I watched this last night and, aside for the action sequences, I thought it was pretty bad.  Logan's origin was kind of corny; I don't know if it was created for the movie or if it was told somewhere in the comics, but I remember Logan being a mysterious character who didn't know where he came from.  Sometimes, the story works better this way.  If they ever do a Phantom Stranger movie, I hope they keep his origin out of the story.

Dialog was a big problem with me.  It was hokey and, often predictable and cliche.  Comments were telegraphed.

I doubt I'll see the sequel.  This one just didn't do it for me.

I quite enjoyed it. I was expecting it to be a lot worse, but it was OK. It had enough going on to keep it interesting even if it wasn't quite as deep and hard as it could have been.

It mainly suffered from what a lot of comic book conversions suffer from...the temptation to throw 100 different people into the mix for no real reason which results in a haphazard story-line with little logic.

It was still good enough that I'd like to see a sequel.

Problem is it can't go anywhere.

Deadpool has a movie coming and they are now doing a stupid prequel X Men movie and an origin to Magneto.

By the time that is out of the way Hugh Jackman and the series will be old and washed up.

The problem with big movies is that they dick around for years before committing to something and thus we get straight to video cheap crap with new lesser actors playing the roles.

Quoted Text A July 9, 2009, verdict on the case denied a claim by Siegel's family that it was owed licensing fees. U.S. District Court judge Stephen G. Larson said Warner Bros. and DC Comics have fulfilled their obligations to the Siegels under a profit-sharing agreement for the 2006 movie Superman Returns and the CW series Smallville. However, the court also ruled that if Warner Bros. does not start a new Superman film by 2011, the family will have the right to sue to recover damages.

Even faced with a potential lawsuit they won't haul ass and get something going.

I think with all the talent and years of comics they have, no excuse makes sense for any company not to make these films especially since people love it and they green lit Ghost Rider 2.
