I should have known better.

When Liev Schreiber comes out of the trailer and says something like 'Ooo, shiney!' *cheeky grin*, you know you're watching a 2 hour wrestling show because this is what the spot-fest (It's not a film, it's a spot fest) is. It's a piss poor attempt of a story which serves one purpose - to testosterone it up a few notches. It isn't pretty at all. With some of the worst CGI effects in a summer movie since Race to Witch Mountain [Wolverine in the mirror scene] and the lamest reaction scene [Wolverine walking away from a blown up helicopter], I thought it was impossible to do worse than X3 but they did it. They actually managed to do it. 

Whether its source material or not, I cannot judge but with classics like Watchmen, Iron Man and Dark Knight, you thought that they had finally perfected the recipe for superhero movies by making us care for them, Wolverine proves that that isn't the case.

I await reviews from Makakeke and Quickfire.

EDIT: fix some punctuation and paragraphing.

In perspective, I liked Fast and Furious a lot more than I liked this. Jackman while a better actor and more charismatic than Vin Diesel, I cared more for Dom than Logan.

But wouldn't you agree that bigger, louder action sequences come with sequels in a package? I mean, it's only logical that Revenge of the Fallen have bigger sequences than Transformers, no?

I'm jumping straight to Salvation, as long as Bale is in it, I'm salivating.
