X-Men Origins: Wolverine
We had fun at the drive-in Friday night seeing X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I don't have to write a review, though. This guy did it for me!

Hmm... first time in a long time I haven't been standing in line to see a comic-book movie. Wolverine just doesn't do much for me, I'm afraid.
Glad you seemed to like it, though.

Apparently you didn't go to the review I linked to, KC. We had a good time, but the movie...not so good.
And yet, just announced today, they're now moving forward not only with a sequel but a Deadpool spin-off as well. Hurm.
Oi.
Just read the review.
That's nine and half bucksyou saved me right there, Jim. :)
Ok, I've just got to say that while I haven't seen this, I don't need to. The last aberration of an x-movie was bad enough to know I didn't need to see more. Wolverine running around KILLING soldiers like it was nothing was just too much to accept, even for a moment. Though, to be perfectly honest, Wolverine has always been a questionable character anyway. Here's a killing machine perfectly suited for the job, but doesn't kill (originally). Never made much sense to me, other than being able to take a beating better than anyone else. Besides, Hugh Jackman is waaaay too tall to be believable as Wolverine anyway.
It's good to see that you still had a good time though. Time was, you would get really mad at the movie and miss the experience.
