This weekend my friend and I did a double feature of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and Star Trek
I’d heard nothing but bad things about Wolverine (my friends even called it “slightly worse than X-Men 3”), but I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it was a decent action flick with interesting backstory into the known characters. Note that I’m not at all a Marvel Comics fan, so I don’t have any idea of whether that makes a difference in the enjoyment of the movie.
I absolutely loved the new Star Trek, however. I thought it was very well done, that they successfully rebooted the franchse in a way that makes sense for the established continuity, while opening it up to be enjoyed by non-Trekkies alike.
