Having seen both new “blockbuster” movies, the new Star Trek and Wolverine, I must say that I was not impressed.
However, the reasons are very different. Wolverine is a movie that deserved to be much longer while Star Trek was just rather pointless to a fan. It showed us something that does not add anything to, or play a role in, all the previous events we have seen in any movie or series.
Having said that, the movie is fun and engaging, but it fails to provide people that love the universe with more relevant info about the characters and that is a major flaw in my humble opinion.
As for Wolverine, the flaw in that movie is that it only has one viewpoint, that of Wolverine. So many characters and events are discussed in the movie but not given any background or substance. Hence we are left with a feeling of lost info, wondering what happened there or there, who that is, why did he did that etc. This is a movie that deserved many more hours of storytelling but we did not get that. Also, what is wrong with naming the characters with the aliases that Marvel gave them? So many of them are not called by their better known aliases.
