Wolverine was not terrible, Not good but you can see why they did it first, Money and box office stuff. With Magnito Growing up in World War 2 and the how he was good, friends with Xavier and then went off the beaten track is a good story. It needs to be dark, really gritty and really not hide from the war. Make it part of the movie, the camps and what the Germans did with him after he bent the gate etc.

I think movies like Conan and He-man Could work if they focus on script and look and feel. I think these movies become surprise hits when they hire unknown actors so they do not spend all their cash just getting well known actors so their budget can be spent on other things.

One movie I forgot to mention is Red Sonia which is starting Rose Mcgowen.

I watched the zombieland trailer thinking SOTD rip off, but as it went I thought, meh, it looks quite cool. I hate zombies though, they freak me out

Mind you I have been waiting for Worst Case Scenario for blooming ages:
