Wolverine
April 30, 2009
Hugh Jackman reprises the role that made him a superstar - as the fierce fighting machine who possesses amazing healing powers, retractable claws and a primal fury.
X-men Origins: Wolverine tels the story of Wolverine’s especially violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program. Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-men universe whose appearance in the film series have long been anticipated.
Wolverine is exactly what you’d expect it to be (that is if you haven’t got your hopes up about it), action packed, fairly well paced and chock full of mutant cameos, but unfortunately it just ends up being okay.
I really wanted to be blown away by this movie but it was just satisfactory. It tries hard and certainly throws enough set pieces and special effects into the mix but unfortunately it just misses the mark and is only a good comic book movie rather than the awesome movie it should have been.
Rather than blow a load of money on Logan fighting some Humvees and Helicopters they should have spent a bit more time on tightening up the story, give Ryan Reynolds a bit more screen time and crank up the violence from 12-A (or PG-13) to at least 15.
If you like X-men than you’re going to enjoy but unfortunately you won’t be overwhelmed by it.

Now Hollywood has a replacement for the Politian, the OAP, The tax fraud and the cool guy, they have Statham, and more importantly he is British. [Read more]
