X-Men Origins: Wolverine...or is that Wolverine the Origin that isn't really the original origin, but the new origin that wasn't that great.

Rating: 3/10 (1 May 2009)

OK, so I'll start by saying that I am not by any means all knowledgeable about everything to do with X-Men and the many various branching story lines that have been done over the years.
(SPOILER ALERT) However, I did grow up with the cartoon and learned a few things about the Wolverine character from various places. (the original idea of what the character was anyway) having said that, I can wholeheartedly state that I hate the bone Bone Claws idea, from what I recall, Wolverine's only mutant power was regeneration, the adamantium claws being implanted as part of the weapon x program, along with the full skeletal admanatium implant. From what I've learned after seeing the movie is that the story of Wolverine was changed a few years ago, to give him claws as part of his original mutant powers...and I really disagree with that storyline...however...I was willing to let that slide...as it is a comic book movie, and directors and writers have the really hard job of deciding what elements from the multiple story lines to use and to disregard...
having said that...I would have been fine with Bone Claws...had the rest of the film been worthwhile, but all we seem to get is, wolverine looking angry...someone dying...wolverine looking angry someone dying and so on...then comes Stryker...probably one of the worst casting mistakes ever, why was Brian Cox not in this? plus the laughable line "I'll make you indestructible" then after doing so, and Wolverine escaping "hunt him down...and take off his head" WTF? you just made him indestructible...how in the hell is anyone going to take his head off? it's not like anyone made an admanatium samurai sword...oh wait...you did make an adamantium amnesia bullet...
then there is Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds is a breath of fresh air for the tiny amount time that he's on screen, even when his mouth is melded shut...and as many people before me have said...he ends up looking like Baraka from Mortal Kombat towards the end...
and I don't even think I can say anything about Gambit without completely going off subject...just what in the hell is going on in this film? I know it it's meant to be a Wolverine origin...but it seems to be more about Sabretooth than anything else, and he hasn't been handled that greatly either...I'm not even sure if this can be called a review...as I'm not even sure if it makes any sense...I'm just typing away here letting my thoughts spill out on to the screen...sorry if I've wasted your time...but I just had to post my thoughts here.
