The more I see of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the less excited I become. There I said it. The first trailer that came out a couple months ago was action-packed for sure, but it felt a bit over the top. Now with these three new one-minute promos that aired during Fox's prime-time schedule, I'm not exactly impressed.

One of the more worrisome elements is that a lot of the forced humor that turned Wolverine into a walking punchline in X-Men: The Last Stand stuck around, and that's a bit disheartening. Also, I don't know if I'm the only one still skeptical, but I haven't seen Liev Schreiber (Defiance) do anything that makes me like him as Sabretooth yet. Hugh Jackman has already done a bit of damage control on those reshoots in Vancouver, but unless something amazing comes out before May, then I might need some more reassurance.

So far the only things sustaining a decent amount of interest and dare I say excitement are:

• Hugh Jackman as Wolverine because he's just so damn good at it
  
  
• Gambit being in the movie at all. This was a character that deserved the full fledged X-Men treatment, and it's good to see him on screen.
  
  
• Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. Despite Blade Trinity falling flat on its face, I enjoyed Reynolds character and it'll be good to see him in something other than mediocre romantic comedies again.
  
  
• Dominic Monaghan as Beak. I just want to see how he plays in a comic book movie.
  
  
• Any potential cameos from other X-Men.
