REVIEW: X-Men Origins: Wolverine

It's an OK movie. Big spectacle, lots of violence and special effects, but not leaving you with that POW feeling.

One moviegoer said it best, "It was good, but I was disappointed."

Issues would be disloyalty to the storyline, piles of violence and a lack of entrances of legacy characters (you sort of had to figure them out).

One glaring (I think) issue is the inconsistency in special effects. It looked like budgeting was declared for certain scenes, and other scenes got no money at all. Some scenes looked outright unfinished, with mismatched color palletes, horribly amateurish green screens and a really cheezy waterfall scene with a naked Hugh Jackman falling which really just appeared on screen as unpro.

Upon reading the credits you can see no less than 12 different special effects companies worked on this film. TWELVE? Talk about cost cutting. The film really did feel like a patchwork of scenes stitched together with varying quality and cutaway and intercut scenes seemingly thrown in at the last second.

Not a good start for a blockbuster.

Save your money and wait for the video to show up at Walmart for $9.
