Metacritic Score: Wolverine - 42, Trek - 100

[urbandk]

Hopefully critical acclaim won't translate into poor box office...

Well, this isn't exactly "Merchant Ivory Productions presents Star Trek."

The Path Sidereal, starring:

Anthony Hopkins as J. Tiberius Kirk, retired admiral and aging widower, forgotten by his children

Vanessa Redgrave as Carol Marcus Aurelius, matriarch of an aristocratic San Francisco clan

and Cillian Murphy as David Marcus Aurelius III, rake and neer-do-well son of Aurelius, soon to make a personal discovery that will alter his life, and San Francisco high society, forever.

"Do be a sport and invite Khan over for a spot of tea and a game of cricket. You can work out your differences like respectable human beings."

 

[Theonethatis]

Wolverine is just not good, Another Tom Rothman special. Fox just needs to go away untill News Corp no longer owns it.

The Age of Innocence: The Next Generation

 

[NCC74894A]

Wow, just wow... this guy really does not like XMOW. (And he apparently doesn't believe in spoiler warnings either, because he drops some Juggernaut-sized ones in his excoriation of the film. Consider yourself warned.)

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

"the worst summer debut since 'Van Helsing'."

Ouch.

 

[MvRojo]

"X-Men Origins" is worse than "Elektra".

WOW!

 

[Sector 7]

Wow, just wow... this guy really does not like XMOW. (And he apparently doesn't believe in spoiler warnings either, because he drops some Juggernaut-sized ones in his excoriation of the film. Consider yourself warned.)

Is it even a spoiler when the WHOLE MOVIE was leaked? (... and yes the whole movie sux.)

If you are hell-bent on seeing "X-Men Origins: Wolverine", then you are literally bent on going to hell and there's nothing I can do to save you.

Wow... just wow!

 

[cubbie]

That may have been the most trashed movie review I've ever read.

 

[M'Sharak]

Wow, just wow... this guy really does not like XMOW. (And he apparently doesn't believe in spoiler warnings either, because he drops some Juggernaut-sized ones in his excoriation of the film. Consider yourself warned.)

No, he doesn't like it, and neither did his pen:

To try to give you a vague idea of how bad this film is, my pen ran out of ink writing down all the terrible things in this movie. I have had this pen on my keychain for seven years and it ran out of ink because it couldn't handle that amount of hate it had to transcribe and killed itself.

It really doesn't sound like it's very good, though.

Interesting...some of the bigger critics listed on metacritic actually gave Wolverine a good review.

RAMA

 

[CaptainHawk1]

"X-Men Origins" is worse than "Elektra". It is worse than "Ghost Rider". It is worse than the 2004 version of "The Punisher". It is worse than the 1989 version of "The Punisher". The only superhero movies worse than "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" may be "Batman & Robin" and "Superman III" and "IV".

Oh, SHIT!!!

And BTW, that slap at Punisher(2004) and not Punisher: War Zone just completely validated P:WZ, thank you very much.

'Bout time.

Fuckin' a....

Who???

And once again, thank you for keeping your shirt on.

 

[Ovation]

Current Rotten Tomatoes score--38% overall, 18% among "top critics" for Wolverine.

Roger Ebert's review is pretty scathing (and for a "top critic", he's usually sympathetic to genre films--he's also the reviewer who, on average, has about the same tastes as I do, so I've come to rely on his opinion above those of most other reviewers--though sometimes we don't agree at all on a particular film).

I have been powerfully impressed by film versions of Batman, Spider-Man, Superman, Iron Man and the Iron Giant. I wouldn't even walk across the street to meet Wolverine.

Guess I'll wait for the rental.

 

[CaptainHawk1]

The Iron Giant was a great film that's largely forgotten.

Ebert is definitely respectable with his film choices. He understands that a movie doesn't have to be all artsy fartsy to be good.

 

[Aragorn]

Plus he's not someone who will gush over every single film shown at Sundance just because it's "indy."

 

[clint g]

I plan on going to see Wolverine tonight with a bunch of friends. I'm not expecting much out of Wolverine but I hope they'll have a Trek trailer in front of the movie and maybe plant some seeds of interest in my friends mind's

I don't know if I respect a guy who yells at a movie screen when watching a movie.

Does have shades of a crazy baglady, doesn't it?

This clinches it for me, I ain't seeing Wolverine in the theater.
