This week, X-Men Origins: Wolverine!
The Good!
That’s not to say the action isn’t hair raisingly exciting and regular, but it feels like the fight scenes are simply a break from a story that is being crammed in, rather than something being naturally told.
-Luke Edwards, FHM UK
It’s not a bad film and is an improvement on X-Men: The Last Stand but it also feels like every other comic-book adaptation we’ve ever seen and that is a major drawback.
-Allan Hunter, Daily Express
An action-packed ride filled with nonstop thrills and spectacular visual effects that deserves to be experienced on the big screen with a large crowd.
-Avi Offer, NYCMovieGuru.com
The Bad
X-Men Origins: Wolverine, with its ungainly, geeky title and its relatively trim running time, helps explain just what makes this guy so intriguing and unusual.
-A.O. Scott, New York Times
We get something more akin to Jim Henson's Mutant Babies, with some Highlander touches thrown in for good measure.
-Alonso Duralde, MSNBC
Even by the standard of a fourth-in-a-series summer blockbuster, Wolverine is remarkably lame.
-Dana Stevens, Slate
What Pete Hammond Said:
Hugh Jackman's action-filled spinoff delivers on the brawn but not the soul of the "X-Men" franchise that spawned it.
