Wolverine - 5/10
Too much cliched cheesiness that could have worked had the other Xmen movies not existed (especially X2, which I kept thinking about because of Stryker). There's a fine line in a movie where you can show too much vs. too little. Too little and it's hard to follow, too much and it feels "dumbed down." Things got a bit overkill here (quite a few SPOILERS!)Spoiler: Chopping away at the fire escape, slow motion when he's cutting the locks ala "Price is Right" audience member, the dog-tag maker stamping out WOLVERINE after he adopts the name, deadpool's head making a perfect downward spiral in the Nuclear cooling towers, the calmly walking away from a massive explosion hero move, always shooting Sabretooth at the same angle before he's about to do something menacing which made for lots of unintentional hilarity. Some parts of the movie were really good Spoiler: that opening montage was BRILLIANT, but it's hard to enjoy them when they're stuck between such strong cheese.
What would the geek equivalent to a rape shower be?
