Wolverine.
Disclaimer: I've read Origins.
Okay, so I understand that they give two seconds to the childhood of Logan and have the rest be all fully-grown Logan so that they can maximize the use of Jackman. And with those atrocious child actors, I can't blame them.
Even though I didn't really dig Origins, there was a niftiness to mistakenly thinking that Dawg was Wolverine, and the sickly pampered boy James was a nothing character.
And I get that they shifted his love story to knowable times, because who wants to watch a story play out in the 1800's. I mean, sheesh, booooring.
But (disclaimer #2: I haven't yet finished watching, which should indicate just how I am watching it) the one thing that I loved loved loved was the idea that the memory loss was tied into his healing powers. As the body heals from bodily injury, so the mind healed itself from psychological and emotional trauma. That he lost his memory because the pain was too much to live with, so his mind/body healed itself of that/those wound/s.
Lemme know if any of that should be whitefonted.
This movie is making me larf and larf and larf.
Okay, it's not official, but there's a scene an hour and twenty minutes in where there's a highly unnecessary bluescreen and the character in the background is suddenly pulled out of the scene. Literally is moved diagonally down so that the foreground character is alone, and then moved quickly back into the scene as the foreground character turns to leave. I have slim hope that the final cut does not have this hysteria in it.
I went into "Wolverine" wanting a popcorn flick, and got exactly what I wanted.
Does that make me shallow?
No, I think that's a good expectation. I consider that I got my $5 worth, you know?

DH's review of Star Trek is up.
Ignore the typos - copy editors are an endangered species these days.
Good review, as if I needed more reason to see the movie.

Sadly, we get no perks for that.

I am Victor. It was completely enjoyable fluff with bonus half-naked Jackman.
