This week I caught up on a couple of films…
X-Men Origins: Wolverine – I’ve seen all I want to see of Hugh Jackman. When I saw the first X-Men film he was by far the coolest character. Now he just bores me. Even so, this was a pretty cool film. Mostly because of the other characters. Gambit is totally awesome and the Wade Wilson (Ryan Renolds) character could have been great if we had seen more of it. Of course, this was always a Hugh Jackman vehicle, so we were never going to see enough of the other characters. I hope this film makes a lot of money so they do some more using the other characters.
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans – This is a prequel to the other films, telling the story of Lucian and Sonya. If you’ve seen the first film, you already know roughly what happens because of the flashbacks, but this film fleshes out the story. I like the genre and I liked the other films, so this one went down OK with me.
Cheers
