Perfectly adorable

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

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.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

What did the filmmakers think when they created this mess of a film? It's supposedly a prequel to the X-Men franchise centered around Wolverine but X-Men Origins is changing everything there was before (or what will be after). Somehow Liev Schreibers Sabretooth becomes Wolverines brother - and they share a (hands down) kinda cool opening sequence in which they go through the different warfields in time to show us that they're both immortal. But then we get a boring Gambit, a team of throwaway mutants and poor Ryan Reynolds as a guy who is called Deadpool but has nothing in common with him. This film has some little nice ideas in it but the execution is horrible from start to finish.

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.

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!
