Truth be told I know plenty of teenage girls who fawn over Hugh Jackman too.
What can I say...we've got good taste.
Honestly though, if I had to choose between that scene or a better movie that was closer to the comics, I would have taken the better movie. I did enjoy the film (it was downright Shakespearean next to TF2, which I loathed), but man, they could have blown it open a whole lot more than they did.
I think they should have extended out the Team X scenes - the stuff they had was really good, and Logan needed to do more than stand around disapproving of all of it. Also, I would have had him do a whole X2-style takedown of that prison at the end.
I loved Liev as Victor, would have liked to have scene more of him. I wasn't all that familiar with Deadpool so I wasn't freaked out about those changes like a lot of people were, but Ryan Reynolds was gold and I thought he should have had a bigger part.
The Weapon X stuff from the comics probably would have pushed the PG-13, but it at least should have matched up with the stuff we saw in X1 and X2. My biggest issue with the bullet is that it's obvious in X1 that there are no bullet holes in his skull when Jean is looking at his x-rays. Unless they explain that away in a sequel, it's a big plot hole.
I was fine with it being just movieverse Origin rather than comicverse Origin because a lot of what they established in the previous films was already different, and Wolverine's backstory is so convoluted anyway that they really needed to create their own story. It just needed to be a stronger story. They never even explained why he's called Logan.
In the end, I did enjoy a lot of it and thought it was a far cry better than X3, but it should have been a whole lot better. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll get much better while Fox is calling the shots on these films.
