One of my all time favorites.
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
The film starts in 1845 and by the time the credits is over, it is up to date. Wolverine and his brother are recruited to fight in a special mutant force. The mutants are never introduced. There is an assumption you know these characters from previous movies or comics. I would not recommend this film as an introduction to X-Men.The special forces are more brutal than what Wolverine wants to be. "This isn't what we signed up for, " he says as he walks out. He becomes a Canadian and lives quietly like as a lumber jack. His brother is on a rampage...and Wolverine's life becomes disrupted. He must once again fight, only this time he is stronger and is more of a killer.The movie ties in nicely with the other 4 X-Men movies, which should be viewed to get an overall picture, which is difficult to obtain in this film alone. The acting was sufficient. Good CG, super action and fighting. It has plot twists, so pay attention. The movie sprinkles in the right amount of humor, drama, and truisms into the dialogue to make it a fun watch.
Astonishing opening scene, usually charismatic performance from Hugh Jackman, pretty Vietnam war movies inspired images and ............ that's all in this clichéd silly movie that has all flaws you can imagine from stupid superhero movies.
I gave the movie a 7 just because i enjoyed a lot the first hour of the movie. I didn t know why it has that low rating, i would have given it an 8 or 9. The enthusiasm stopped when Gambit appeared and stopped Logan from killing his brother, just because he slapped him earlier and, besides, he jumped out of nowhere like he wasn t 2ft behind Wolverine. Ok, movie wasn t rined, still a few bad things, but when Kayla appeared from the dead i knew it all ended. Logan, talking to her, said he will follow his insticts, and right before he was about to kill Victor he didn t do it because Kayle said to not do it.Nice contradiction 5 minutes after Wolverine said what he will do. He said before that he wanted to klll Stryker then he left the building. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU , LOGAN? He also helped Kayla s sister to escape, like a broken heart and the mind blown from that woman wouldn t be enough to stop listening to her..Final scenes? Non-sense, why Logan was careful to not fall from the top of the reactor, but when it collapses, he ends up jumping with no hesitation?. Kayla dies probably from hemoragy, so she couldn t have been saved at all and Wolverine was trying in vain to save her? Horrible. It could ve been such a great movie but I'm disappointed. Friends told me that Wolverine movies are lame, exception Logan, but i didn t want to believe them, my mistake
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!
