Okay, first things first - did they really need to title this movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine? Does anyone not know who Wolverine after three X-Men movies grossed over $600 million? I guess they did so you kind of get the sense that this doesn't pick up where X-Men: The Last Stand left off, which it definitely doesn't. In fact, it doesn't even make it into the 1980s but we'll get to that. Spoilers ahead!Overall, I thought the film was good but not great. Some of the love story stuff with Silver Fox seemed to drag on, and some of the new characters they introduced didn't enhance anything, like Bolt and Blob. They were just kind of there but I guess they had to set up the whole black ops team storyline. The introduction of Gambit was nice, and I think Ryan Reynolds did a great job of Deadpool. I didn't really like how he kinda came back in the end but whatever.
Apparently there are two different post credits scenes depending on whichever one they show.
Overall, I give the movie 4 out of 5 stars. A good ride but left me wishing for something a little more.

In regards to the X-Men Origins: thing, I think they're trying to "rebrand" the series and separate them from the first three films. I think they're done with the "X-Men" series (because they kind of FUBAR'd it), and they're moving on to the "Origins" series.
