So we're getting more of this:
"Well-acted, with spectacular action and witty one-liners. The special effects are top-notch."
- Claudia Puig USA TODAY review

But now some of this:
"A keen disappointment as action and effects take over from a poorly conceived story."
- Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter

No clear-cut general consensus seems to be developing at this stage. Let's see how it goes. There are a lot of major critics we still have to hear from. Wonder what Ebert will think of it.

"X-Men Prequel is Kickass Kickoff to Blockbuster Season"
- Lou Lumenick NY POST review

We've seen some great reviews of 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine', but the aggregate rating at Rotten Tomatoes has cooled somewhat for the time being. It's still above average, but down from it's initial '100% fresh' rating. What we're seeing right now is preliminary - most of the major critics have yet to weigh in.

Wolverine premieres in Tempe Arizona

You have to hand it to Hugh Jackman. He's really making a consistent effort to incorporate the fans into the whole 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' process. Check out this little excerpt from an article about the premiere on ABC15.com:

Jackman also bought breakfast for the X-Men fans who camped out at the Tempe Marketplace early Monday morning. They were trying to stake out the best seats in the movie theater. "I was like, 'Man, that's what I love about Wolverine fans,'" Jackman said. "They're so passionate. I said the least I could do is buy them a muffin and a cup of coffee."

Dunst still iffy on Spider-Man 4

It's being reported that Kirsten Dunst has not yet signed on for Spider-Man 4. I'm of the opinion that the franchise can continue without her and still be successful. Tobey Maguire really captured the essence of Peter Parker and the series would really need to find a fantastic replacement for him, if that were even possible. But Dunst was never a convincing Mary Jane in my eyes - she's a great actress, but a poor fit for this particular character.
