Seriously, when Quinto’s Spock was strangling the young Kirk, I was half-expecting him to whip out his finger and slice Kirk’s cranium open. Despite that, I was still sold on the idea that this new guy IS Spock. The actors contribute to the character’s legend, and put in enough of the old, that their performances are more of a recognition, than a parody of what’s gone before…

I personally don’t get why people have their underwear in a bunch about X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Granted, it’s not an amazing movie, but it does showcase a full cast of studs. I don’t think anyone could want more than that. Let’s face it: Wolverine isn’t exactly the most complicated hero in the Marvel Multiverse. He’s just hardcore, and that’s about it. Anyone who has his mutant ability is bound to run off throwing himself into jet engines for a hobby. I bet a lot of folks don’t realize that thrills aren’t thrilling when there’s absolutely no chance of not walking out unscathed…
