To be smut, it must be utterly without redeeming social importance

I am under no illusions that X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) was a good movie. I didn't think it was at the time. But every time I am reminded it exists, I wish it had been better, because Liev Schreiber with retractile claws was great.

God, how I wish any part of this film had equalled Schreiber's performance.

+1. I think that may actually have been my original complaint about it. [edit: Yes. Now I just want to rewatch the opening and his scenes. Dammit.] He was perfect.

Though who knows, right? Ryan Reynolds eventually got to do Deadpool the way he was meant to be, so maybe a better version of Sabertooth can be resurrected, too. A lot of what I like to call the "skipped" X-Men are ending up in this new mutant TV series, apparently...

From your lips to God's ears!
