Review #282: Wolverine leaked movie edit (2009)
When I saw the trailer for the new Wolverine movie I thought it might not be as bad as one would fear. And it wasn’t really. As like the other X-Men movies I enjoyed trying to figure out which character the actors were portraying. I hate to admit I had to look a few of them up in this movie. It’s hard to tell how good the effects were because it was an unfinished copy of the movie and a ton of digital effects hadn’t been applied yet. Ropes were showing, the background in car shots looked worse than a soap opera and some entire shots were made unfurnished digital models. It was fun to watch.
I feel that if they wanted to use Jackman as Wolverine again, they should have kept a tighter continuity. I think I might of missed some things, like how and when Logan loses his memory, but there are things, mostly who he knows, that don’t add up. Why doesn’t Sabertooth remember Wolvie? Prof X shows up at the end and rescues a bunch of young mutants, including Cyclops and Emma Frost. Where did Emma go later on? Maybe it’s asking too much to go back in time to fix the future for these kinds of things. I think I saw Banshee and Quicksilver in there too. The whole story seemed a little muddled but it was fun overall.
