Just cause you got bored with the movie and missed out on a few key parts doesn't mean the movie was bad.
It does to me. That's what having an opinion means. And I didn't miss anything, I just didn't like how the movie played out. It felt like a mass of meaningless junk without much point to me. The plot moved forward and one event led to another because, presumably, the people who wrote it weren't high or drunk when they did so, but I didn't get any emotional payoff or feel much weight to anything. It was just a lot of violence and explosions without any of the realistic character development that made the earlier
X-Men films good--and when they did try to do a bit of character work, it was such a tiny blip amidst all the fanwanky cameos and action that it felt almost like a mockery of real emotion. Granted, this is what I remember a year after watching it once; if you want a better analysis than that, I'd have to go back and watch it again, which I'm not going to do.
But the idea that only comic fans hated the film is just not accurate. Look up the top critics' reviews on Rotten Tomatoes--the people who get paid to analyze movies and whose opinions are actually respected in the industry itself. And before you just claim they're panning it because it's "just a comic book movie," many of those same people gave
Iron Man sparkling reviews on the basis that it's actually, y'know, a
good movie (insofar as anyone giving an opinion on anything as subjective as entertainment can call something "good").
If you liked
Wolverine, that's great. That's not really much of a reason to b**** at the rest of us for not liking it because we read comics and therefore must obviously be biased, period, the end.
