X-Men Orgins: Wolverine

The two thoughts that immediately filled my head after leaving the theater were 'serviceable' and 'forgettable.' The film's not horrible, its not good, its just what it is, and what it is is a fairly inoffensive not very memorable action film. There's nothing really original plot wise, and the story does nothing new with the character that we haven't seen in the previous films, plus the action scenes were fairly pedestrian, so I really just didn't see the point of the whole enterprise. The effects weren't even that impressive so there isn't really even a visual flair to recommend it. The film does occasionally have a nice sense of humor (particularly the 10 minutes Ryan Reynolds is on the screen), and I like carnage as much as the next guy but there was really nothing here to distinguish it from a hundred other generic action films. I won't even bother with a plot description, if you've seen the trailer or any of the prior films you already know what happens. If you do end up seeing it you won't hate it, you just won't remember much of it after you get out. Go see Crank 2 instead.
