Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
DCfan Honestly, this isn't the best Wolverine movie I have watched it was just an okay one at best.However this movie did after all sort of explain how Wolverine was a weapon X-program and how his brother Sabertooth ended up going their own ways and one turning.Also what they hell did they do to Deadpool towards the end of the movie? He looked like a stuffed manakin.The rest of the movie was okay nethertheless.
djfrost-46786 Last Stand sucked. This movie kicked ass. X2 was awesome cause Striker was the bad guy. Guess what he is again. Hello Wade Wilson aka Deadpool. Yes he has a big mouth. This movie is GREAT!!!
musicshowtime I gave the movie a 7 just because i enjoyed a lot the first hour of the movie. I didn t know why it has that low rating, i would have given it an 8 or 9. The enthusiasm stopped when Gambit appeared and stopped Logan from killing his brother, just because he slapped him earlier and, besides, he jumped out of nowhere like he wasn t 2ft behind Wolverine. Ok, movie wasn t rined, still a few bad things, but when Kayla appeared from the dead i knew it all ended. Logan, talking to her, said he will follow his insticts, and right before he was about to kill Victor he didn t do it because Kayle said to not do it.Nice contradiction 5 minutes after Wolverine said what he will do. He said before that he wanted to klll Stryker then he left the building. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU , LOGAN? He also helped Kayla s sister to escape, like a broken heart and the mind blown from that woman wouldn t be enough to stop listening to her..Final scenes? Non-sense, why Logan was careful to not fall from the top of the reactor, but when it collapses, he ends up jumping with no hesitation?. Kayla dies probably from hemoragy, so she couldn t have been saved at all and Wolverine was trying in vain to save her? Horrible. It could ve been such a great movie but I'm disappointed. Friends told me that Wolverine movies are lame, exception Logan, but i didn t want to believe them, my mistake
shadowsect This movie is hated on. A lot. Whether it's a character they completely ruined in the end, or the constant jump cuts that are around every corner, it's not a pleasant movie. That all being said, does this movie deserve as harsh a rap as it gets? Mostly.Let's start with the positives. This movie has enjoyment in it. Some of the fight scenes are awesome to watch, especially the one in the end. The movie has some witty dialogue and some arrow-in-the-heart emotion near the beginning. The casting was done well. Hugh Jackman is obviously going to own the role of Wolverine, and Liev Schreiber just owned Victor. Lynn Collins didn't really show that much emotion, though, but she's the exception of the cast.Unfortunately, this movie made a lot of mistakes. For one, it's jump cuts the movie. There's so.... many.... jump cuts. The intro to the movie with the opening credits has more jump cuts than I could count. It's like the new Taken movies. It's distracting and hurt the fluidity of the fights. Secondly, the suspension of disbelief that you'll need to get through it. Some of these characters do a lot of stupid things, especially Stryker. Hint: If there's a mutant in your base of operations, maybe you should.... do something about it?!? And who knew making somebody invincible meant it was hard to take them down? People could go all day about how much they ruined Wade Wilson, but I don't really want to waste my time and say what has already been said many times.The story itself is ridiculously simple. The trailer of the movie sums up the whole story, one minor plot twist notwithstanding. It does leave a lot of brevity, as it makes this movie a great popcorn flick to sit back, turn off your mind, and relax. It's kind of muddled as this movie really wants you to take it seriously, but that can easily be ignored as the action scenes.... don't take it seriously. At the opposite spectrum, there are details that will ruin this movie for those looking at it as it fits in the X-Men series. There's a bunch of continuity mishaps in this movie, retcons included.As someone who likes action movies a lot if they can sell it well, this movie definitely checked some of my boxes. They do a good job of attaching you to Wolverine in the first half, even if they don't do as good a job with the other characters. But this is a movie about Wolverine, so Wolverine is the spotlight. Even if the end of the movie felt way more like an X-Men movie with its attempts at trying to work with the continuity and falling flat.Overall, should you give this a shot? Probably not. It's a forgettable movie that doesn't have enough enjoyment to warrant a watch. At the very least you could pirate it to see how it goes. "Hey that's illegal man". Don't care, don't give them money for this movie. Enjoy it for free and laugh at the studio.Rating: C-
