X-Men Origins: Wolverine

You know how a bunch of commercials said "Come to War of the Worlds the only place to see the new trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine" well they lied.



Are X-men movies the best forms of cinema, no.
Will they ever win Oscars (for anything but special effects or makeup), no
Are they entertaining as heck, yes.

Sometimes you just need something that you don't have to think too hard about, and this looks like a very fun movie. Some of the stunts look way over the top, but that's not necessarily a bad thing in superhero movies.

I have to say the casting choice of Ryan Reynolds for Deadpool is brilliant. He can determinately carry off a role as an action hero, and he brings the right amount of sarcasm and charm necessary to pull of a character who is can break the fourth wall.

Another note on casting. Josh Holloway was offered the role of Gambit but he refused, saying that it was too close to his character Sawyer. I can't argue with his logic on that one, but I really wish he was playing gambit. I mean the man was kind of born to play that role.

Josh Hollowy would've been the perfect Gambit.

But I think this Canadian Taylor Kitsch will do just fine
