eyes for the next upcoming days, I know other reviewers will have a field day with some of the plot holes in this movie.

the voices in his head...:o
I thought so. :hehe:

Exactly.
I don't know how it is in the workprint (I'm watching, but I still haven't seen that part), but in the movie, There is a conversation where Striker says he is gonna shoot Logan in the head, and the Dr tells him that his brain is gonna heal, and Stryker says "but his memories won't". That pretty much explains it. Brain cells don't die, like the rest of the cells in your body, that die and are replaced all the time. That's why we have memories, the information we learn in our life in contained in brain cells. If they die, the information is lost. Logan's Brain grows back, but the brain cells that grow back are new, without data.

My opinion is: Screw them because I don't agree with them. :p
 
It's just a really lame way of causing his memory loss. "Oh, let's give him a really bad concussion."
