They didn't have enough Wolverine? He was the main character!
Perhaps I could've stated it better, as "they didn't have enough depth/ in depth for Wolverine", screentime, absolutely he got more than enough

So-so, if not a bit disappointing. Great fx, though. Saw a lot of cliché devices and that was surprising. Also some scenes taken from other movies (a huge scene taken right from superman);

plot holes that looked like they were made from hasty cutting room floor decisions in the interests of time.

That said, I still liked the movie and really liked the beginning title sequence effects ... that was unique.

I mean the part of the brothers fighting in all the wars leading up to the present...the photographic effects and flash scenes were outstanding.

Cowboy: Friend? Hell, I got lots of friends.
Doc Holliday: ... I don't.

I just plain liked it a lot! :D Good, clean fun! :lol: Really, though. It was a new take on Wolverine's origin, not the same as the comics. Lots and lots of changes from the comics. No biggie, it's not the comics.

I loved the filming. The scenery, especially his and Silver Fox's cabin. The action. The fights.

Yeah, Kil, I also thought the beginning title sequence was unique, and very well done!

The twists really did surprise me. I was expecting things to follow the comics more, and thought it was great when it didn't.
