Did the plot points stick in my head five minutes after leaving the theater? Not so much ... but I know I was having fun while watching.

Wolverine's backstory was good stuff -- but after the falling out with Schreiber, the story loses its center and it gets wobbly.
Ben Mankiewicz, At the Movies
Rotten
I was definitely disappointed.

Alas, there's nothing quite memorable here: much of the combat is just a whirl of movement photographed up close. As the X-Men series has progressed, the startling poetic extravagances of the first film have given way to flesh-pounding clumsiness.
