X-Men Origins: Wolverine Review

To accommodate my VERY divided thoughts on this movie, I am going to attempt a new review format.


X-Men Origins: Wolverine

2 out of 5


The Good-There are some decent action set pieces, some great one-liners, and c'mon, it's Wolverine...Which brings me to.....

The Bad-I wonder if Bryan Singer is considering a return to the X-Men Franchise, cause this series desperately needs him back. Ever since X-Men 2, this series has been on a downward spiral that seems to have no end in sight. There are A LOT of glaring problems with this film, starting with Deadpool and Gambit. These 2 characters share about 20 minutes of screen time, and they have so much unrealized potential that it almost seems pointless to even include them in this film. These characters need their own movies and be given room to grow, not be reduced to obligatory cameos, or in Deadpool's case, a poorly realized villain.

With all they did wrong with this film, I can only give it 2 out of 5.
