X-Men Origins: Wolverine = Fail

I do not dig the new Wolverine movie.  The actual origin of Wolverine was butchered in such a way that it made my poor Comic Book Guy heart cry.  “Worst Wolverine movie EVER”.   They made Sabretooth his brother.  They also tried to make the Weapon X team and had the “brothers” join it voluntarily but Wolverine quit in the first mission cause tx-men-origins-wolverine1hey were killing folks.  Then later in the movie they bring out the other members of the team but they never establish why Wolvie and his ex-teammates are such buddies when they spent about 5 minutes together.  Ugh.  All in all, the character development over all is very very thin.  I wish Marvel would have made this movie instead of Fox.  I also wish that they would stop using the Ultimate Universe for their character developments. Deadpool was the thing I was most looking forward to in this movie.  He was quite funny.  But not nearly long enough.  They gave him swords that come out of his wrists, laser beams from his eyes, and he can teleport.  And took the mouth off of the “Merc with a Mouth”.  Nice work.  Nice frickin work…
