UsherMovie Review: “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”
Author: Staff | Date: April 2nd 2009 | Views: 2,082
The new “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” movie is definitely worth a look! This adaptation of the X- Men story is the best so far. All the mysteries are finally revealed in this one as director Gaven Hood takes us on a ride though the haunting and troubling past of Wolverine, explaining everything from his solid antemium core to the origins of his name, and even his unexplainable memory loss. As if answering all the cliffhanging questions about Wolverine wasn’t enough, Hood managed to intertwine the past of Wolverine with that of other mutants such as Sabertooth, Gambit, Night Crawler, Deadpool, Beak, Blob and even Cyclops.
In the movie, Wolverine attempts to live life as regular as possible, despite his mutant abnormalities. Alongside his brother, Victor Creed, Wolverine leaves the protection of his family and home to a life more suitable for people of his kind: a life of blood and killing. Wolverine and his brother, both having similar mutant powers, placed their slash marks throughout history as they fought in countless wars, spilling blood from The Civil War to the second World War. But even war couldn’t keep the animals roaming inside them contained. Eventually they were recruited by a special military operation headed by William Stryker, that required the special abilities of certain mutants.
Worn out by all the killing and bloodshed, Wolverine gives up his life of violence to live out his days in a more peaceful way. Unaware of his girlfriend’s telepathic ability, he was manipulated into participating in a program called Mutant X program, a program designed to genetically produce mutants with multiple strengths but none of the personality weaknesses. In other words, the perfect solider to combat the mutant infestation.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine is the complete package, having equally impressive acting and CGI effects. Even the supporting actors played their role as if they were trying to win Oscars. The cast includes Hugh Jackman, Will.i.am, Ryan Reynolds, Liev Schreiber, Lynn Collins, Taylor Kitsch, Daniel Henny, Kevin Durand and more. Overall, this movie, hands down, is one of the best so far this year.
X-Men Origins is set to hit theaters May 1, 2009. Be sure to check it out!

This review is full of inaccuracies, from the metal coating his bones (adamantium, not antemium) to this idea that it’s worth watching. the movie is pretty bad, and this review is pretty bad as well. how can you say they “placed their slash marks throughout history” and in the next sentence say “But even war couldn’t keep the animals roaming inside them contained”? it doesn’t make sense. Also, you don’t even talk about large parts of the movie. This review is not a movie critic’s review, it’s a tabloid reivew.

I had heard the movie leaked but from what I hear it’s also not exactly the version that will be released in theatres.
Lie much?

This movie sucks. The author of this page is obviously being paid to spew random lines by Fox executives in an attempt to sell tickets. This movie had a terrible plot and was poorly executed.

I also saw a finished copy of Wolverine. All of the effects were finished unlike the early versions with strings on the actors and grey blobs for characters. The supporting stars are in very few scenes, Gambit is in three, cyclops is in two Charles Xavier one. EVERY one dies except sabretooth and wolverine. There are a few scenes after the credits so stick around. You can read my FULL review (With Spoilers) on my blogsite twogaysandamovie.blogspot.com

i saw the unfinished version and seriously just hope this isnt the one being released next month. it was horrible. the changes to the storylines and the lack of character development – horrendous. wolverine has a great storyline and should be a trilogy in itself but they went through and rushed through it all…i was also not too happy with the development of wade wilson who was one of the most entertaining characters – plus with ryan reynolds – what a waste. i’ll still be in theathers to watch, i just hope the finished version is much much better than this.

It seems like just talking about this movie can get you in trouble. I’m sure everyone knows of the critics who have lost their jobs simply by blogging about seeing this. I already know several people who have copies of this film, but I doubt I’ll take the time to watch it this far in advance.
