Wolverine

Face it, bub, this isn't as bad as most people think it is. But I'd hate to rate it any higher than 5 out of 10 stars. Definitely not as dire as Ghost Rider or Daredevil but not up to X-Men's status.

The story is just too ho-hum, never really capitalising on the main character's diverse comics roots. For the record, I find the character of Gambit to be more interesting then the lead. The few takes on his supposed animalistic traits is never fully expanded, besides the usual rage. Heck, even the characterisation in Ang Lee's The Hulk of the green goliath is better than this.

It never really rises above just an average action flick, and some of the exploits are just a tad unbelievable - especially the slicing of the rotors of the helicopter.

And finally, the introduction of the anti-hero Deadpool is just crummy. I used to be a huge fan of Deadpool. Here, they created a character much like Bane in Batman And Robin, sterling comic creations never rising to the occasion. Next!
