An average movie

I actually already saw this movie but since it was a while back and since I had this movie on DVD, I thought I might as well check it out again. Obviously, this movie definitely has a lousy reputation and it is usually considered as being easily the weakest movie in the X-Men franchise. Well, even though I have to agree that it wasn't really good, I don't think it was really so bad after all. First of all, Wolverine remains the most charismatic X-Men character and it made sense to make this first (and so far) only spin-off about this guy. I also enjoyed the fact that they went way back in time when he was just a kid and I wish they spent more time developing his past, especially since it went other 100s of years. Unfortunately, they skipped through his past way too quickly and, instead, we got a rather lame story taking place probably in the 80's, supposedly explaining what actually happened to Logan. Liev Schreiber, one of the most underrated actors at work nowadays, was also pretty good but his character didn't make much sense in my opinion. Indeed, Sabretooth was already in 'X-Men' but he never mentioned at the time that he knew Wolverine and, in this movie, we found out that they were actually brothers. By the way, it won't be the first time that they will completely mess up the continuity in this franchise, in fact , it will pretty much happen almost constantly from the moment that they will reboot the damned thing with 'X-Men: First Class'. Eventually, it's too bad the whole thing didn't really work out because it really had some potential. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its poor reputation, I still think it is worth a look though, especially if you are a fan of the genre.
