I finally knuckled under and watched this. At first, I thought it was ok... that some of the vitriol towards it had to be misplaced. Sure, there should have been a piece of cake with pink frosting in that bar where Logan and Creed go knuckles to eyebrows for the first time... and they could have done the scene where Logan takes the cabin's door to make the grave marker for Silver Fox. Then again, unless someone was the right age in the 80's to have read the comics, that stuff could all easily be glossed over.
About the time Gambit showed up, the movie went straight down hill. The effects, the directing, and even the choreography went out the window at that point and never really recovered. The late movie rendition of Deadpool was just silly. I remember when I used to read the comics, Wolverine and Deadpool had a good looking fight in New Orleans back when Logan's healing factor was still messed up from getting the adamantium yanked. Deadpool fought with guns, swords, and horrible puns instead of implanted blades and eye beams, and it was a much better fight for it.
I remember one of the special edition comic books, it had a yellow cover that was "slashed" through to reveal a collage of snapshots of Logan from various times and places. The story went on to detail things about Weapon-X and the brainwashing side of it, and it culminated in a battle with a self repairing cyborg/robot named Shiva - The Destroyer Program. (Which they used, albeit poorly, as the first boss in Adamantium Rage). If they had worked some of that into the plot, the movie could have had a substantial upswing. It would have been win-win... Logan could have had a knock down drag out to beat the band with a giant robot that he could hack into pieces. They could have displayed total unrepentant ferocity and still maintained their Pg-13 rating. And come on, "You can't kill me with memories!" being bellowed during the bi-secting of the enemy robot would have been a scene that easily topped anything in the film. (Yeah, I know, the Destroyer Program happens a couple decades after the Weapon-X stuff so it isn't technically part of the origin, but in a comic book movie "historical accuracy" is never that much of an issue anyway.)
I don't know, the first half of the movie was okay - but it felt like a chore getting through the rest of it. I must now bottle up that remnant of inner child who can still quote Wolverine history chapter and verse...
