X-Men Origins: Wolverine (DVD) Reviews

I found this movie enjoyable and Hugh Jackman puts in a good performance as the title character Wolverine. The back story of him and his brother are well shot especially the war flashback scenes - overall the special effects are very well done and not over the top. The film focuses on their brotherly relationship somewhat and how they ...  Read the complete review

I always felt that superhero movies, like video-game adaptations, are cursed to inevitable failure. Although X-men Origins does not suffer of this as much as films like, say, the Hulk or Catwoman, it still reeks of damnation, pretty much confirming me in my belief that marvel comics simply don't belong on the big screen. X-men ...  Read the complete review

X-men is a story of people, across the world, who are born with mutated chromosomes which give them superhuman abilities. These mutants are often feared and hated by people and communitied, however some of these mutants have joined forces and become the X-Men. In the first 3 films we learn parts of the story of one of the X-men, Wolverine but the ...  Read the complete review

OK so Im not into comic books and I dont know the in's and outs of Marvel, as such I give a review as a film fan only. I loved all three of the X Men movies but wasn't too excited when I heard about the Origin's idea, how silly of me! I LOVED this film. As the title suggests this is about where Wolverine comes from and his ...  Read the complete review

This film is a very good watch, it gives the audience and fans of the x men series a back door into Wolverines darkened past and how he came to wield his silvery blades and what happened to him before the first film. The film is set before the first film, it shows moments through time important Wolverine and how he became the mysterious ...  Read the complete review

This is a follow on from the Xmen franchise and sold itself as a much needed vehicle to examine the origins of the character played by Hugh Jackman. In the film we see a more vulnerable Wolverine prior to his fusing with Adamantium, and he is eventually through circumstances seemingly beyond his control led into sacrificing himself toa power mad ...  Read the complete review

Comic book fans have been treated to a host of movie adaptations featuring their favorite characters in recent months and possibly the most anticipated of these was X-men Origins: Wolverine. The story charters the early life of Logan and gives the viewer insight into how a man with extraordinary abilities turns from man, to beast ...  Read the complete review

Don't you just just want to be like Wolverine? This questions is mainly aimed at the guys out there. He's hard, invincible, has super recovery powers and cool side burns, not to mention his cigar smoking and bladed knuckles. This is the opinion I had of him before watching the film. I grew up watching the cartoons, and I've seen all the X men ...  Read the complete review

Director Gavin Hoods 2009 film, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, was always a movie I'd end up watching. Being a big comic book fan myself, and the character of Wolverine being a particular favourite of mine it was only natural to take interest in this latest visualisation. Wolverine is the spin off feature film for the character of the same ...  Read the complete review

This is the 4th X-men film and primarily deals with the evoloution of Wolverine, played very well by Hugh Jackman [ big muscles and scowls a lot], the story follows Wolverine and his half brother Victor through the American civil war, both world wars and Vietnam. After a slight altercation with their superior officer [ Victor ...  Read the complete review

The film was a nice introduction to the character Wolverine. I liked the storyline, as it allowed for a lot of action and therefore the film does not "die" on you. Also it made sense, which meant that you could then watch the first X-men film and the transition would go smoothly. The acting was of a good standard for the film. ...  Read the complete review

My fascination with the X men stems from the days when I used to rush out to buy the latest edition of the Marvel comics. This movie was therefore, a bit of a let down for me and in spite of the action within the movie it failed to be as memorable and exciting as its predecessors. I have watched the previous film versions of X Men on ...  Read the complete review

Honestly, I will admit to being a huge Hugh Jackman fan, and this film did not fail on that account. Thoughtout this film, his skills as an actor did him justice in a somewhat pleasing film. Compared to the preceeding x-men films, I would not count this as the best for enticing its audience. It did have some spectacular scenes and great ...  Read the complete review

I have followed the first three X-men films and to be honest, compared with the 2nd and the 3rd, the first X-men has more depth with the inner struggle of the characters, which I think is the most luring part of the whole story. The next two films with their slightly over-excessive special effects, however, overshadows its psychological potential ...  Read the complete review

I've never really been a fan of sci-fi action films but x-men origins: wolverine has changed my thinking completely. The emotive story line and constant thrill from the action scenes means the film is suitable for people of all ages and genre preferences. The storyline consists of a biographic style of wolverines life. ...  Read the complete review

After the third x men film another in the series would be pushing it a little bit especially as the third one wasn't the best. With this film they explain the story of Logan (Wolverine) which was left to our imaginations in the original series with only snippets of his story being shown. This film mainly caters for the comic book ...  Read the complete review

Mainstream pg13 film is what this is. Ok you go to the cinema to watch this you know its not going to be a Oscar performance or anywhere near but you expect it be atleast action packed thrill ride well of sorts but its not. i do wish there was a more almost dark version of the x mens films, more like watchmen. because this just feels to ...  Read the complete review

I am a big fan of the X-Men films that have been released before this one. I never watched the cartoon or read the comics - being a girl - so was dubious when a friend told me I should watch the first X-Men film a few years back. I ended up watching the first 2 films that night and saw the third at the cinema - I was totally hooked! I was looking ...  Read the complete review

This film logically follows the trilogy of X men movies with a prequel - depicting the creation a the mutant Wolverine (Logan). With the origin of Wolverine comes a host of other, new mutant characters and, of course, some familiar ones. The most prominant 'newcomer' comes in the form of a mutant called Sabertooth who is really the main focus ...  Read the complete review
