X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Wolverine Origins

Saw it last Thursday night.

This movie basically tells you the story of how Wolverine came to be. When his powers manifested, how he got the adamantium and how he got screwed over by practically everyone.

It precedes the X-Men movies, and I'm going to say it's more like a first prequel (in case this gets a sequel haha), as the X-Men movies were basically "Wolverine and his pals, The X-Men".

Story/Plot is Full of holes and didn't felt properly paced after the first half of it. The main problem with it is trying to cram too much in just 107 minutes. The opening war montage is pretty cool.

Soundtrack felt... forgettable. I've already forgotten how the main theme sounds like.

The action is cool. Some parts of the special effects look fake though. WTF no blood?! But overall, you can expect some really cool butt kicking moves.

Props to Hugh Jackman and Liev Schreiber who basically carried the whole movie. Ryan Reynolds for stealing the lime light in whichever scene he appeared in. Others are pretty much moving eye candy and not necessarily a bad thing though.

Try to look out for mutant cameos and a surprise guest star.

Final verdict: Slightly disappointed. Wolverine's feral nature felt castrated. Guess this always happens in other media outside of comics. But despite it's weaknesses, it is still an entertaining piece of action film. Eye candy for the women. Action for the dudes.
