X-Men Origins: Wolverine

by | posted: April 30, 2009 6 comments

I went to the theater yesterday to watch what is the first of many blockbusters coming out this summer. Xmen Origins: Wolverine is as big as the biggest film coming out in the next few weeks and I was expecting a lot for for my money.


I was so surprised that Xmen Origins: Wolverine opened two days
before it’s North American release locally

Plot

This movie shows the back story of Wolverine. It starts in the 1850′s with a young Wolverine (Logan) killing his father and running off with his brother Victor (Sabertooth). It continues to tell of how Wolverine lived up until he enters the weapon X program, his quest for revenge after the death of a love interest and then his quest for vengeance intensifies when he is betrayed.

 

 

I’m convinced Sabertooth is a spoilt, love sick older brother who wants
all the attention, oh yeah – he also has claws

I didn’t watch the much the much publicized leaked version of this film and although not great film I think Xmen Origins: Wolverine is a good sci-fi action film that is worth seeing at the theatre. Expect lots of explosions, corny oneliners, fan service, cameo apearances, flashy camera and computer generated tricks.  I don’t want to spoil anything but be sure to let me know what you think after watching this movie via your comments below.

    Watched it on premiere here in SA last night. had to book online in advance as it was selling out fast. I could feel the heightened anticipation in the cinema as it began.

    I loved the early storyline and the sequencing. I however was almost able to predict the whole plot. The action and the stunts are good, and of course the sound effects were crisp and clean.

    I was a bit disappointed at the end, but it is becoming quite normal for movies to all conclude without concluding…I guess always leaving space for the next ‘episode’ in the sequence. I am already predicting how things tie together.

    A must watch in cinema film. I’d give it 7.5 of 10.

    I just went to see it last night… I’m not usually a huge fan of comics turned into movies (the original comics are always the best!), but I was pleasantly surprised with this one.

    Did anyone else think those opening scenes showing all the different wars was epic?

    Well here is another Marvel movies Hollywood style if you have any knowledge of X-Men, mutants on a whole or worst Wolverine you may find this movie kind of or rather annoying. This movie has inaccuracies throughout the entire movie I can only imagine the amount of hardcore Wolverine fans of America who after watching this movie has fully embraced their “right to bare a firearm” act and are now thoroughly searching for the directors of this movie. I got little appeal if any from watching this for me there was no storyline because I came across this plot somewhere in the Marvel Universe and the main issue was not that I know what was possibly coming but it was just its manner of execution they started somethings and never concluded properly if concluded them at all the action scenes were okay I think that’s basically it
