X-Men Origins : Wolverine's Review - RyanReynoldsChallenge (23/49)
This movie is a masterpiece.
It shows how many things can be made wrong in a blockbuster. The scenario, the character, the casting, the special effects, the superpower of the heroes, everything looks so strange.
The best part of the movie is for sure the introduction with a summary of Wolverine's life through all the wars since 1845 until the Vitnam's one when his brother as immortal as him started to turn crazy and killed an officer who tried to stop him from raping a civilian. Because Wolvy just tried to defend him they are executed by the American army.
Because they are bulletproof they are recruited in a special forced unit and here starts the massacre.
I feel like in a bad movie like Twilight 1 or in a parody. It looks a little like the exaggerated Bollywood movies, but worse, way worse.
They are to unrealistic that made me a little uncomfortable. That's basically the same with almost every aspect of the movie. The special effects are often strange. Wolverine's claws are always on focus and so much sharp that feels weird but in the opposite side we can easily see most of the green screen because they are made pretty strangely and we can see the blurry and glowy borders of the object where the green have been removed.
I really think they have a really good casting but they used it like shit. Not a single character lives enough to know anything about his life. The hobbit from LOTR is kind but dies fast, Will I Am is forgettable, the magician is only here to let the villain escape because of a quiproquo and Ryan Reynolds ah like 3 lines at the beginning and they say "he's dead" before realizing he have been turned into the ugliest Deadpool ever.
Stéréotypes
Imagine few stereotypes of a super hero movie.
You did it ? No. Take your time... It's ok ? This movie has all these stereotypes. All.
His girlfriend dies ? He screams while watching up in the air.
He explodes something ? He walks in slow motion back to it.
During all the movie, I realized I was able to predict everything.
The movie is a stereotype from the start to the end. And there are only two characters that seem to be """real""" humans during it, Will I am and Kevin Durand who are something else than just "I'm a Bad guy so I have to be bad and kill people just because that's funny" or "I'm Hugh Jackman so I have to use my claws and big veins to kill the bad guy because they are bad and being bad is bad".
Each new character you see, you can guess in the 10 first seconds if he will die or not and almost every time, yes they do.
This movie has the embition of a Power Rangers season finale with the budget and the casting of a 5 star Hollywood Blockbuster.
that's sad because once this is said I can't add anything more, this is the only problem of it. It looks like it have been written by a beginner and nobody gave a fuck and decided to put other beginners to the special effects teams and artistic directing because this is ugly as fuck.
