I very much appreciate the nod to continuity as part of the series reboot. I do wish they would stay away from the slapstick comedy and hope they'll work on the dialog for the expected sequels.

I didn't notice Majel Barrett Roddenberry as the voice of the computer, but caught it in the credits. I realized at that moment that it just felt natural.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine
So this is supposed to be the history of Wolverine. Why is the first 120 years of his life blown through in the opening credits? I can picture the storyboard meeting:
"Ok, we have to hit points A -> P that fanboys will recognize from the comic books, plus allow for sufficient action scenes with Logan. Since all that clearly won't fit into a mature, developed plot, let's just string them all back to back."
I admit, it's better than the shit Brett Rattner shoved down out throats a few years ago. Honestly, I'd rather they just didn't make any more since they've mucked it up so badly.
