X-Men Origins: Wolverine


Jackman stars as the angry, adamantium-clawed mutant for the fourth time in this conventional, though briskly moving, popcorn flick from the Marvel Comics universe as we learn how James became Logan/Wolverine. James and his half-brother Victor (Schreiber) join in various wars throughout the decades. Eventually this draws the attention of nefarious General William Stryker (Huston) and his Team X mutant Army unit. Wolverine comes to regret his participation but will never be allowed to lead a peaceful life. Other mutants make appearances, with Reynolds (as Deadpool) and Kitsch (as Gambit) making the most of their screen time.

  Does the first big summer movie set the tone for the entire season? Last summer, Iron Man rocked audiences and most critics, and I think any summer movie season that gives us Wall-E and The Dark Knight needs to be looked at as a good one. The year before ...Read More

dynamic sense of presence, well done
yellowjacket at 2009-09-17 00:13:41
The pace is great and the action is unbelievable. I couldn't believe that almost two hours had gone by when it was over. It's not as complex as Iron Man or Spider-Man 2 but it's loaded with intense fun. Everything in this movie is exceedingly better then what we saw in X3. Characters find their own distinctiveness and just flat out kick butt. Visually, it's a sight to behold, with good effects and a dynamic sense of presence. I was very impressed with the direction and cinematography. The final showdown was a standout and will be remembered as one of the best comic book confrontations of all time. It's wonderful action mixed with nice drama. It so fits the main characters. The cast was used remarkably well and Hugh Jackman simply shines as Wolverine. Overall, I had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this movie.
