Let's All Go To The Lobby, To Get Ourselves A Treat

[redbrunja]

Here's the thing about Wolverine: Origins. It's a terrible movie. But (the first half especially) it's an entertainingly terrible movie. The Wolverine is just... not good. It's a cliched mess

(OF COURSE Logan would have a romance with a woman we'll never see again. OF COURSE it's with the demure, suicidal female character instead of the lady swordfighter with more interesting family issues)with a ton of continuity errors from 'where did she get those jeans and that cardigan?' to 'so once again, I see the writers didn't watch the other X-men movies'. Also, there was not enough Wolverine fanservice.

Also, there was a sexy villainess who I greatly enjoyed watching slink around being sexy and evil and she has a line where she goes,"I'm immune to the poison that is men" or something like that and I went, "does that mean that you're going to be defeated by sword-lady making out with you?"Sadly, the answer is no.

Hands down, the best moment was when (and this is totally spoiler free) a character stabs a six hundred year old map. A woman two seat down saw that one coming and gasped preemptively. When a friend asked her why she'd gasped, she'd said in this voice of quiet outrage, "That was a 600 year old map."

Also, after watching the Thor 2 trailer, my friend turns to me and goes, "Do you think Jane is going to die?"

qualapec, I thought of you.
