Film Description:

Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe.
Overview:
Well..I saw this last night,and I do have to say that it's a ok movie.as what the Spill Crew said I do have to agree on some stuff. So i saw this opening night,three times dressed as Wolverine,and with so many people at the theater,and it was packed I mean packed. Well you know all the hype about this movie was to me really overrated. Like Watchmen it was overhyped.I did really like it. Considering that this movie is about my favorite comic book character,and one of my favorite comics as a prequel to one of my favorite movie series. One more thing I really wish that Bryan Singer directed this...I mean it really.Gavin hood F*CK YOU!!!
Story:
I have always had a dislikeness to the some 140 different Wolverine origin stories. I think that the one that is based on in this film is the best. it makes the most sense. Now here is basically the story...
In 1845 young Logan (James Howlett) watches his father get murdered by Sabertooth's father. James unleashes his mutant powers and grows bone claws, and kills Sabertooth's father. He later learns that he was his real father. Struck by what happens his mother commits suicide. He runs untill he mets Victor Creed (who are brothers :|) they run off,and years later when they are adults they fight in the American War, Civil War, World War, World war II, and Veitnam. They get caught and are sentenced to death by firing squad. When they don't die from getting shot so many times. They are put in prision to rot. William Styker comes and basically says you are a mutant, you have special abilities that others don't have,and that you should come with me. He treates them like retards (not meant to offend anyone). They go with Stryker,and Logan wants his claws redone and sh*t he gets adimantium claws and goes apesh*t on everyone kills half of the people,and Agent Zero is sent to find him,and kill him. Victor goes mad,and the rest of the film is Wolverine going through stages with other muntants to find Creed and kill him,because of the murder of his wife. On the way he meets Scott Summers, Deadpool,Blob, Will I Am,and Gambit. After losing his memory Logan just goes with what Gambit tells him, and he walks away. The End
Well I think that if they were to make a real Wolverine origins movie then you might as well make the theater a bed and breakfast. With all of the stories I think that this is the one that people will like the best. I mean yuo see a lot of mutants but don't get much of them. Seriously this film is called X MEN ORIGINS WOLVERINE. They should have justcalled it X Men Origins. If you are not going to put only Wolverine's story in it then f*ck it just make a film with all of the mutants. it's ok, but there are a lot of twists which are ASSSS.
Score: 3.2 out of 5
Acting:
I don't have much to say. Hugh Jackman is the best he nails Wolverine no question he's the best in the film period. Liev Schreiber is really good as Sabertooth. at first I was like WTF!?!?! look what they did. But he's acually really good, he's an @$$hole,and a smart@$$,and a nasty nutcase. I don't like the look though why isn't his hair blond like in "X Men" . I thought that he just dyes it blond and forgets to talk. Well Wolverine forgot his life,and Sabertooth forgot to talk hmmm. I think that William Stryker was really good. Better than (I forgot the actor's name) that played him in "X2". Blob was done perfect well done FOX well done there. Will.I.Am was great as Wraith he looks like him anyway. Also he is a great guy for the character. Gambit was great he is a punk who is a smart@$$ and he is a selfcentered jerk which is his character in the comics. He's done perfectly. Now Ryan Rynolds was acually great as Deadpool,but the "Merc with a Mouth" is really redundant he has NO MOUTH for half of the film. As Wade Wilson he's great, as Deadpool he's great he doesn't talk so what's the point. I liked him though everytime he was in a scene I wanted more. I liked everyone really i mjean some people were rushed like Scott Summers he was rushed a lot. They were good but the main man was Hugh Jackman.
Score: 4.5 out of 5
Direction:
Now I will say this BRYAN SINGER COME BACK!! Please I mean the forst two were awesome the third was ok,and this one is a little better than "The Last Stand". Gavin Hood has some episodes of Sargate SG1,but he made the very good film Redention. He could of done much better witth this one. So WHY!?!?!? Why did they gey him??? I mean I don't think Bryan Singer was doing anything at the time so why not bring him back in. Give me a damn break I don't like this Gavin Hood guy.I only liked Redention and this but he really could have put some effort. I think he was in it for the $$$$$$$
Score: 2.5 out of 5
Visuals:
No No No No No. These CGI effects are really not good. The action scenes are good well some of then are great like the helicoptor scene that was sooo coool. The effect were just bad. I mean they look fake. the claws look fake at times. I mean really if claws were made into you'r body and replaced with adamantium thhen why aren't the claws bloody and stuff on his claws when trhey first come out if blows my mind. I don't get it. The action scenes were awesome. I really liked the action between Wolverine and Sabertooth, but the last fight scene between Wolverine Sabertooth and Deadpool which ids like Cyclops, Wolverine,Sabertooth, Wraith, Emma Frost combined when Wade Wilson got ressurected. That looked like a video game level to me, and when his head gets cut of HA that was funny. The scenes with Gambit were really ok considering the cards. The expostions were a little fake,and the mutant powers were just ok. The effects were ok not great the action was good and I liked it.So the rating is what it should get. I think with those redone scenes they screwed up a bit.
Score: 3.6 out of 5
Music:
Not much to say it's good the main theme is really cool. I liked the score. Some scenes it sounds like the score was like "Transformers". Maybe you agree,but it just sounded fimiliar to me. Whatever not much to say it's not that important.
Score: 4.3 out of 5
Problems:
I have multiple problems with this film. Some are
1) Dialouge sucks during some parts
2) Visuals look fake in scenes
3) Story has to much plot twists
4) Bad character development
5) Bullsh*t scenes
Now the last one is really common. There are some scenes that are unneeded.The dialouge was corny. Some characters were like"ok well what do we do". Some of the characters are really there just for sh*ts and giggles.A Lot of them are undeveloped.So I do have problems a lot.
Overall:
Overall this movie is good not so totaly awesome I pissed my pants.It's just as good as I would see it 3 times. I think that if FOX doesn't make a X Men film every couple of years they lose the rights so this is to keep the series alive. I was one of the fans that wanted a movie on Wolverine, and it wasn't what I thought it would be but it's ok. I liked it in a sense,but I don't think it's the best comicbook film. It's one of my favorite films,becaudse all the X Men films are one of my favorite serieses ever. It's probably the 10th greatest or something I don't know,but I liked it not perfect, not great as hell,it's good. So I mean I really wanted to give this a 5 but I give it an

That's What I'm Talking About!
X Men Origins Wolverine
Story: 3.2
Acting: 4.5
Direction: 2.5
Visuals: 3.6
Music: 4.3
Overall: 3.8
Matinee! Low Matinee especially if you saw it 3 times like me
Was it Worth the Hype:
You can say yes or no. For me it would be a so so. I can't make up my mind it's not "Dark Knight" or "X2" or Iron Man. It's X Men Origins Wolverine it's a film on it's own. So you can say no, but I say it was in a way,and it wasn't in a way.
Last Thoughts & Yes or No:
I thought it was good nothing else to say. Do I recommend it Yes I do to all Wolverine fans,X Men fans, comicbook fans, moviegoing fan,or for a good night out.So I liked it yes i recommend it.
Yes or No: Yes see this film
Note: I didn't mention anything about the multiple endins I saw 3 different ones and I'm not going to spoil it for you guys.I don't like doing that.

I just have to let you know the part when Wolverine rode the motorcycle out of the exploding barn made me laugh harder than i have in years. I laughed uncontrollably for about 2 minutes. I even snorted
