X-Men Origins: Wolverine - 07.05.2009

Kopioin facebookista leffa-arvosteluni.

Kirjoitin sinne tänään myös Star Trekistä, voin kopioida senkin myöhemmin. Facebook-kieleni on englanti, joten kielikylpyä lukijoille. :)


Here's the thing:

Even if one were normally attracted to non-macho metrosexual types, so metrosexual that a lot of other girls go "What, someone finds THAT attractive? What about this latin lover right next to it?", but you just go "Nah, I prefer this" (completely hypothetically speaking, cough)... Even if one were generally that way inclined, Wolverine is just SO macho that he appeals directly to the cavewoman deep within the subconscious of every (heterosexual?) female, bypassing normal evaluation processes so that you mostly just go weak at the knees, "You carry me somewhere? Now?", and also start to type in run-on sentences.

I fail to understand how anyone's favourite comic book character can NOT be Wolverine. He has it all. I have now decided that Hugh Jackman should only ever play this guy until the day he retires. (And occassionally sing and dance. I actually think he could make a Wolverine musical work, but I'm probably in the minority on that one.)


I could rave about Jackman all day, but the rest of the film was just OK. Entertaining, cool action, no huge flaws, would have been massively improved by cutting the number of minor characters by 50 to 70%. (And what the hell were the ugly CGI claws?! Those were SO obviously put in afterwards, beyond embarassing.)

Rating: 3,5/5.
