#52 X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

Whoops. Origins wasn't so much Wolverine's origins as it was a butchering of his origins by everyone involved in this film. Tons of inaccuracies with lots of flat acting, reused cliches from previous X-Men films, terrible jokes, and lame plot points. The best parts that made it totally watchable were the unfinished CGI and placeholder art. A true gem in that respect. It will still be interesting to see the finished product in theaters to catch the extra 14 minutes of reshoots involving Deadpool, played by Ryan Reynolds, which in this version is on screen for about 3 minutes.

Definitely no Iron Man or Hulk - X-Men needs to take some time off and come back to the table with some fresh ideas.

2/5
