X-Men Origins: Wolverine (PG13) - Review
"Go SNIKT Yourself"
"Go SNIKT Yourself"
Fox now attempts to ruin the one huge star of their now
wilting Super Hero platform as Wolverine gets some unwise alone time in this
prequelish revealing of his past, this time only finding the depths of
stupidity in the studio system. Wolvy is
barely able to hold up the film, finding a complete lack of respect for the
books that spawned him and terrible decisions regarding his regressive
past. It must be noted that XMO:W is
loosely based on the Origins comic book, a best seller and lowpoint in the more
modern machismo of the ancient Canadian furball, so it all can’t be blamed on
the filmmakers, but let’s try.
Sabertooth (now with correct attitude if not the correct look) turns out
to be his long lost step brother who has bloodied his life at every
opportunity. After fighting in Vietnam,
the long lived Logan is recruited by Team X, and after being instilled with the
miracle metal Adamantium is forced to fight his former teammates (all second
string characters or actors) to avenge his lost lady love. Who will avenge the legacy of Wolverine being
the cool X-Man, or of fan favorite Wade Wilson (played by Ryan Reynolds who
cannot get a break), who is so spat upon here as to make any return to the
Marvel Universe an unlikely prospect.
The whole movie reeks to high heaven in plot and execution, with zgrade
special effects and paper thin plotting.
It’s a good thing that Wolverine has lost his memory by the time X-Men 1
rolls around, if only the same could be said of his target viewing audience.
2 Bone Claws out of 10 (AWFUL)
