Wolverine: Origins

Not quite sure how I feel about this movie, at all, really. I'm trying to not nerd-out on it and hate it because of some of the liberties they took with the story (which wasn't really fantastic by itself). It was certainly badass, and I'm thinking that's how I'm going to remember it. Not as a great movie, but an entertaining one. Hugh Jackman is pretty much the only person I can envision playing Wolverine, though I think it would be amusing it they actually portrayed him being as short as he is in the comics. Liev Schreiber did a fine job playing his part, but I didn't really feel like I was watching Sabretooth.

My only actual complaint with the movie is why the hell were they fighting in the civil war. Last I checked Canada wasn't part of the Union. Oh, and what the hell did the do with Deadpool. I honestly don't care about pretty much everything they did to him *except* the optic blasts. He can teleport (with a little technological help), healing factor is there....but optic blasts? Also was there really a need for the katanas to be *in* his arms.

Also the teaser after the credits pissed me off, because they are setting up a Deadpool movie. Don't get me wrong, I'll see it, and for the first 20 minutes of the film I enjoyed what Ryan Reynolds was doing with the character, but I know I'll leave the theater after it full of nerd rage.

I'm just glad I'm not a gigantic Star Trek fan, I enjoy the original run of the series, but I don't worship it enough to leave the theater pissed next weekend.
