10 Films That Won't Change Your Life

While the debate about whether Apocalypse is a decent addition to the franchise or a massive disappointment continues, let's agree that it was at least entertaining and a step up from The Last Stand. There isn’t anything good you can say about X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which is just one cliché stacked on top of another for 107 minutes.

Rushed and assembled by committee following conflict between the studio and director Gavin Hood, the movie glosses over the character’s history in order to spell out everything that we were told in X2, and very underwhelming it is too. Logan becomes a caricatured tortured soul tormented by the death of his lover, and as if that wasn’t hokey enough, they even through in an overhead shot of him cradling her dead body.

Once the filmmakers are done mangling Wolverine’s backstory, they move onto Deadpool, sewing his mouth shut (presumably because humour and irony don’t belong in the movie) and turning him into little more than a Frankenstein super soldier. He’s still played by Ryan Reynolds, but it’s inexcusable that he never got to punch Wolverine below the belt and yell, “!*$% shot!”
