10 Worst Comic Book Movie Climaxes

Very little about X-Men Origins: Wolverine works on any level, and anyone who had any hope for the movie throughout has it shattered by the film’s third act, which not only destroyed the character of Wolverine but also Deadpool too.

The decision to make Deadpool the literal antithesis of his comic book counterpart was seen as an insult to fans the world over, and his fight with Wolverine and Sabretooth atop a nuclear reactor is just a smorgasbord of dumb CGI nonsense. Ryan Reynolds may have later saved the character with the Deadpool movie, but for a while this was all we had of the Merc with a Mouth on screen… and he literally didn’t even have a mouth.

But after that idiocy, the film further compounds its ineptitude that explains Logan lost his memories from taking an adamantium bullet to the head. Not only is that not really how brains work, it fundamentally misunderstands how both adamantium works in the X-Men films and how bullets in general work.

Didn’t General Stryker say in X-Men 2 that adamantium is so strong that it can never be melted again once it has hardened? And how do bullets function again? Oh yeah, so this makes absolutely no sense. That may be nitpick to some, but it’s a moment that really sums up how dumb Origins is in every facet.
