Argh. I love X-Men, always did, but either I'm growing up or films are really shitty.
Hugh Jackman is a wonderful actor, a very attractive man and has delicious muscles. In a nutshell, a sight to behold. But cringe-worthy cliches? Bar fights? Hiding away in Canada?
I can't say that it was all the way terrible, since there were awesome moments but they usually had something to do with Wolverine's rebirth - spoilers: how he tore this microscopic robot from his chest and how he regenerates his original bone claws when his adamant ones are cut-off by crazy billionaire and ex-soldier who inhabited the robot suit.
But I knew from the beginning that he's gonna hook up with Mariko, and although I guessed the wrong moment (I thought she'll be the one healing him from bullets and bam! typical romance between a nurse and her patient) but it was still stupidly romantic in a get-away house in Nagasaki.
The dropped atomic bomb was incredibly scary but also incredible well done. I saw it in 3D and I just can't imagine anyone seeing it in real life and staying sane. Although now that I think of it - was the explosion really *that* big. Okay, I don't want to think about it. I thought about it. Wikipedia says that not that big. Alright, I can understand the need for striking visuals.
My last remark is: for the first few minutes after the introduction of Mariko I thought that her and Yukio were romantically involved. Maybe it's my twisted mind since they're like sisters but wouldn't it be awesome? That would leave Hugh Jackman without a romantic interest but I'm content to stare at his arms. But maybe that's just me.
