Movie Trailer: X-Men Origins: Wolverine
This will be a very, very silly movie. We do love our big, stinkin' superhero movies though. As far as big, stinkin' superhero movies go, this one looks like it has potential. Hugh Jackman has always been at his best in this role and having Gavin Hood at the helm is an great choice. Forgiving his misstep with Rendition, Hood has a great eye and knows how to unravel a plot. The only thing about this production that gives me pause is the casting of Liev Schreiber. He's never been impressive, at least to me, and he certainly doesn't seem a well considered choice here. Hopefully, I am wrong on him. It ultimately doesn't matter if he's a good choice or not, as I said, this is a silly, goofball movie made to look all grown up because my generation never became adults. We've taken our childhood baubles and gave them adult overhauls so we didn't have to put them aside.
