DarkWolf (2003)
Whahahaha
This move was on TV last night. I guess as a time filler, because it sucked bad! The movie is just an excuse to show some tits and ass at the start and somewhere about half way. (Not bad tits and ass though). But the story is too ridiculous for words. The "wolf", if that is what you can call it, is hardly shown fully save his teeth. When it is fully in view, you can clearly see they had some interns working on the CGI, because the wolf runs like he's running in a treadmill, and the CGI fur looks like it's been waxed, all shiny :)
The movie is full of gore and blood, and you can easily spot who is going to get killed/slashed/eaten next. Even if you like these kind of splatter movies you will be disappointed, they didn't do a good job at it.
Don't even get me started on the actors... Very corny lines and the girls scream at everything about every 5 seconds. But then again, if someone asked me to do bad acting just to give me a few bucks, then hey, where do I sign up?
Overall boring and laughable horror.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
Not what I had hoped for...
I was anticipating for this movie. Having seen the trailers, I thought: "Well let's get ready to kick some a**!!" Maybe I was expecting it to be more like the comic books, where Logan's childhood and personality is much more explored, but I did not see that in the movie.
Logan (finally) delivers his trademark line "I'm the best at what I do...", but whatever it is he does, he doesn't do that much. Same goes for the rest of the bunch. We see him and some fellow mutants. And each one does one or two mutant tricks, and that's about it for every and the whole character. All these characters have so much more potential than what is shown on the screen. A disappointment that they haven't explored that beyond those two mutant tricks.
As for the story, it was OK. Pretty standard Hollywood story, with some minor plot twists, that do not contribute much to the storyline. It's just a straight forward "I'm gonna get you" revenge story.
Well, what's good about the movie then? Some of the action scenes are pretty cool. Like the action scene in the middle, that's the kind of Wolverine we want to see!
Overall I had hoped more from it, but it's watchable. Would I see it again? Mwah.. don't know, it's good for a rainy Sunday. 5/10
