Wolverine
May0
At first I was a little dissapointed that the film dwelled so little on Wolverine’s early war years but quickly realised that as far as the story is concerned it’s irevelevant the the title sequence does very well at getting across what it needs to.
I’m a sucker for Origins films, and wondered beforehand whether this would be the start of a glut of X-Men origins films and having seen it I hope not, they wouldn’t be able to compete with this one – and it also kind of shows a few of the other X-Men too.
Went to the Bury Vue Cinema to see it which is usually a good experience, we go for a meal beforehand and wander over for the next showing. However this time was a little concerning with Bag Checks and staff walking to the front of the cinema during the film to spy on us and most furiatingly walking from one side of the screen to the other!!
Trailer wise all of them seemed very strong, Harry Potter, one called 12 Rounds? Angels & Demons. Good stuff looking forward to them all.
