Movie Message Board / Movies / SCI-FI / X-men / Columnist Fired For Early Review of Wolverine

Posted:  10 Apr 2009 21:40
Fox News columnist Roger Friedman is out after posting a review of a leaked full-length work print of " X-Men Origins: Wolverine ." Fox News said Monday that the company's representatives and Friedman "mutually agreed to part ways immediately."

Friedman had been an entertainment writer who has contributed to FoxNews.com for 10 years. He wrote in his Fox 411 column Thursday that downloading the 20th Century Fox superhero prequel was "so much easier than going out in the rain" and that the movie "exceeds expectations at every turn."

The reviewer had mostly only good things to say about the movie.

Quote:
I do think the film works so beautifully because the screenplay is so streamlined. David Benioff (whose real name, I read, is David Friedman — he’s married to Amanda Peet) carefully delineated these characters and did a smashing job. I had less trouble following this story than the one in "Fireflies in the Garden." He’s made "Wolverine" just the right kind of summer entertainment — a thrill ride with lots of emotional investment and a hero simply bigger than life. That’s all you can ask for.


X-Men Origins star Hugh Jackman has called the leaking of his film a month before release a "serious crime".
