X-Men Origins: Wolverine

X-men Origins is the latest attempt of Marvels to do a couple of things

1) Create a movie with one of the most badass characters of all time

2) While kicking of the summer movie season

3) All while trying to save money, for not particular reason.

The movie comes out of it's corner like a lion. The start is a little creepy with a slowly building theme of kickassry and badassitude supplied by Hugh Jackman and Leiv Schrieber killing everything. Which is perfect, that's what this movie is supposed to be and it does it well.

The writing is decent and the action is awesome. As with everyone else who has written one of these blasted reviews, Ryan Reynolds was an amazing Dead Pool and I am GIDDY that he will be getting his own movie. Though I truly hope they ignore some of the ideas that they set up for him in this movie, they really are a step too far in what his powers really are. Honestly, sucking up mutants powers? That's Rogue, we've already SEEN that power.

Now we come to the part that ruins the movie. Not to the point where I wanted to walk out, but the graphics nonetheless, were atrocious. They were rudimentary as if they spent all their money to film in New Zealand...which it looks like they did. They had no reason to film there, yet they did and I think it's the reason we got less than polished CGI through out most of the movie. Bad green screen effect, and some others that I don't even know what to call. If you have seen it I'll refer you to the fight scene with Gambit. The last thing I wish to rag on is the last scene with Professor X...He looked like a white Asian Alien that had cheap Botox. For serious guys, airbrushing only goes far.

Despite all this the movie was funny where it meant to be funny (Except for the last scene with Dead Pool) it was predictable, and the graphics were substandard. All of this is offset by the fact that Dreamy Hugh Jackman kicked ass...a lot of ass...a plethora of ass if you will. And if you stay after for the credit, you'll be a little disappointed, it was boring, it could have been better. Yet like the rest of the movie it was just predictable.

So this movie gets a
