I really don't understand the critics. This is not a movie for great thinkers and philosophers of our time. This is not a movie to explain to the world about the true origin of Wolverine. His character is supposed to be an enigma. You get to find out a bit more about him in this movie. Yes, much of the story line was basically 'recycled' from the various comic books previously published. But that, to me, didnot diminish the movie. Everyone should know by now. X Men movies are comic books in action/movie form. And to that end, X Men Origins was thoroughly entertaining to me. The movie was a good way to burn a couple of hours and relax.
What's great about it: Action and more action
What's not so great: Not suitable to people who are looking for more than just a good action movie
