Sorry, this movie sucks

Nice effects though.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

The films setup is the same as his comic book origin. But due to the fact that they explain squat of you didn't know you would be confused like I was the first time I saw it. From then on the film is rushed. Making sabertooth wolverine's brother was a bad decision on its own. The performance was fine but everything else was off. Remember how in the comics sabertooth had blond hair and even in the first X-men but the decision to make him have brown hair was one of the several times this movie butchers one of my favorite characters from any comic or movie. The blob is a mutant, always have always will be right, not according to X-men origins, he is just fat. But the worst crime this film committed is giving the merc with the mouth no mouth. I'm done here!

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

This movie is hated on. A lot. Whether it's a character they completely ruined in the end, or the constant jump cuts that are around every corner, it's not a pleasant movie. That all being said, does this movie deserve as harsh a rap as it gets? Mostly.Let's start with the positives. This movie has enjoyment in it. Some of the fight scenes are awesome to watch, especially the one in the end. The movie has some witty dialogue and some arrow-in-the-heart emotion near the beginning. The casting was done well. Hugh Jackman is obviously going to own the role of Wolverine, and Liev Schreiber just owned Victor. Lynn Collins didn't really show that much emotion, though, but she's the exception of the cast.Unfortunately, this movie made a lot of mistakes. For one, it's jump cuts the movie. There's so.... many.... jump cuts. The intro to the movie with the opening credits has more jump cuts than I could count. It's like the new Taken movies. It's distracting and hurt the fluidity of the fights. Secondly, the suspension of disbelief that you'll need to get through it. Some of these characters do a lot of stupid things, especially Stryker. Hint: If there's a mutant in your base of operations, maybe you should.... do something about it?!? And who knew making somebody invincible meant it was hard to take them down? People could go all day about how much they ruined Wade Wilson, but I don't really want to waste my time and say what has already been said many times.The story itself is ridiculously simple. The trailer of the movie sums up the whole story, one minor plot twist notwithstanding. It does leave a lot of brevity, as it makes this movie a great popcorn flick to sit back, turn off your mind, and relax. It's kind of muddled as this movie really wants you to take it seriously, but that can easily be ignored as the action scenes.... don't take it seriously. At the opposite spectrum, there are details that will ruin this movie for those looking at it as it fits in the X-Men series. There's a bunch of continuity mishaps in this movie, retcons included.As someone who likes action movies a lot if they can sell it well, this movie definitely checked some of my boxes. They do a good job of attaching you to Wolverine in the first half, even if they don't do as good a job with the other characters. But this is a movie about Wolverine, so Wolverine is the spotlight. Even if the end of the movie felt way more like an X-Men movie with its attempts at trying to work with the continuity and falling flat.Overall, should you give this a shot? Probably not. It's a forgettable movie that doesn't have enough enjoyment to warrant a watch. At the very least you could pirate it to see how it goes. "Hey that's illegal man". Don't care, don't give them money for this movie. Enjoy it for free and laugh at the studio.Rating: C-

'We're going to make you indestructible - but first, we're gonna have to destroy you.' Gavin Hood directs this 2009 cinematic version of the origins (read 'explanation') or the X-Men series of comic book heroes based on a screenplay by David Benioff ('Game of Thrones' etc) and Skip Woods ('Hitman', 'Swordfish', 'The A Team' etc). The team manages to pull of the credibility-testing feat with aplomb – just the right amount of humanistic emphasis on the early ears of Wolverine and a flair for the impossible feats and countless deaths of the latter half of this film. It is a look at Wolverine's early life, in particular his time with the government squad Team X and the impact it will have on his later years.Leading up to the events of X-Men, 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. Two mutant brothers, Logan (Hugh Jackman) who will become Wolverine of the retractable claws and Victor (Liev Schreiber), born 200 years ago, suffer childhood trauma and have only each other to depend on. Basically, they're fighters and killers, living from war to war through U.S. history. In modern times, a U.S. colonel, Stryker (Danny Huston), recruits them and other mutants as commandos. Logan quits and becomes a logger, falling in love with a local teacher (Lynn Collins). When Logan refuses to rejoin Stryker's crew, the colonel sends the murderous Victor. Logan now wants revenge. Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe (Ryan Reynolds, Taylor Kitsch, Dominic Monaghan, Daniel Henney, et al) whose appearances in the film series have long been anticipated.The first half of the film is sensitive and humanistic (Ryan Reynolds manages to insert his expected spot-on one liners to keep the story light) – the second half is pure CGI tricks (though according to the featurettes Hugh Jackman performed all his own choreographic fights). Better than expected and a really fascinating cast!
