Finally, the origins of Marvel's most famous mutant, Wolverine

Rating: 7/10 (1 October 2016)

Finally comes to the big screen the film that explains the origins of Marvel's most famous mutant, Wolverine. Despite the very origins of the character as has been said, some "liberties" were taken unnecessary in this adaptation that can bother the most ardent fans. The film begins in 1845, showing the boys James Logan and Victor Creed, who sealed a pact of friendship and that would always be together. Then comes one of the best openings of recent years and one of the few writers that actually make the viewer think a bit to have the skills to realize the two boys as mutants through several wars throughout the history of mankind serving their country. Ali realized their skills when they are targeted by bullets in the Civil War, the World Wars, and regenerating rapidly and also showing the differences in behavior of the two. The opening is very well edited, well directed with phenomenal transitions from war to another, magnificently displayed, and the soundtrack is also great and pure adrenaline.
Interestingly showing Wolverine's mysterious past with the revelation of the true character name, your entry to the "Weapon X program" and the experiment that is submitted, we find that he is actually a character centenary due to slow aging, as had been suspected in the first X-Men movie, where Jena Grey commented that it could be even older than Professor Xavier and would be unable to determine its true age. The part of "Alpha Flight" was omitted but the fact that he was helped by a couple who helped again to behave as a human was maintained and snapped in the plot. It is important in this network also his "marriage" to one of his loves, Kayla Silverfox, the "Silver Fox" and relation of two living in a cabin in a remote community in Canada, and shows including Sabretooth relationship with her and Logan, though his accelerated healing factor of comics was replaced in the film by the ability to control the minds of the people it touches, because the story presented. The main elements and events related to the origin of Wolverine were placed in the film, but with some adjustments, some required and others not Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber and Danny Huston and the beautiful Lynn Collins are even great highlights. Jackson once again proves that no one better than him to play Wolverine. Every movie and here he excels more than the other side can explore a greater animal character.
This plot has good action scenes and they are the trump card of the film, as the fight scene in the midst of bike chase by helicopter, the scene with skid grip is amazing, following the death of the living room mansion with the plan sequence early in the film, the insertion of the body metal Logan, the fight scenes between Wolverine and Deadpool and between Wolverine and Sabretooth especially in the final scenes. Some characters from the character's origin was indispensable in the film as William Stryker and Sabretooth, but the film seems to suffer the same error of X-Men-The Last Stand which shows an excess endless mutants. Gambit and Deadpool interesting villain could be better exploited. Scott Summers, Cyclops, appears still young, and even uses his powers recently discovered, but it is there only to please the fans, as well as their participation is unnecessary, as well as the presence of John Wraith, Dukes and Bradley. Since the focus here is on Wolverine, this excess of other mutants is an error in the script.
Incidentally, the script by David Benioff and Skip Woods is simple and tries to hold a strong pace and clog the screen stunt at the expense of a deeper story, more elaborate and even more obscure. This could also be better worked but the concern was to create an action movie, and just action. The final sequence that goes on top of a plant that ends up being destroyed, but gives an impression of artificiality that scene, especially when Deadpool falls and the rays will "slicing" where they are. The fall of the characters from above as if they had sprung from a skateboard was also pretty hard to swallow, but you can accept that scenes "forced" is not lacking in the plot. The makeup helps in some scenes but in others is really bad in makeup as the character Fred Dukes. Good special effects are even better quality, editing Nicolas De Toth and Megan Gill and soundtrack by Harry Gregson-Williams (The Chronicles of Narnia-The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)), which although repetitive work well in key scenes with the opening credits.
Gavin Hood could explore a darker film with a plot and better developed. He used violence but rather to maintain censorship hardly uses low blood scene. Many people say that the excess characters left confused film. Excess hampered the development issue, but not on your understanding. With a budget of $ 150 million, Hood delivered a conventional movie, full of clichés of the genre action and phrases, without adding much to the genre. Your goal here was basically trying to create memorable scenes action. It's a good action movie, which explains much of the main character but in most skilled hands could present a result even grander. Anyway, movie popcorn first! Oh, and tip: do not miss an extra scene after the end credits.
