X-Men Origins: Wolverine

I've been asked about my opinion of the Wolverine by several of my friends, so here goes.

1. It was good. I just want to get that out there. No matter what I say in the rest of this post, I started with "It was good." Very eloquent if I do say so myself!

2. As far as my knowledge of Wolverine's history & "origin" go, the movie stayed pretty true to what has been written in comics. Except, is Sabretooth Wolverine's brother in comics? I know that they've teased a lot of different things, but I don't read Wolverine's solo book. That may have been revealed somewhere over the years and I missed it. I don't know.

3. Wolverine was happy with Silverfox for waaaaaaaaaay too long. Maybe it was the fact that I knew she was going to "die" that made that part of the movie drag for me.

4. Special effects...eh. They were ok. I just didn't have a moment watching this movie that I went "That was cool!" Wanted had better effects.

5. Deadpool. I just...did he?...I don't...ugh. Deadpool's mouth was stitched shut. The MERC WITH A MOUTH's mouth was stitched shut and he had OPTIC BLASTS!!! 'nuff said.

Please don't forget that I said the movie was good. I actually wouldn't mind seeing it again, just to see some things I missed.
My friends seem surprised that I'm not more pumped about the movie. I guess it has something to do with the fact that Wolverine is not one of my favorite super-heroes. He's ok.
