X Hits The Spot

This is first class movie, in the same vain as Spiderman, Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider and the Hulk.
Action packed and visually stunning, this is the fourth in the series of Marvel X-Men movies, though technically speaking it is a spin-off.
The story follows two mutant brothers, Logan and Victor, born 200 years ago, suffer childhood trauma and have only each other to depend on. Basically, they're fighters and killers, living from war to war through U.S. history. In modern times, a U.S. colonel, Stryker, recruits them and other mutants as commandos. Logan quits and becomes a logger, falling in love with a local teacher. When Logan refuses to rejoin Stryker's crew, the colonel sends the murderous Victor. Logan now wants revenge… Without wanting to give too much away (as I don’t want to spoil the movie for anyone), I can tell you that it has some familiar figures from the original comics, which will be new faces to the new movie audience.
Being a bit of a movie-nut myself, I always look-out for those little gaffs or mistakes made by film-makers. I don’t think they spoil the movies, I just find them interesting – and this movie has many… Look out for the scene in the village when Wolverine holds Sabretooth's hand to stop him from killing the man, you can clearly see that in some scenes Wolverine's claws are drawn out, while in other scenes it isn't.
Or - When Gambit knocks Logan through the wall of the bar in Louisiana, the hole changes size. One size when he makes it, and another when Gambit comes through it into the alley.
Or even - At the end of the film when Wolverine is talking to Gambit, the links that his dog tags are clipped on with move. In one scene, you can clearly see the link is at the side of his neck, but when it cuts to Gambit and back to Logan, it is hidden.
Not to mention - Sabretooth is clearly being shot through the chest by Weapon XI laser vision, yet when Sabretooth regenerates and stands up there are no holes in his shirt or cape, as if it never happened.
Or even - When Wolverine approaches Kayla's body, her mouth is hanging open. When he reaches down to close her eyes, her mouth is closed.
And another interesting Gaff is - After Wolverine slices through the first vehicle, the vehicle flips showing no damage from the claws!
Or - In the boxing match between Wolverine and the Blob, when the Blob is losing his balance his position changes several times from different shots. At first the poster on the wall is behind him then the corner by the wall is behind him, then when he falls backwards on the ropes it is on the open side of the ring towards the room, the opposite side of the poster.
Yet another mistake to look for is - When Logan is slicing everyone up after getting his surgery, he's naked but you can see that Hugh Jackman is wearing shorts during the fight/escape scene (until he's outside)!
Or - When Cyclops is in Spanish class, we see verb conjugations written on the chalkboard. The word "tu" is written without an accent mark. So it means "your" in Spanish, not the pronoun "you".
And the mistake that most movie maker make - After Wolverine jumps out of the plane to go to Three Mile Island he takes some violent bounces across the water. Yet when he shows up moments later in the facility he is completely dry and his clothes are unscathed.
I can highly recommend this movie to just about anyone from aged 3 to 93! You will love this - And only Sado’s like me notice the Gaff!
