Middling Comic Book Movie
PostedMay 2, 2009

from Los Angeles, CA
Like the last X-Men movie, Wolverine didn't live up to the standards of the first two. While the first half was promising, with a balance between action and substance, the last devolved into more exaggerated acting, CGI, and overdone action sequences. The tragedy of Wolverine's past-which should be central to the film-was lost amid the "action-packed" climax. I don't understand why viewers aren't desensitized to CGI and destruction. If not on the scale of Transformers, they cannot carry a movie. Even those most praised for their use of technology and violence, such as The Matrix and LOTR, did not rely solely on them. I understand wanting to make an accessible film, but elegant effects and an elegant storyline are not mutually exclusive.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
