Yeah....it's late, I'm glassy-eyed and I just finished watching X-Men Origins: Wolverine for the second time.
Yeah, it's still "in post-production", so what. Maybe that's my mutant ability. Well, that and being able to produce bacon at will. That's my +5 baconator at work though.
So you want the notes. No problem there, except for the storyline of course. What...you didn't expect to have a real honest-to-god movie pooped out by Marvel in 2009, did you? Ah, you did...well....

For The Win:

Adamantium Bonding - Holy shit, I nearly went blind in that scene for the sheer amount of cool and awesome that was before me. At least they got that right. One word....painful. That fucking scene delivers.

Wolverine Through The Wars - Yup it's all there (in about 5 minutes worth of film-time). Civil War, WWI, WWII and Vietnam. Sheer coolness even though it's already been fucked, but I'll get to that later. Sorry but no Captain America cameo for all you true to life comic nerds....yeah, you.

Gambit - I've always held beef with Gambit. It's like he stole my long forgotten virginity and never called me back. In the movie though, it's like, "it's cool you never called. It's just really good to see you again." He pulls off some official badassery even though he gets involved in about 12 minutes total.

The rest, my friends, is Fail (yup, it's capitalized).

For The Lose:
Oh for fuck's sake. Where to begin.....

Oops, almost forgot....
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Keep scrolling.....






Okay, should be safe now.



Wolverine & Sabertooth, Brothers?! - Oh what the fucking fuck. In the 1st 5 minutes of the film Marvel decides to fist-fuck it's own ass and shoot THIS as the main fucking story-line. I was reaching for one of my knives throw at the screen, but decided that it was for the best (and my monitor) that I let the movie play and see how things panned out, but nope...that's THE WHOLE FUCKING STORYLINE.

Weapon-X's Release From The Facility - I'm not even going into it. Trust me in the fact that it has nothing to do with the comics at all and pure fail is delivered. This scene equals nearly a whole 30 seconds of movie-time. Anger....rising......rising.......

Deadpool and Ultimate Failure To Deliver - Yeah, it starts out great and you're thinking to yourself, "I know exactly which one Deadpool is going to be, since he mouths off and cracks wise about someone's mama every chance he gets." You're right, it's him....but....
Did you know Deadpool had Cyclop's eyebeams? Or Wolverine's claws? Or DIDN'T HAVE A FUCKING MOUTH?!?!
Marvel you continue to fail me.

I could go on, how I nearly gouged my own eyes out while shitting myself on the totally made-for-movie fabrication of "smaller" details, but I think you get the point.
If you're looking for a pretty cool flick and that's all, go see the movie. If you're looking for Wolverine, look in the comics because that's as close as you're going to get. Thanks Marvel....I think I'll stick to DC when it comes to film.

All in all, the Non Era/Dallas Darkstar rating equals:
5/10
Simply because I'm a fanboy and was REALLY hoping Marvel was going to deliver this time instead of fucking up it's own mythos *cough*X3*cough*.
