This post is a little bit late considering this movie has been out for a while, but nothing says summer blockbuster more than Wolverine. I saw this movie twice in theaters and I was overall pretty impressed. The film stayed fairly faithful to the comics with some slight adaptations. Hugh Jackman of course lit up the screen as Wolverine, as to be expected, but I was most impressed with Liev Schrieber's portrayal of Victor Creed/Sabertooth. He completely embodied the character with body and voice. There were a number of classical X-Men characters in the film such as Gambit, who I wish would have had a more dominant role in the film. The action in the film was intense and the special effects were great! This was the first big blockbuster of the summer season and I really enjoyed it. My only real complaint about the film is the role of Wade Wilson/Deadpool played by Ryan Reynolds.
Alert!!!! Spoilers be next!!! Do not read if you haven't seen the film!!!
Wade Wilson's character was ruined b/c they completely ruined his abilities. In the film Deadpool absorbed a number of other mutants' powers and he was controlled by William Stryker. This of course is completely inaccurate and they pretty much ruined the character of Deadpool in the end of the film! I won't detail it any further, but if you know Marvel and Deadpool, you will know that they raped the character in this film. Otherwise Ryan Reynolds was great as Wade Wilson and I would love to see him in his own spin off film, which is now being rumored.
Either way I recommend this film to anyone that is a fan of Wolverine and the X-Men, it does not disappoint in its better moments!
