X-Men Origins: Wolverine

I thought story-wise, it was average in that it was a little too comic booky in plot development and not a good cinamatic treatment of the vast source material.

Overall, it starts out okay with some decent humor bits, but the sparse character introductions deprives the film of any substantial character hooks and solely relies on comic book famliarity of the new characters to go from one plot point to the next without too much narrative propulsion.

The 3rd act has some cool scenes but its conclusion is lackluster.

Be sure to stay to the very end of the credits for an extra scene (there is also a short scene about 30 seconds once the credits start).

I give it 2.5 stars or a grade of C+.
