Movie Review – X-Men Origins: Wolverine – ACTION!

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

"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. Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe.

I've been looking forwards to this film for quite a while, having been a fan of the X-men series and the last one being in 2006 - X-Men III: The Last Stand.

After seeing it, I wish I'd watched it at the cinema! It's quite an action flick. It got some bad reviews and the IMDB score is reasonable but I really enjoyed it.

Hugh Jackman is a solid Wolverine, no complaints there and it's good to see Liev Schreiber, he's getting some great parts and is an intense actor.

Ryan Reynolds was a good addition too, he's a smart guy and plays the funny/serious roles well.

Cinematography was superb and it was generally a fast paced film, even with the romantic subplot it played out well. Acting was good all around, nothing to complain about really.

I just need a bigger TV to watch it again in HD glory!

If you haven't seen it I definitely recommend giving it a watch, it's a must see for action fans and fans of the X-men franchise.

I give it a razor sharp 8/10.

Wasn't super into it, it's a good action movie and that's it. But Hugh Jackman's naked ass did it for me

Yeah, I love the expanded storyline too. Mighty useful for those not familiar with the comics.

Hugh Jackman just suit to be Wolverine. HDTV way too expensive, but I think is worth if we can save the money from going cinema

Yeah the rating on imdb isn't the best, but it definitely isn't bad. 6.8, Respectable. Its definitely worth the watch, and wolverine is definitely the coolest x-men character in my opinion

The only thing I could not grumble about was acting. I must admit that american actors are really great. Hugh is great Logan, and other also look good (even Will.I.Am is nice). But the whole movie is just so... stupid. I was hoping that they will bring some Weapon X deep story of confessions and pain, but all they did was another "fast camera move" action pulp. I'm sorry but I didn't expected much from that movie and get even less. It is not a good movie, its just another great idea wasted. Pity.

Kopertowki: It was no Dark Knight, Star Trek or anything resembling a plot. It was a good mindless action flick tho.
