May Movie Wrap Up
May. 2nd, 2009 12:24 amThanks for coming out, one and all! The most fun I ever have is the hanging out with folk before and after, and truly that was excellent.
As for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, I can say that it pretty faithfully was exactly what I was expecting. So I enjoyed it, but it very rarely surprised or surpassed expectations. I think this is mainly because they ( very slight spoiler )
The movie was also defeated a bit by the anticipation for awesome things that have little to do with Wolverine. Like, say, Gambit. You know he's in the movie, and you're sorta just chugging along waiting for when they're going to get to him. What's happening isn't bad or boring or anything, but you're still waiting on something else. Even after the movie, I was waiting for ( MUCH bigger spoiler )I think of all the effects in the movie, Gambit's powers were my favorite. The very subtle way they showed how he charged up the cards--plus the fun way he threw them about? YESSSSS.
Also, all the ladies agreed with me that you can't write off Taylor Kitsch as Gambit forever until he's Gambit with his shirt off. Ahem.
So, on a scale from Van Helsing to Iron Man, as far as May Movies go, I'd put this as above a The Mummy Returns, about on par with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but not as good as X-Men 2.
