Re: Will you watch X-Men Origins: Wolverine....?
I watched it last night. It was pretty good, enjoyable, entertaining, and had a lot of laugh out loud moments, which I wasn't expecting. The thing, though, was that it wasn't particularly plot-driven or complex; it really did just seem like "OK, we have Wolverine in his own movie...let's fill in the background". We knew two things about him at the start of the first film -- that he had an adamantium skeleton, and had lost his memory. And these were really the two things that the film set out to answer.
But as I day, still an enjoyable film, and some great characters. I really like Ryan Reynolds anyway, and he was very good as Wade Wilson (awesome swordsmanship). Deadpool was also very cool and I think he'd be an interesting character in his own right, if he had been more like the comic book character rather than the slotted-together mutant that he was in the film. There should've been more Gambit, though. Definitely more Gambit. If they're intent on doing all these X-Men spinoff films (Magneto's up next) then I think Gambit deserves a lot more screen time.
