A few days ago a friend of mine handed me a copy of x-men origins: wolverine. you know the one that leaked to the web a few weeks back. usually i turn down these offers coz hey – i like movies. i like watching them on the big screen, so why go for second best. but i’m also a die-hard comics fan and well… the temptation was just too great. i slipped it into the dvd player and you know what? i was so dissapointed. not at the movie, but at the quality. no sound effects, no big bangs, no visually stunning special effects. and what was frustrating is you could tell that there’s a cool movie there. 10 minutes later i pressed stop, called up my bros (yes, at 37 we still love comics) and bought tickets to see it on saturday.
hell i’ll wait another day and pay up the few bucks, but at least i won’t feel like i was getting played
