AFTER THE DEATH OF HIS GIRLFRIEND, WOLVERINE SEEKD VENGEANCE. Amazon.com: Wolverine, fan favorite of the X-Men universe in both comic books and film, gets his own movie vehicle with X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a tale that reaches way, way back into the hairy mutant's story. Somewhere in the wilds of northwest Canada in the early 1800s, two boys grow up amid violence: half-brothers with very special powers. Eventually they will become the near-indestructible warriors (and victims of a super-secret government program) known as Wolverine and Sabretooth, played respectively by Hugh Jackman (returning to his role) and Liev Schreiber (new to the scene). It helps enormously to have Schreiber, an actor of brawny skills, as the showiest villain; the guy can put genuine menace into a vocal inflection or a shift of the eyes. Danny Huston is the sinister government operative whose experiments keep pullin' Wolverine back in, Lynn Collins is the woman who shares a peaceful Canadian co-existence with our hero when he tries to drop out of the program, and Ryan Reynolds adds needed humor, at least for a while. The fast-paced early reels give an entertaining kick-off to the Wolverine saga, only to slow down when a proper plot must be put together--but isn't that perpetually the problem with origin stories? And despite a cool setting, the grand finale is a little hemmed in by certain plot essentials that must be in place for the sequels, which may be why characters do nonsensical things. So, this one is fun while it lasts, if you're not looking for a masterpiece, or an explanation for Wolverine's facial grooming. --Robert Horton Stills from X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Click for larger image)

![]() Rating: - There is no miss with Hugh JackmanThis movie was unjustly reviewed. I like it. I like the whole series and this is an integral part of the story. That it got thumbs down is good news for us fans because it is reflected in a cheaper price, and you gotta like that. Buy it. Watch it. It's entertaining from start to end. Rating: - not quite up the X-Men standardfor me,this is the worst movie i have seen connected with the X-Men franchise.it's certainly watchable,but it's not up to the X Men standard.i found it slow at times.also,there are some continuity issues regarding this Wolverine and the Wolverine we see in the later X-Men movies as well as with the events themselves and how they play out in the later movies.Hugh Jackman was Fine as Wolverine,as he always has been.Liev Schrieber is good as Victor Creed.and i really liked Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool.i ...

I don't understand why people don't like this movie. It's a billion times better than that disgrace x3 and I even like it better than the over rated x2! I hear all these complaints about "how they made sabertooth wolverine's brother." Man when was the last time you read the comic, 1989?! In the book "origin" wolverine kills his own father just like in the beginning and while in the comic they don't say it out loud that he's his father, the guy he kills looks just like ... Read More Rating: - Wow. And I thought The Last Stand was bad.I wish I could rate this a negative percent, but the 2009 summer movie season started out with such a magnificent hastily polished turd. The story is completely inane and full of holes and gaps of logic, which would be okay if the characterization or action pieces were interesting or entertaining but those are extremely poor. The special effects look like cardboard cut outs flying around digital explosions. Most of the time CGI is used when a practical effect would have been wholly more effective, ...
