A Fun Beginning and Middle...Really Terrible End
The main problem with this movie is that (like X-men 3) it's nothing more then a large feast of cameos. Many of the characters in the movie serve little purpose in the movie, but are there simply because people wanted them there.
The Film opens wonderfully, with flashbacks of Wolverine's childhood and how he first found out about his mutant powers and that his mom was cheating on his supposed father. It's a great way to start the film and also shows us the relationship between Logan and Victor Creed. After that we are treated to another really good credit sequence that seemed to drag on just a bit to long. After the credits sequence William Stryker meets Logan and Victor before they move on to death row, and the guys quickly join Team X.
The member of Team X is great, especially Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool who was indeed the highlight of this entire movie. Every other members are people I honestly didn't care about, except maybe John Wraith (Will.I.Am). We get a maybe 10 mintues of Wolverines involvement with Team X....yet he quits because he never signed up for the murders they commit. This is kind of a dumb reason for quiting because I thought Wolverine was "the best there is at what he does, and what he does was kill"...
Flashforward a couple hundred years and we meet Silverfox who dies of screen so quick enough that you don't care about the relationship between her and Logan. Logan seeks revenge on Victor by joining Weapon X and pretty much after that the plot is thrown away and serves nothing more then a way to show us a bunch of action scenes.
After a while we meet Gambit who actually serves no purpose being in this movie. He pops on screen, he fights wolverine, thats it....It's a waste of a perfectly good character if you ask me.
Overall Wolverine is a BAD movie....but it isn't good..... The plot flys out the window very quickly, and many of the character serve no purpose then being there to treat the fans.
Not to mention the nurmous amounts of plot holes in this movie....for instance, why is it that they clearly show that Logan and Victor are brothers, yet none of them share the last name? Victor is Victor Creed and Wolverine is James Howlett....is it because his father was actually Victors dad so James Howlett is actually James Creed...so why does he go by Logan? It's all to confusing but if you look past the crap it has some really decent stuff.
PS. They screwed up Deadpool (one of my favorite comic book characters) too. I wouldn't even call that abomination Deadpool.
