Hokey Wire Stunts in the trailer. A few scenes with the Mini Me-WolverineGirl looks like really average wire stunts. That terrible weightless and stunted momentum thing we've seen in so many movies. You'd think the producers might have learned to give an action movie to an action director or at least someone who can handle it well, but no
I have a feeling this is going to be just another quite bland Jackman outing as Wolverine. Had high hopes, but the more I see the more pedestrian it looks.

I really love the Matrix movies, but I found this totally jarring:
(For any reason that link doesn't work in the future: Final fight in Revolutions just after Smith says, 'my world, my world' - he dives down into Neo)
About 28 seconds in, I guess that kind of wire work you're talking about? Was kind of surprised that was left in the movie.

The wire work has always been dismal in the X-Men movies.

Yeah, people can't float through the air side ways or dip down and back up again. I agree. The wire work has always looked like sh!t. I don't even think people care to see Wolverine jump. They just want him to kick ass.

^^^This. I've always hated the jumping/action effects in these FOX-Men turkeys.
