10 reasons why ‘Wolverine: X-Men Origins’ is boring

(spoiler alert)

1. Many scenes feels forced and unnecessary. For instance, what’s the point of having a father not be your real father. What’s the real problem/dilemma in that?Also, the fight scene with that card guy is totally unnecessary. In fact that card-guy is totally unnecessary.

2. The action scenes are few and far between. There is neither adequate plot development nor is there an overdose of action… just a sort of inbetween phase.

3. It is too sanitized. Wolverine rarely gets dirty… looks well-trimmed and proper… even in all action scenes.

4. The love interest comes too late… and then concludes extremely abruptly.Also, the ‘wolverine’ name story is really cheesy and out of place.

5. The memory loss scene in the end leaves the audience hanging in the wrong way… nothing like a fitting climax or catch phrase or memorable event that would make us connect to the future movies or understand the past.

6. The x-men mutants are poorly developed… not enough time is spent on seeing mutants and their powers. Especially the children mutants are left too vague. Couldn’t even tell them apart.

7. The final battle is against a miniature version of Frankenstein. If it was intentional… it’s all the more pathetic. They messed up that mutant entirely.

8. The brother-brother scenes are not moving in conflict or resolve. We don’t feel the connection between the two… it’s more of a cliche.

9. The idea of ‘choice’ (for Wolverine) is not fully or even interestingly explored.

10. The best liners only generate a smirk or a chuckle. (“do something for your country” “No, I’m canadian” etc.).
