Zen Champion 5 years 7 months ago Posts: 53	The critics are very hard on this film making it seem like the worst movie ever made but it's really not that bad, especially if you're an X-Men fan or a Wolverine fan. There are some aspects of the movie that are a little odd, but I can't go into that without using spoilers. Overall, the movie is full of action and even suspense. I liked it much more than X-Men III: The Last Stand even though some critics say that it's worse. Hugh Jackman is the glue that holds the movie together, and watching the movie you understand that he is the perfect actor for Wolverine, even though the animal side of Wolvie is toned down greatly. Liev Schrieber also is a really good Sabretooth, showing off his animalistic brutal nature of the character perfectly. I won't say the movie is perfect, but it certainly isn't awful.

	Oh yeah?

So all that crying and bitching from Jackman was for nothing.

Speaking of special fx, I just recently watched the un-edited version with visible green/blue screens, wire-harnesses, cgi-characters still in polygon format etc!

I think it makes the movie better. You get to see the movie making process.

Doctor Serious 4 years 11 months ago Posts: 97	My only beef with this film is the fact that Deadpool is totally F.U.B.A.R. in it. Ryan Reynolds was a good choice, however. I'm glad to hear he actually fought for the role.
