X-Men Origins: Wolverine

You know those 3 other films that were made, and all those years of great comic books that focused on the X-Men? Well, this new film basically says that they never happened...at least how they were supposed to happen.

Problem #1: The first thing I had a problem with was the whole immortality thing. Now I know that Logan always had 'immortality', but his aging process is just not right. In the movie, he went from being a child to about 30 or so, and just stayed there. He doesn't even have true immortality...he just ages much slower than everyone else. But he just stayed in his 30s through 5 wars. He should gradually age through all those years.

Problem #2: The Bone Claws. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember him ever being able to do that! I thought he got the claw ability along with the adamantium.

Problem #3: Along with the Adamantium, in the comics, and all normal X-Men canon, Logan's memory is wiped immediately after the transfusion. But here, he escapes afterwards, and his memory isn't wiped until the end of the film, and it is then wiped by Stryker shooting Logan in the head with an adamantium bullet. Now, If he was an expert marksman (which I doubt), he MIGHT be able to hit the part of the brain that uses memory, but even then, his brain would regenerate the same way and he would regain his memories anyway, so that's just time wasted.

Problem #4: Logan and Victor's Relationship. Logan and Victor, to my knowledge, were never brothers! This dynamic messed me up for a while before I got used to it. Originally, Victor was supposed to be Logan's father, but supsequent writers fucked it all up.

However, I will say this: It was a good stand-on-its-own film. It was entertaining and full of action (which I like), but If you have read and/or seen the other movies, you get totally confused, as I did. And it was cool to see Deadpool at his most badass-looking...plus, Hugh Jackman and Leiv Schriber are nice to look at.

All in all, I am going to give this movie a Mehh+ for good action, but poor plot and canon.
