REVIEW: X MEN Origins Wolverine


Plot: Hugh Jackman stars in the tracing of Wolverine from his earliest beginnings. X MEN Origins Wolverine explains some untold details found in the trilogy and how the mutants came to be.

This one's as good as the trilogy. It is highly entertaining, with great visual effects and an OK storyline. However, for some odd reason, it doesn't really leave a long-lasting impression on me, if you know what i mean. And i must add that transitions were quite bad - some were actually awkward... So i'm not sure about the editing crew.

Rating: 3.5/5

REVIEW: 17 Again


Plot: A middle-aged man magically transforms into his 17 year old body and decides to redo high school, while helping out his kids and maybe fixing his marital tie.

I find this irritatingly unoriginal. The whole idea wasn't tied up together with proper special effects. We've seen this before - Freaky Friday, and other insignificant ones that followed. It is also quite cheesy. Which i don't really enjoy. And i think Zac Efron is quite overrated. Sorry.

Rating: 2/5
