X-Men Origins: Wolverine Review

FRESH: 6/10  6/10

Movie:  After work I ran over to Taikoo Shing to get a late showing of the new Wolverine movie:

I guess you could call this a prequel to the first X-men film. As the title implies, it tells the origin of the most interesting of the X-men characters, Wolverine, as played by Hugh Jackman.

Its definitely not Shakespeare, but for the most part its typical comic book fun... entertaining, decently made.... but of course gravity and a bit logic impaired at times, but thats forgivable. One fault I found that was hard to ignore was the CG. Some of it looks pretty good, but there are more than a few scenes that don't look very good... in fact in a few spots its just plain bad.

anyway, still worth checking out if you're into comic book movies.

ALSO there IS something at the end of the credits.

update: WOW, the tomatometer really dropped on this!  it was like 70+% when I put my review in (before the US open), now its down to 37%.  I guess I don't feel bad about my not-super-positive review now. :-P

bryan - its nothing special actually, he is just shown drinking in a japanese bar speaking japanese talking to a 'hostess' about how depressed he is that everything got f'ed up in his life (as the finale of the movie had just done).
