What kind of ratings are you guys giving this movie ? I'm expecting 7 / 10 at best ? Pros and cons ?

will be watching this tonight.

Heard its the "yeah, yeah, another action movie, but not Peter Jackson genius stuff..."

So I'm going in hoping to get some awesome Wolvie action.

Watch the entire leaked Wolverine footage:

I wonder what the whole fuss about "this movie sucks" was. I just came back from the watching the movie and I must say, while it isn't the best action flick, it was still X-Men and it was still plenty of fun.

I understand the low ratings - - the story is fine, the actions are OK, but the overall movie is more like a popcorn flick. It was done because it COULD be done. There were a few awesome moments in the movie. I love the part where Wolvie gets all mad. His adamantium claws are freakin awesome. Since watching the first X-Men movie, the word "adamantium" was stuck in my mind. Glad to finally hear the name again.

In the trailer, we see young Storm turning around. But in the movie, its absent. Scott Summers screen time was so limited. At least he was in it. We also get to see... Professor Xavier !

About the ending...



After the credits


There were only 4 ppl in the cinema watching till past credits. The new trend in movies (especially blockbuster flicks) are doing this (after credits scene, not moments after credits start rolling).

Overall from me,

7.0 / 10

Pros - - good action sequences, pretty spectacular moments (Wolverine scenes) and plenty of popcorn to chew.

Cons - - the visual effects could have been more polished (e.g Wolvie in the mirror in the old folk's home looks fake, driving scene) and wish there were more screen time for young mutants

Final verdict
Go watch this movie if you're into X-Men and if you just want to start the summer movies season.

I admit the visual effects were less than spectacular at certain moments.

The movie wasn't that bad. I went into the cinema thinking "OK, I hope this isn't going to leave me feeling like 'Eragon' "

Overall, it got a 7/10 from me. That's good (but not great). The story is quite thin and it really just seem to pile on Stryker as the driving force of the entire story.

No idea who he is until i wiki.

Dumb scenes in Wolverine

1. The chopping of the stair case.
-> OMG. When I saw it I just chuckled.

2. The fight with the fatty.
-> OMG. WTH. Totally unnecessary.

3. The fight with Stryker every now and then.
-> Seriously.

4. The killing of so many characters that you just wish had more screen time.
-> Scott Summers is in this movie ! Wow ! Yeah...

5. Wolverine funny scenes.
-> Especially in the barn house. His claws looked uber faked in CG in front of the mirror.

6. The ending
-> It ended with a so-called "super fight scene". Seriously speaking, it wasn't that great. It was OK. Just at the right moment Gambit arrives. Wow.

7. Professor Xavier
-> It looked as if they used a home computer to try to make his face look younger as the first few seconds, it was freakin weird.

Reasons for mediocre reception

1. Plot is quite thin.

2. Screen time of characters too little.

3. Styker is annoying and the whole "I hate you I want to kill you" gets old quickly.

Nice moments

1. Wolverine coming out of the tank. RRrraagh !

2. Helicopter scene. Dude jumps on it. Blades get cut.

Somehow I felt this movie was "rushed". It was not baked properly... it could have gone and one a few more months of work.

After reading some stuff on this movie and X-Men, OMG... this movie really missed a lot of stuff. The most obvious was - - - WTH is that how Deadpool looks like ? That's miles different.

Best movie of 2009 ? Wow. That is a little bit too much praise. It was an OK action flick, and believe me, easily other summer movies are going to beat it. "Star Trek" just did it, wait for "Terminator" and even "Disney PIXAR Up"

I'd say its average at best. The movie's plot is really thin and the character depth is questionable. Besides, there are really mediocre visual effects moments.
