What was so terrible(excluding comic inaccuracies)

It was absolutely abysmal, and I do not know the comics.
One of my few 1/10 ratings. I give this film a 1.4/10.

It so poorly directed that not one scene really stands out. It basically resorts to bad CGI and bad cinematography for its action. It completely undermines the trilogy it precedes.
The only element of the film that deserves ANY credit is Gregson-Williams's soundtrack. Otherwise this is a bland, pointless mess.

- Wolverine is basically the same character before his memory loss
- Wolverine loses his memory from memory bullets
- Wolverine has CGI claws now
- Wolverine's girlfriend fakes her death with fake blood and a drug. Wolverine does not notice despite super senses nor get her medical attention. (Canada does have hospitals and even paramedics)
- Stryker makes wolverine a weapon with the intention of erasing his memory, fails and then proceeds to try to kill him when he is out of control
- Wolverine randomly shacks up with the nice Kent family who just get shot to allow him to kill a bunch of people.
- The other random mutants have completely ridiculous powers based on CGI, swords, or guns
- the plot is weak
- the drama between Wolverine and Sabretooth is weak
- Stryker randomly kills a general but the repercussions are never explained or dealt with

It's not that bad...just looks a little cheaper and is occasionally a little cheesier than most other films in the series.

Definitely not as good as The Wolverine, though.

Aside from some of the CGI there was nothing terrible about it. It's fashionable to bash it so mindless people do it. They can't develop their own opinions, just say what they read in reviews.

The script, the direction, the fact that it couldn't stay accurate to itself, inaccuracies to other films, shoddy portrayal of (arguably) the best X-Man.

For his feature solo Wolverine should have been given the same treatment on the level of The Dark Knight series.

Instead this movie looks like it was directed by some kid that only watched the Saturday morning X-Men cartoons.

It had good elements to build from/around but were wasted to the extreme. The beat part of the movie IMO was how Wolverine and Saber tooth were shown moving from war to war through time.

Gambit, Dead Pool and The Blob were a laughable unnecessary waste.

Must they always randomly throw in cameo appearances of x-men characters with no relevance to the story (or portrayed incorrectly) other than to say "Hey! There's such-n-such" ?

Hollywood just about always #$%^'s it up.


"Only a numbskull thinks he knows things about things he knows nothing about."

Well, there's a terrible inaccuracy in Canadian history, for one thing.


The movie claims that Logan was born in "The Northwest Territories" in 1832.

First of all, the "Northwest Territories" did not exist in 1832. It was called Rupert's Land.

For another thing, Rupert's Land was the more or less private playground of the Hudson Bay Company, which was interested in fur trapping and trading.

The Hudson Bay company did not want white settlers moving into that prairie/boreal playpen, and so spread rumours that it was no good to live out there, nothing but a barren extension of the American Desert, for 200 years until its charter on Rupert's Land ran out in 1869, and the land was deeded to the brand-new Dominion of Canada.

The closest thing there were to white families/farmers were white Hudson Bay factor with Native or Metis wives, or the mixed-economy Metis themselves. The first white farming settlements on the prairies were in what is now Winnipeg and Selkirk, on land near the Red River chartered by Lord Selkirk for the purpose. It wasn't really a thing until just around the time Logan was born, MAYBE - and given the difficulty of getting materiel for building at the time, there wouldn't have been anything as fancy as the house shown. There were no rich men until the railroad came in the 1880s, and no further white settlement until at least the 1870s (and that very slowly).

Until the CPR was finished in 1885, travelers and materiel had to come from Ontario via the USA - and it wasn't an easy trip. The railroad caused a sudden, massive influx of white farmers, and both Natives and Metis were taken by surprise.

Also, his mom would most likely be a Native or Metis, making Logan himself .. a Metis.

Where to start, Bad CGI, bland action - witness Wolverine walking away from an exploding helicopter. Characters were shoehorned in to pad out the story and to top it off we don't even really find out anything about Wolverine we didn't know from X2. The whole Weapon X sequence basically covers the same material as in X2, and Logan isn't really any different of a person.

The whole movie comes off as an X-men franken-film, adding in useless fan favourites like Deadpool and sh&ting on them or adding Gambit and giving him nothing to do.


I wouldn't rate it any higher then a 4 and that's mostly for the dedication Hugh Jackman puts into the character.

It's just a poor movie all around, even on its own merits. The story feels like it was written by a bunch of high schoolers jacked up on sugar, the tone is all over the place and barely consistent, the VFX shots are so cheap looking it literally feels like somebody drew crayon on the film negatives, the action is hardly serviceable or enjoyable, and any attempts at fan service are laughable and mind-numbing at best. Just a terrible movie through and through, I've seen worse but this one swore me off of Fox produced X-Men movies till the buzz for First Class came as being very good so I gave that a chance and liked it enough but no more than that.
