I went into this movie with an open mind just looking for some good summer blockbuster fun. J.J. Abrams and the rest of the cast and crew who brought this film to life delivered that and more!
This movie had it all! Intriguing story, GREAT characters, beautiful cgi that never once looked cheap, fantastic pacing, and smart twists that never made you feel lost. It was kind of a complicated story with the twists and there were a lot of alien names that sounded familiar from the Star Trek universe BUT they were able to explain everything perfectly.
You don't need to be a Star Trek fan to fully enjoy this movie. It's a sci-fi movie for everyone. Try to give it a chance and you'll see. And try to see it in IMAX too ;D
It felt like they rushed the beginning way too much. Wolverine's involvement with Team X and their missions around the globe should've been packed with stories. The second act was the best because it was all revenge. Then when they got to island in the third act.....it crashed and burned. It was a terrible conclusion to the whole movie. The movie just ended on a bad note. Poor use of the great material. I really wanted to like this movie. I love comics. I appreciate the hard work they put into this movie and there were parts I found brilliant but not enough to really like it. It was a disappointment and that makes me very sad as a fan of the comics. But nice try guys. I know it wasn't all of their faults. :(
This was the second time I saw the movie and it was just as good or maybe even more enjoyable the second time around. This is truly a hidden gem at the movies right now. More people need to get out there and see this wonderful movie. It has all the right themes that we all live by in our lives. Happiness, tragedy, adventure, luck, etc. A great portrayal of the slums of Mumbai, India. Beautiful movie. See this ASAP!
