X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Hugh Jackman returns for the 4th (1st in chronological order) time as Wolverine. This time in an attempt to explain how he became the way he did. The movie starts out with Logan (Wolverine's name) as a boy, a few hundred years back, with his brother (eventually being Sabretooth, played by Liev Schreiber), and then shows a 15 minute or less, travel through time, since neither of them age. Showing from war to war (revolutionary, civil, world(s)) and how they fought for America. Then it turns to real time where they are part of a secret task force of mutants. Logan no longer wants to be part of that, so he takes off. They spend the time trying to lure him back once finding him, in an attempt to have him go through a process in which he gets an adamantium skeleton. Basically, they cause him hell through the whole ordeal, and he tries to stop them from all the bad things they were doing.

All in all, it was a decent cast (Hugo Weaving Ryan Reynolds, and Will.I.Am included). The story line was a little bit different from the comics, but hey, they had only 2 hours. If you liked the X-Men franchise, you'll love this movie, unless you are sick of it. Which I think most people were split between the two. I think this movie was set to further Ryan Reynolds in another spin off as well, and possibly Liev Schreiber, too. However, I'm not sure either will happen.

The storyline was pretty good, and well presented. The action was a bit unrealistic, and I'm saying this about a movie about mutants, which means something. But it is enjoyable, and you don't have to be a geek to like it.

I rate this movie 7.2 out of 10.
