Two mutant brothers, Logan and Victor, born 200 years ago, suffer childhood trauma and have only each other to depend on. Basically, they’re fighters and killers, living from war to war through U.S. history. In modern times, a U.S. colonel, Stryker, recruits them and other mutants as commandos. Logan quits and becomes a logger, falling in love with a local teacher. When Logan refuses to rejoin Stryker’s crew, the colonel sends the murderous Victor. Logan now wants revenge.

Even though I haven’t read the comics, I can tell that the makers of this have crammed together as many strands from the original comic’s histories as possible and strung them together on the vaguest and thinnest of plot strands, the results of which was going to be a failure, and with its serious tone never having a sense of messy silliness to it. No one would get a lot from this, X-Men comic fans or not.

This is so disappointing on so many levels. I was hoping that we were past the dull, exchangeable action movie bullshit. First half of the movie seems to be completely pointless, only to have the other half filled up with a "twist" every minute. And why did they add the pathetic stars and stripes aesthetic to it? And the end is also a lot of bullshit. You can clearly see that Wolverine was there before the script.
