BOO THIS MAN!

actually, it's not wolverine's fault, but hugh jackman is definitely to blame since he produced this. this film is BAD, like terribly, awfully BAD. acting was OK for the most part, but was over-the-top in some instances, a lot of things in the story were illogical and out of place, script was terrible, action wasn't that thrilling, some scenes seemed unnecessary, highly predictable. i hate CGI with a sick passion and i blame all this slick slo-mo action on the matrix. it was done right then, but even the wachowski started to abuse that shit in the sequels.

it just seemed so hollow. and i don't get the point of prequels if evrybody already knows the story. i think the problem with a lot of comic book movies, mostly marvel's, is that the screenwriters write the screenplay leaving out a lot of the story with the assumption that the ppl who see the movie already know the things missing, but then they take the story and distort it inexplicably.

one of the major lowlight of the film is how ill-used a lot of the actors are. most of the people you would expect to be big deals aren't, for example, dominic monaghan and ryan reynolds. will. i. am had a longer role than both of them combined. anyway, at least i got to finally see deadpool and what he does, but this interpretation is a lot more interesting. and the guy doing gambit totally gave up on a cajun accent. he never really had one when he started, it was more generically southern, but all-around godawful. he didn't even look like remy, hair was too long and he looked greasy, not stubbly. and not even one "mon ami"! yeah, and wolverine didn't say "darlin'" once, either.

but, the major highlight, for me, was liev schreiber. for some reason, i've always had a thing for villains. i like heroes and anti-heroes, but villains seem sexy. liev is already sexy, so him as a villain is taking me higher.

MMM-mmm, yes, please! he would be the only reason i would suggest this, but see it on bootleg, download it, or go to the dollar show or rent it from the library. oh, but you know what, you should see it with black ppl, the commentary is too much fun to miss.
