When Wolverine was still a bad-ass?
What with the upcoming release of X-Men Origins: Wolverine a lot of people who have received copies of the leaked movie earlier this month have been spewing mixed reviews of the film.
First off, why is Gambit in the movie? Isn't he supposed to be dating Rogue 20 or 30 something years later in the chronology? I understand that at some point an alternate universe Gambit spent some time in the Weapon X program, but overall this was just a big miss. We don't need to squeeze him in somewhere just because we left him out of X-Men 3: Finish This Already.
Next. Cyclops? Really? Another miss. This guy's not supposed to be a high school student by the time Logan gets his Adamantium skeleton. Just because you killed him off in X3 doesn't make his appearance okay.
Other than these few glaring flaws, the movie looks like it might be entertaining for the casual fan. If you're a stickler for continuity, I don't recommend this one. If the producers start taking it easy with sentimentality and start ramping up what made the comic books so popular we might be able to salvage an amazing franchise in the future.
