The movie wasn't that bad...Actually thought it was pretty good
1 May 2009
The movie did feel rushed but there were many things I liked.

The credits sequence at the beginning. It was very quickly rounding up to meeting William Stryker which I thought was well done.

I think the escaping from the actual facility should have been longer but the action sequences that followed immediately after it made up for it.

It was darker than previous x-men films.

I did like the brothers storyline between Wolverine and Sabretooth. It did seem kind of like how brothers would act. Only I can kick your ass but when you need help I am there for you but don't expect me to stick around after. They still don't get along but it was well done.

I thought Gambit was great. So his eyes turn red when he is doing his powers instead of all the time. Oh well. That wasn't so bad. I didn't like his accent changing back and forth to where partly Cajun to nothing. But the way Taylor Kitsh portrayed him otherwise was spot on. I don't know where people were saying they gave him telekinesis and running on walls. He ran up the walls and kicked off them. So what? A Gambit solo movie with this actor portraying him would be awesome.

My major gripe is the ending about how Wolverine loses his memory. If you have a 300+ person in midair coming at you, a shot from a gun isn't going to make him go head over heels. If anything Wolverine would have landed on him. It would have probably been better to go with the original idea for him losing him memory.

Sabretooth...done great as well. I honestly would like to see his origin story too.

Overall the movie was good. It was rushed. But good.
