x-men origins wolverine review

first off let me say that i'm a huge x-men/wolverine fan so this movie was highly anticipated. i heard bad things about it before we went, and have heard even worse things about it now that i've seen it...but i will stick to my guns and say what i feel and not what others are saying. I LOVED IT! i thought it was great. wolverine is more of a stud in my mind, if that's even possible. i liked learning about his past (his father, brother, fighting in all the wars, falling in love, being a lumberjack, etc.) i thought it stayed in tune with the previous x-men movies which is a must being a huge fan of them.

hugh jackman totally buffed out for this movie and it paid off. he was sportin' some serious muscle in this show. nice. haha - ok this review is suppose to be about the movie right?

although there were some cgi issues in a few scenes, the special effects were amazing. the fight scenes (there were plenty of them) were great. one thing i got kinda creeped out about was sabertooth, he was a bit too evil for me at times. and i had a hard time connecting this actor to the actor who plays sabertooth in the original. i kept asking neil, "is that suppose to be the same guy? nah!" he just assured me, "yes, he just grows a major long beard." didn't buy into it. another character issue i had was stryker. he looked nothing like the original. i guess you can't get everything perfect. (reminds me of the rachael dawes issue in the batman movies, it's a bummer).

was totally sad when agent zero sniped off the cute old couple in the barn. how rude! but got some sweet revenge when wolverine blew the crap out of his helicopter. that was cool.

i liked the introduction of new characters. my favorite is definitely GAMBIT!

besides being irresistibly HOT, he has some pretty cool powers. i saw online that the writers are currently in the process of creating the next x-men movie called "first class" or the first class at xavier's school. we'll get to see more of storm and cyclops and hopefully jean grey. but they also said they may do the next x-men origins on either deathpool or gambit. my vote is obvious. gambit would be awesome.

and deathpool. wow. the first scene with him going crazy with his swords is so awesome. i'd go see the movie again just for that scene. loved it. ryan reynolds isn't your typical superhero (then again neither was robert downey jr.) but he did a pretty good job as deathpool in my opinion. definitely buffed out right along there with hugh jackman. and later on when deathpool has his transformation, it took me a minute to realize it was him.

so i thought it was a sweet movie. will definitely buy this the day it comes out, and would even splurge to go see it again on the big screen. don't buy into all the mumbo-jumbo you read and hear about, it rocked in my book.
