This movie serves it's main purpose. It shows background on how Wolverine is a mutant, that becomes a military experiment. This movie may not have had the best effects or visual presentation, but the story is what it was all about. We all knew(at least us comic book people) where this story would end.
The interesting part about this whole movie was the many introduction to characters that are key to the story, but not exactly main stream. No matter how you put it Deadpool and Gambit are not main stream. Yet, these two characters played such an important role in this movie that we can begin the rumors of which will get a spin off. It is obvious that a Gambit movie will further the X-Men story line and probably introduce such characters as Storm and possibly Jean Gray. But Deadpool can introduce the darker side of characters. The scenarios here are truly endless. These two characters have opened the door to the time that occurs between X-Men Origins: Wolverine and the first of the X-Men trilogy.
I look forward to see what can come of this. I am not a disappointed person when it comes to this story because, once again we all knew how this would end.
