X-Men Origins: Wolverine

8.4/10 stinky bananas

X-Men Origins gets a bad rap. It's a great movie. They just had one big colossal fuck up that will taint the movie's discourse for the rest of time.

Everybody and their grandma knows that they fucked up Deadpool. Gavin Hood's (director) design of Deadpool is a sin. Sewing Deadpool's mouth shut is a crime against humanity. He is literally known as the merc with a mouth. His talkative nature is his most distinguishable character trait. So why the fuck would you sew his mouth shut? Plus, you give him all these other dumb superpowers for no fucking reason. Preposterous decision making by the powers that be.

Other than that, the movie is fantastic! The opening credits scene fucking rules. Excellent action throughout. Solid script. Good characters. Liev Schreiber is an awesome villain. I literally have no complaints other than the Deadpool shit. They fumbled the bag as the kids say.

It's still an incredibly entertaining movie. I would consider it a good installment in the X-Men franchise.
