Wonderful Movie
To me, this movie is perfection.
Such a frustrating disappointment
Overrated
I just finished watching The first three XMen movies and followed with Wolverine.There is a lot to like about this movie. They got Victor Creed so right. I much prefer this character portrayal than the one written for the original XMen movie. Hugh Jackman is also great in this - I don't think he's ever been bad as the character, he's just improved since the first movie. The story was great. Lots of great characters involved that we hadn't seen up to this point. What they got wrong was Wade Wilson (aka Deadpool). Ryan Reynolds did a great job, it's just the portrayal was written so wrong. But, with the events of XMen: Days Of Future Past, this version of Deadpool can still stand in the old/original timeline. Anyway, glad they did a better version of Wade/Deadpool later. Also some of the CGI in this is a little hard to swallow. Logan's claws are drawn on way too much - especially for close up shots. They look like cartoons over live action (like Roger Rabbit). So I liked the story and the movie as a whole but, it did seem to be edited strangely. Like a minute or 2 of some scenes were missing. If you're an XMen fan then you will like this but, also be disappointed by some of the places they dropped the ball a little. Otherwise it is still a decent action sci-fi movie. It's probably the weakest of the XMen movies but still worth the watch.
Honestly, this isn't the best Wolverine movie I have watched it was just an okay one at best.However this movie did after all sort of explain how Wolverine was a weapon X-program and how his brother Sabertooth ended up going their own ways and one turning.Also what they hell did they do to Deadpool towards the end of the movie? He looked like a stuffed manakin.The rest of the movie was okay nethertheless.
'We're going to make you indestructible - but first, we're gonna have to destroy you.' Gavin Hood directs this 2009 cinematic version of the origins (read 'explanation') or the X-Men series of comic book heroes based on a screenplay by David Benioff ('Game of Thrones' etc) and Skip Woods ('Hitman', 'Swordfish', 'The A Team' etc). The team manages to pull of the credibility-testing feat with aplomb – just the right amount of humanistic emphasis on the early ears of Wolverine and a flair for the impossible feats and countless deaths of the latter half of this film. It is a look at Wolverine's early life, in particular his time with the government squad Team X and the impact it will have on his later years.Leading up to the events of X-Men, X-Men Origins: Wolverine tells the story of Wolverine's epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program. Two mutant brothers, Logan (Hugh Jackman) who will become Wolverine of the retractable claws and Victor (Liev Schreiber), born 200 years ago, suffer childhood trauma and have only each other to depend on. Basically, they're fighters and killers, living from war to war through U.S. history. In modern times, a U.S. colonel, Stryker (Danny Huston), recruits them and other mutants as commandos. Logan quits and becomes a logger, falling in love with a local teacher (Lynn Collins). When Logan refuses to rejoin Stryker's crew, the colonel sends the murderous Victor. Logan now wants revenge. Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe (Ryan Reynolds, Taylor Kitsch, Dominic Monaghan, Daniel Henney, et al) whose appearances in the film series have long been anticipated.The first half of the film is sensitive and humanistic (Ryan Reynolds manages to insert his expected spot-on one liners to keep the story light) – the second half is pure CGI tricks (though according to the featurettes Hugh Jackman performed all his own choreographic fights). Better than expected and a really fascinating cast!
X-Men Origins: Wolverine is so bad? Wolverine is my favorite character and when this movie was announced, we wanted violence as is the character in Hqs, unfortunately it did not, so we did not get to see the real Wolverine in the movie. James '' Logan '' relationship Howlett with his brother Victor Creed is very good, Hugh Jackman does well in the role, but the highlight is even Liev Schreiber as Victor Creed or Sabretooth, even though the film has good moments. Logan's relationship with Silver Fox works a bit, but it leaves a lot to be desired, we have appearances of Other mutants, such as Gambit that is cool, Emma Frost and Cyclops too, Gavin Hood's direction is medium, he hits a few things, more misses a lot more, the script is also very problematic, X- Men Origins: Wolverine does not get to be rubbish like a lot of people talk about it, More that is weak, unfortunately it is.
