Description of X-Men Origins: Wolverine:
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

X-Men Origins: Wolverine Reviews:
Better than I expected 
2009-11-09 - This movie was very good... I expected an OK movie. Now I wish I'd gone to the movies to see it.
Disappointing movie 
2009-11-08 - The storyline is a bit lacking. I am a big fun of the xmen movie series and so my expectations for this movie was very high. I had a hard time following the plot of the movie. However, the special effects were great
Great movie 
2009-11-08 - What a terrific movie! And the Blue-Ray adds that extra touch to make it that much more like the movie theater!! Oh, and that Hugh Jackman..... Need I say more???

2009-11-07 - When i first saw that this movie was coming out, i didnt have high hopes for it at all. i thought they were gunna ruin it like they do w/ other series of movies. but i was completely wrong, and gladly take back my negative thoughts of it.
i was blown away w/ this movie. it definitely gave the element of surprise with a few twists and a big give a way near the end.
definitely check it out its worth it!
