Review of Gambit in X-Men Origins: Wolverine


At first...underwhelmed by the movie (like most of the X-Men so far), I was quite dissapointed. After watching it 4 more times, I liked it each time a little more. My conclusion: It's a good movie with great fighting scenes (although it could have used more). In regards to how an X-Men movie should be done, it was a different story. They need to find a writer that is a geniune X-Men fan for the next movies.

Gambit's role in X-Men Origins: Wolverine
He was introduced with the stereotypical character you'd guess they would cast for this role. I believe that he did an alright job with the lines he was given, but they missed the mark on his character in general. He was as the 'last second' saviour a couple times. His one little battle with Wolverine was very melee based, and the only charging he did (not the stick stuff), was a neat card throw in his first scene (the cards didn't even really blow up though).
Overall the movie gets an 8/10
Gambits role in the movie gets 4/10
