Wolverine:Origins
So… I’m really speechless. And not in a good way. Don’t get me wrong Hugh Jackman is still the best Wolverine and probably one of the best casting decisions along with the leads for Iron man and Incredible Hulk, but I think the franchise has lost it’s heart. The story had right elements and touchstones, but that is all it seemed to be a bunch of touchstones and cameo mutants with nothing ever surprising you. I know it’s a prequel and yes I do own the comics of our fave canuck badass. But it could have been a little surprising and still on course like other movies. Star Trek comes to mind as well as Incredible Hulk. Be Honest. You know the stories back to front but it was done both new and yet keeping direct links to the ideas or soul of the stories.
I don’t mind reinvention but for fuck’s sake whoever thought to give Deadpool katana arm blades should be beaten, dragged by horses, beaten some more, made to watch Mariah Carey Videos till his eyes bleed, castrated, and left for dead in the desert. Then go back and pour salt on him for having the stupidity to give Deadpool eye beams. Then scour the globe for his offspring so we can tell where the next possible outbreaks of stupid may be.
The one shiny good nugget in this disappointing string of action scenes and cameos muddled together film is Liev Schreiber. Man what a great casting for him. Much like when I heard that Heath Ledger was going to be Joker, I thought this too was a possible mistake. But man once again it feels good to be wrong. He is a fantastic Sabretooth. Take the guy who cast him and so the exact opposite of the guy who gave Deadpool arm katanas. And if it’s the same guy go back to the desert and give him a flower. And more beatings for making me think of the Deadpool mess.
Oh one last thought did the guy who thought of puting Emma Frost in the movie even fucking read the bio on her. A protective skin coating of shiny diamond like scales?!?! And the sister of Silverfox…… This smacks of the guy who thought the best way to represent a mass of angry mutants attacking a gaurded facility for X3 was to have them run at the gates in NY mob style. Give him the same treatment as the Deadpool fucker and then add lemonjuice to his wounds. And if it’s the same guy, take away his flower.
