X-Men Origins: Wolverine Movie Review

Finally caught the long awaited X-Men Origins. It is a 2009 superhero film based on the fictional Marvel Comics character Wolverine. The film is directed by Gavin Hood and stars Hugh Jackman as the title character. It is a prequel to the X-Men film trilogy and is primarily set roughly ten to fifteen years before the film X-Men.

The film focuses on the violent past of mutant Wolverine and his time with Team X, before Wolverine's skeleton was bonded with the indestructible metal adamantium. The plot also details his early encounters with Colonel William Stryker (Danny Huston), the Weapon X program and Wolverine's interactions with other mutants including his relationship with his half-brother Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber). The film was mostly shot in Australia and New Zealand.

FUGLY. Sabretooth, Wolverine's Brother, look at his nails, good for manicure !

Well I thought the movie was very entertaining, especially to those Wolverine fans who wants to know the history of their superhero. Story plot was good, it didn't rush to the ending and the climax of the movie was how Wolverine became more powerful and got his unbreakble claws. Towards the end, you'll see the rest of the X-men team when they are young, noticeably Cyclops, who is damn blur during his captivity. Overall a good movie and money well-spent !
