X-Men Origins: Wolverine
My friend Vee wanted to go see the Wolverine movie, and my little brother did as well, so I decided to humour them both and ended up going on Friday night. It was just the three of us because Riyanna wasn't interested, and Roman and Kalen (the ditchers!) had already caught it on opening night.
My thoughts:
To be honest, I don't think I've ever seen any of the other X-Men movies (mainly because I didn't get into action movies until Kalen theoretically force-fed them to me), but I really enjoyed this one.
The movie had the perfect balance of gloom, doom, and humour (both haha-funny and sarcastic-funny). My favourite scenes were the ones with the diamond traffic operation headquarters, and especially the elevator part of it (Mr. & Mrs. Smith anyone?).
It was kind of painful to see the romance scenes because it was obvious to me what was going to happen. However, the chemistry was good and didn't look forced.
The graphics were pretty good, and I was impressed with the filming of a whole bunch of scenes.
(Oh, and I will trade Kalen in for Wade if I get a chance. Sorry Kalen.)
I guess since this was a prequel (i.e. Wolverine's past), I can always just watch the other movies without being mind-boggled.
(Right?)
Vee's thoughts:
We walked out of the theatre and the first thing Vee said to me was "Don't you think there was something missing?"
I asked her what was missing and she said she didn't know, but the ending seemed incomplete. She said she loved the movie (and then proceded to drool over Hugh Jackman), and that she was going to rewatch the other movies to see why she wasn't satisfied.
...maybe she wanted more Hugh Jackman sans shirt scenes?
Ryan's thoughts:
My little brother was busy complaining about the lack of popcorn, so it took awhile to get down to his actual thoughts on the movie once we got out of the theatre. (The popcorn machine at one booth broke down and the lines for the others were too long for us to bother.)
Ryan ended up telling me that the movie was "okay" and then continued on to add "Can we see Star Trek?" (It was opening night, and people were walking around in costumes...)
Meanwhile, Vee was yapping into my other ear about seeing Angels & Demons when it comes out.
Maybe I should invest in the theatre-business, since it seems like I'm going to be spending a lot of time in them...
