cricketbat X-Men Origins: Wolverine is stupid fun. The director, it seems, was so concerned about squishing every cameo, action sequence and plot twist into the rushed film, that he forgot to make it somewhat believable and/or coherent. This adamantium apple fell pretty far from the tree.

filmtogo What did the filmmakers think when they created this mess of a film? It's supposedly a prequel to the X-Men franchise centered around Wolverine but X-Men Origins is changing everything there was before (or what will be after). Somehow Liev Schreibers Sabretooth becomes Wolverines brother - and they share a (hands down) kinda cool opening sequence in which they go through the different warfields in time to show us that they're both immortal. But then we get a boring Gambit, a team of throwaway mutants and poor Ryan Reynolds as a guy who is called Deadpool but has nothing in common with him. This film has some little nice ideas in it but the execution is horrible from start to finish.

thomasporter-43693 WARNING: I AM SOMEWHAT BIAS TO ALL X-MEN/ WOLVERINE MOVIESEven though I am bias to these movies, I have tried to put my personal likings to the side and give a fair review to this movie. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is the first solo movie for Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and comes in with a bang! Solid backstory about Logan and his brother and how they grew up. Good supporting roles and intense action throughout the movie. The one star I would take away from this movie would be for predictable action scenes, however excellent resolution. More background on how wolverine was created and where he has come from. All in all, I really enjoyed this first insert to the wolverine trilogy and recommend this movie to 13+ and anyone who enjoys action adventure movies!

SpitfireLil I used to read comics… a lot! This movie reminded me why I stopped and Wolverine's "bone claws" was a big reason why. No one knew he even had them under all that adamantium until Magneto pulled it all out of Wolverine's body (why he hadn't done that before, given the ridiculous number of opportunities is a big storyline duh. But this all goes back to the TRUE origin story: Barry Windsor-Smith's "Weapon X". It was a comic masterpiece and ignored by Marvel with the bone claws and then completely distorted beyond all recognition by this junk movie. And ain't it curious how Wolvie's new claws were all sharpened and everything because that's what would happen if you just coat bones with metal… –_–This movie was a lot of green screen jackassery and don't get me started about the dismissal of physics and this idiotic slow motion crap for action sequences that is still done today! This movie was made for the fanboys who think blowing stuff up is all an action movie is while calling it a "thrill ride". It's an insult to a superior comic origin story and doesn't even come close to being good. I just watched this because I had never seen it before. I wasted my time; glad I didn't waste any money at the box office!
