WOLVERINE

what a major disappointment. but expected. of the comic book movies released over the past 10 years this might be the worst yet. how do you screw up one of the most intriguing characters around? well i guess you make this schlock.

the problems:

1) PG-13 i understand you need a commercially viable movie. but look how they made DARK KNIGHT. the movie is too glossy. where was the blood? severed limbs? the one time i did see blood they flash back and IT wasn't even real.
2) script. all ya need to do is adapt his origin to the big screen. but they went and hollywoodized it instead. really i mean how difficult would this have been. they started off fine. SHOW how he got his training.
3) nationality. he's American?? since when? c'mon.
4) special effects. might be some of the worst looking i have seen in a major summer release type movie in years.
5) level boss ending. for christ sake!! ridiculous.

i might not know all about WOLVERINE but i do know that after waiting 23 years for a movie about him. this was awful.
