YMMV: X Men Origins Wolverine
  • Complete Monster:
    • Sabretooth. Were you really expecting anything less?
    • Stryker's hardly an angel either.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Real world instance: Fans had been clamoring for Gambit to appear in X-Men films since the first one. The public response from the directors and writers was "If we include him, we want to make him integral to the story. We're not going to just throw him in there because he's popular." Come this film, Gambit is in, fulfilling a minor role which could be handled by pretty much any character. It really seems like the studio executives just thought, "Who's a popular character we haven't used yet?"
  • The Problem with Licensed Games: Averted. While it may not be on the level of the Batman Arkham Series, it is still considered a satisfying and fun hack-n-slash that was better received than the film itself.
  • Special Effect Failure: After three decent X-Men films, there's no reason Wolverine's claws should look so fake.
  • What The Hell, Casting Agency?: Liev Schreiber, who's about a foot shorter than Tyler Mane, as Victor Creed. He's excellent in the role and pretty intimidating, but it's still a tad jarring.
