X-men Origins Wolverine review
I've learned that movie adaptations of writing whether it be comic book or written novels must be just that, adapted to fit the format of a full length movie. Things must be altered and rearranged, what really matters is keeping the feeling and heart of the original source material alive, with that said X-men Origins Wolverine is a slap in the face to not only fans of the comics, but fans of the first three movies that made the franchise so popular.
Story:
This movie seemed more of cliff notes of the story of wolverine more then an adaptation, with brief glimpses of every aspect of his life, this included 5 minutes of his childhood, a couple of minutes of his military history (which was a cool sequence) during the opening credits. He then worked for the organization for half a mission and was part of weapon x for even less time, seems that wolverine is the best at what he does, and what he does isnt really explained in this movie, besides screaming at the heavens and walking away while things explode behind him. This was easily one of the worst bastardizations of great source material.
4/10
Special FX:
for a movie with a budget of $150 million it sure has huge gashes in its armor. From terrible prosthetic bone claws to poorly composite adamantium ones, this seemed like a rushed unrefined job. Besides one exciting scene around the middle of the movie which is seen all over the trailer, the other action sequences were snooze fests and complete cliches out of the Michael Bay playbook. Some of the worst harness and string work I've seen in a very long time.
6/10
Characters/Actors:
One of the most redeeming qualities in this movie was its cast, though very Hollywood, Hugh Jackman still plays a cool wolverine, Liev Schriber as the merciless sabertooth was perfect, also great performances by Danny Huston as William Stryker and Will I Am as wraith. Gambit was very underused but great when he was on screen. As many have already said and I agree is how under used the perfect casting of Ryan Reynolds as deadpool was, he fit the part like a glove too bad the director decided not to wear it.
8.5/10
Overall:
For how terrible this movie was I wasnt too upset, it didnt match up with comics or the previous movies, sub par special fx, and full of cliches, I still had a good laugh, and I recommend seeing it for cheap as a matinee, or just renting it with friends, but really nothing special.
6/10
What i do recommend is reading and picking up is

@trent
I completely forgot about that storm clip that was in the trailer, they just edited that out completely, the part with striker that happened after credits were rolling was so bad, I seriously left with "so thats it" feeling after that

ok quick qestion where the hell was young Storm at in the beginning of the movie when they where in nigeria seeing her there would have made beautiful sence with the thunder and lighting going on while her village was being ravaged, me thinks that this movied suffered from an even worse director than brett ratner.......and what the hell was up with the ending it was'nt climatic and with that ending and the after the credits thing your sitting in the theater saying fuck you to the movie so in the end i should have just saw the thursday night viewing of star trek :..(

Trry & Bob are right. Gavin Hood got bullied, whether he is too proud admit it or not.

@ Daredevil and the Gavin Hood video....
if that was supposed to bring out some sort of sympathy for Gavin Hood, it failed. The movie is still a turd. And fuck him and his comment about Wolverine's costume. Does he realize how boring a wife beater and jeans is? You're making a fucking comic book character into a movie and you think it's ridiculous that he'd wear a super hero costume? That let's me know right there that you don't know what you're doing. DOUCHEBAG!

I have nothing against marvel movies, this is just one of their weakest ones, also that gavin hood video, as a prequel you should really try to match up certain things to the movies that are supposed to occur in the future, I'm talking about the weapon x facility mainly
