X-Men Origins - Wolverine Review

X MEN ORIGINS - WOLVERINE...


Well this review is a week late.. But what the heck.. I saw Wolverine Origins last week..

Well this movie is a prequel to a long comic book saga, which has three feature films to it's name already. Most us us might have known what to expect from this movie, from a storyline perspective anyway.

How did Wolverine come to be? How the hell did he get those Adamantium claws. Well the movie does address all those details. But is any good?

Well it's good, but it's not great. It's nowhere close to great.The movie picks up from Logan's childhood and chronicles his life with his brother by his side... (Question here by the way.. Is Sabretooth his Brother? Or is it just another Animal like mutant?)

One cool thing about the movie is that it brings in some one of the classic X-Men characters in Gambit, played by Taylor Kitsch brings out the cool card shark who throws flaming cards at you if you piss him off.

If you are an X-Men fan, you will enjoy this movie. You will feel that Logan's life makes more sense, and also all those scenes in the previous movies with short flashbacks of his life start to make sense. Also, the action and special effects are really good as always.

If you don't know anything about X-Men lore, don't bother watching this movie. I really don't think you will enjoy it. Ask my wife.

This is a movie for those who've seen the cartoons, read the comics and always wondered how Wolverine got that way.

All in all I'd say the movie is 3 out of 5...
