20th Century Fox has continued its tradition of ruining great franchises with crappy spin offs here. Just as they allowed both Aliens and Predator to turn into shit b-movies, the new Wolverine movie gives us a script that called for not one, not two but three shots of Hugh Jackman looking toward the sky and yelling Nooooooooo!
Also Wolverine and Sabertooth are made to be brothers, which actually adds nothing to the plot of the film. There is also a subplot about about members of Wolverine's old team being killed one by one while the main character chops wood peacefully in the mountains (just like 20th Century Fox's Commando) that is abandoned as if it was only inserted to make the film longer. Adding to the cliches, there is an old rural couple who adopts Wolverine and gives him down home wisdom...like Superman.
Finally Deadpool is given an array of powers not seen in the comic book and cyclops comes off looking like a bitch who repeats "trust me I know the way".
The Verdict: This script of this movie was laughably bad. Its unbelievable a team of people read it and approved it. But at least Hugh Jackman was good.
