Garbage they know you'll pay to see anyway

Gave up hope of the true story emerging intact during the open-credits montage of Wolvie and Sabertooth, BIOLOGICAL BROTHERS, fighting side by side in every U.S. war. Story discrepancies aside, this movie SHOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD--I've seen hero films done well! (Iron Man & X2) Bad dialogue, contrived cameos, disastrous movie adaptation DESPITE the mutilation of the original story. And a pop singer cameo? Really? What's next, Fergie in Iron Man II? And GOD the MIND-NUMBING unoriginality! Hero ignites gasoline trail, turns, walks away in slow-mo as vehicle explodes behind him. Hero clutches dying girlfriend, screams NOO! into sky, camera pans out. Hero points weapon at villain, but doesnt take kill shot because he's a softy inside. PLEASE!
No, I do not recommend this movie.

A New Standard for Comicbook Hero Cinema

Robert Downy Jr. uttered the last line of the movie, the credits rolled, and I jumped out of my seat, pointed at the screen, and exclaimed, "THAT'S how you do that!"
This is a good movie. It proves that a comic book superhero movie doesn't have to be ridiculous or only enjoyable to comic fans. It's witty, deep, a little dark, very action-packed...I haven't been this excited about a movie in a long time.
Product placement was tasteful and discreet, the characters were believable, the story was believable and tied into current events (i.e. the real war in Afghanistan), and there was plenty of comedy and poking fun at itself in a way I did not expect.
You HAVE to see this movie!
