Hey Bub

I got a chance to see the new Wolverine flick today. Before getting to that, allow me to say that the next beverage I spend five bucks on better have some booze in it. My anger shot up to near Hulk-like levels, but there would have been no way to explain to the police or my wife what I was doing on the other side of the counter cramming a 55 gallon drum sized bucket of popcorn up some nametag wearing tween's ass. Anywhoo...

The effects were well done, and the ancillary characters were fairly well executed. Sabertooth in particular was much more three dimensional than the grunting feral Luca Brasi that they made him in the first X Men movie. It was also good to see the effects of hitting someone with metal laced bones, which has been previously absent.

Here's my beef. I don't think it was necessary at all to so dramatically change the scene at the Weapon X lab. The critics and the masses may want a kinder, gentler, Wolverine. But most of the box office receipts, and the lion's share of DVD sales will come from fanboys. I think they would have made a lot more money if Logan was a lot more feral, and much less of a stoic warrior.

Good DVD movie, but it's not a $30 including snacks for 2 movie.
