I rewatched this last night & a lot of the acrobatic effects & cgi look dodgy & rushed. Definitely a lack of fluidity. But then again, i don't remember the effects being so great when i first saw this. They felt too obvious & punched-in.

Unless they are absolutely horrible I don't tend to notice. I also try not to go back and criticize because technology is always increasing so much.
Just my $.02.
They are absolutely horrible. Some of the worst CGI I've seen in a major Hollywood movie. This movie was released in 2009 not 1999.
shareAnd that means you are looking at it from the point of view of now.
Which scenes do you specifically think look bad? I know the scene where he's pulling down the fire escape isn't my favorite, but what else? Maybe I'm just not remembering them.
How so? I saw the movie in 2009, and I thought the effects looked embarrassing. 2009 wasn't very long ago.
Wolverine vs. Fire Escape, Wolverine's claws (particularly when he's fidgeting around with them in the bathroom), fight on top of the nuclear reactor, Patrick Stewart.
I guess I just didn't pay that much attention to his claws. I also remember in the comics how his claws used to be "claws" instead of blades. As in, they were curved not only side to side, but base to tip. So, if the point was they didn't look exactly the same as in the other movies I didn't care.
As far as Patrick Stewart goes, I think he looked a whole lot better being de-aged than Tom Hardy looked in Star Trek Nemesis. I mean, I've not seen any CGI look really good at de-aging an actor.

Aged?
The effects weren't even good for their time.
Can't stop the signal.
100% agreed. I saw that unfinished bootleg then the real finished movie later on and it still looked horrid, I like the movie but the sfx are the worst of any X-men movie. Its not aging, they are just poor. Go back and watch Terminator 2, if sfx is done well, it holds up as the years pass and T2 is a great example.
shareHaven't aged well lol. They weren't made well to begin with.
shareI giggled at the logs that fell on wolvie...teh movement was so fake looking :d
And his claws are sometimes distracting :)
The director didn´t do action scenes of this kind before so they look the way they look...
@leyenda61 If you thought those scenes looked bad, rewatch the scene where the kids run to the helicopter and Xavier. Hilariously bad green screen that looks like it's from a TV movie.
shareI didn't notice that. I might just try to rewarch that scene. Is it really so hard to get a Wolverine movie right? I am very skeptical of "Logan".

No need to be skeptical about Logan now. We all saw how well that movie turned out to be. Now I wonder what Hugh is going to bring to Deadpool 3 in his first Wolverine role since Logan.
shareThe crew must have been rushed during post-production.
