Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)"X-Men Origins: Wolverine" was a great movie. I am not one to usually review movies, as I'm more of a book buff, but it was so good that I had to comment.
Taking my love of the X-Men comic books series aside, the movie was fantastic. There was a ton of action, many open endings (which can be taken both ways, see below), and so much action was covered. I loved the CGI, though at times it was obvious. His claws were a bit too cartoon-y, and even in the scene of his first lumberjack job, the bulk machines were obviously not really there. Also, in the scene with Gambit in the alley, obviously CGI- but I don't really expect the guy to climb the walls in real life.
Loved the scenes with Hugh Jackman during Stryker's experiment, but thought the director was trying a little too hard to make Wolverine a love-struck sissy boy. I mean, Logan is like Bruce Wayne in Batman. He's hardcore, strong, and revenge-driven. Maybe Batman vs. Wolverine isn't the best description, but... hey, I hope you get my point. Maybe I don't remember the comics as well as I believe I do, but I thought the whole Wolverine vs. Sabertooth was due to the dad killings, not the girl.
I don't remember many of the characters they brought up, like Wolverine's girl- I don't remember her in the comics, but maybe she came up in a later edition that I just haven't read yet? I was thankful that they showed that Wolverine volunteered for Stryker's experiment, as it is true to the comics.
I wish they made the movie longer because it's hard to keep everything straight with years in between while we're waiting on the movie productions. The Blob I would have loved more story on. As well as Gambit. Even Omega Red (? Didn't name him ?) (Weapon XI) would have benefited from a little more of a story. I was disappointed to see it ended just as the next movies began, but I guess that's expected. I wanted more of Cyclops as well.
Liev Schreiber did a great job of protraying Sabertooth. Though he was not the same actor who cameo-ed Sabertooth in X-Men I (or was it X II?), I will accept him as the future Sabertooth.
The movie seemed short, they overused Wolverine's CGI claws a little too much at the beginning, but... overall I was impressed with the story, the acting, and the true-to-the-books plot.
I can't wait for the next origins (I've heard it's Storm next?) and I want more more more of Wolverine's story. He is my favorite character in the comics. I think this is one of the movies that Jackman can get right when it comes to his acting skills. His portrayal of Wolverine (throughout all of the XMen movies) has been stellar, even if it is a bit sappy.
