Everyone does remember a little thing called THE MAY MOVIE, correct? I'm pretty sure that, although I've been quiet, all of my friends know it's coming May 1st. They might also vaguely recall that this year's selection is X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
The Jackman has steered us wrong before on one of these sacred first weekends in May, I don't deny it. And this is a movie that has not only notoriously reshot stuff but had a less-than-perfect leaked print to work up antipathy of moviegoers everywhere. Nonetheless, I offer you the following counter-argument-proof reasons to see this movie:
1) Hugh Jackman made his bones on Wolverine. If anybody was going to do this film and make it work, he will. He is also very generous and grateful and appreciative of the fans, which is awesome. (I will not use "fills out a wife beater like a gilded god" as an argument. I am just putting that out there.)
2) Liev Schrieber is pretty much perfect in anything he's in. He's especially good at playing chilling psycho killers. Wouldn't you know it? That's exactly what Sabretooth is!
3) Gambit.
I believe I've made my point. Save Friday May 1st on your calendars NYC folk. We're going to the movies.
