Like most people, I got attracted by the trailer. However, the movie was not greater than I expected. It's less than I expected. "Fast & Furious 4" was better and they should have exchanged the release date. That would have been better opening for summer movies.
Wolverine is the coolest superhero character ever created and movie about his origin can achieve high potential of success. That's the reason this movie made huge profit at the box office, although it's not satisfying. Most people I know are not happy with this movie, it's very less amount people like this movie. Those that likes this movie are not X-Men or Wolverine fan at all.
I do not know the budget of this movie but I can say, the special effects are not helping, especially Wolverine's claws does not look real enough. I found it's better in previous X-Men movies. I have no idea what they have done with Wolverine in this movie.
The aspect that deserves respect from the audience is the acting skill. Hugh Jackman portrayed Wolverine better than previous X-Men movies. Other actors/actress performed well too. However, too bad, it's all ruined by the other aspect of the movie especially the script.
This movie should not have been made or at least should have been great movie. Somehow, it achieved success in box office and sequel already been planned. I hope they will improve by considering the reviews and critics. I know it's comic book based, yet look at Dark Knight, Spider Man or Iron Man. Those movies are marvelous.
Rating: 4/10
Logan: I'll find my own way.
Remy LeBeau: Good luck.

I had zero interest in seeing this movie at first, but I keep hearing so much buzz about it that I think I’m going to end up watching it. Unlike a lot of women out there I’m not really a Hugh Jackman fan.

Christina Bledsoe - Yes, there are lots of buzz about this movie. It all started since the day the movie was leaked. Not the complete version anyway.
