This is a monumental disappointment after the simply brilliant "Iron Man".

I watched the film last night and I wonder how people allow this type of film. Where to begin, the plot was horrendous, juggled about with too many characters twists to make the film blend together.

Firstly the child acting and the where the story begins.... Pointless. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO in the style of Hayden Chistians Darth Vader LMAO, This is where i questioned the nature of this film.

Thee casting was shoddy, However, Victor was good and Hugh well he is Wolverine. BUT!!!! Will.I.am????? Why is he in this film? I might as well have asked Lil Kim and flava flav to be in it as well. Not all of the actors were bad there were jsut pointless characters, Gambit, The Blob, Will.I.Am. They didn’t need to be in it. Tehy should have focussed on Wolverine and Sabretooth and made it about the anger they have for each other and mainly why Wolverine is so p****d. I do not feel that they pulled this off. Maybe to make it child friendly i do not know.

There are many things wrong with this film. The incompetence on behalf of the director to allow the people who sat around the table and thought 'let’s put BIG MOMMAS HOUSE style effects in a boxing ring and have some fun with it'..... that will be SWEET!!! No....No it wont. This was nearly as bad as Tobey Maguire’s Emo poet dancing in Spiderman 3. Gambit running up the wall with his Staff, Juggling Cards, Using his Staff as a helicopter plus sound effects??? My god!! And how many times can they swing the characters on a crane and spin them around. You might as well have shown the straps. The cliche shots, walking away from explosions and walking into the sunset what’s that all about. Someone should be paid to sit and think things through and slap people who have c**p ideas. Think Batman and Robin. Picture it now..... Lets put batman on Ice skates. WTF!!! How are they not being told NO. I am grinding my teeth now in anger.

They need to take a leaf out of Christopher Nolan and Zak Snyders book and think about making the movie awesome and about the characters themselves.

I just cannot understand what was going on. For fans of wolverine to go see this movie and have a letdown angers me. It should have made you want to go see the next one like Transfomers and Batman begins , They make you want to see the next part this makes you think i have just flushed 5 of my English pounds into the toilet. Wolverine 2 (THINK THINGS THROUGH)

Well although its a bit of a shame to say that the movie is far from perfect, its def a step up from the last stand (ok not saying much), but this movie is a lot of fun even if some of the special fx are at times a little cheap looking(in front of mirror scene looking at his claws etc...)but its full of action, some great fight sequences and cool character introductions (Gambit, Deadpool) even if one of the best scenes is thanks to deadpool after he exits the lift......, for some reason you find yourself wanting just as much of deadpool as you do wolverine!You clearly cant take away any credit from mr Jackman as he has worked hard to hone and perfect an already ripped physique to conquer the physical perfection of a realistic wolverine not to mention the fact that he happens to be an excellent actor also. Its unfair to call the film forgetable as there are many great parts to it but for now lets get back to the full potential of the xmen and lookforward to future origins.

I was dubious about this at first, but after seeing the trailer and finding out that my favourite X-Men will finally feature in a film, (Gambit) I can't wait.
The trailer looks amazing and as long as it's better than the X-Men films then that'll be fine.

This probably won't do maybe as well as some studios think, as loads of people have seen it on the internet. i still think it will be in the top 10 box office grosses of 2009, but I'm not sure if it will top X Men 3

Hi,

I just wrote an article showing how Wolverines story is basically that of a shaman. Does anybody else agree?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The trailer looks good but I have some worries - how much will be linked to Weapon X - if you think about it Xmen (set in the future of this film) he couldnt remember anything - if after the change (dont want to spoil it if people dont know how this happens) he knows of the project it would ruin Xmen & Xmen 2
