I can give some credit where credit is due, and Hugh Jackman is doing the best he can with the material he is being given. That is not my issue with this movie. My issue is with the people who end up writing these scripts. The first Wolverine movie was SO AWFUL that it might be my most hated comic book movie of all time. Yes, seriously. I know there are shit tons of comic book movies WAY worse (Roger Corman’s Fantastic Four to name just one), but for what that movie did to Deadpool and Wolverine, I will never forgive it. So when I heard there was a second movie that was conscientious of the mistakes of the first and was doing all it could to avoid repeating them, I got excited.
Well, I popped my claw a little too early, because this movie was (almost) just as bad as the first.
I understand that they want to make Wolverine a mass market character, so they water him down into PG-13 movies. But why do those PG-13 movies still have to suck? I could tell you a handful of storylines from the comic that would work, but what do they do, every time? Just mishmash different story lines and hope the masses funnel in.
Sorry, but until you have a drunk Wolverine, literally disemboweling guys and being almost killed, over and over, you are missing the whole point of this character.
