Wolervine a Nice Start to the Summer!

Rating: 9/10 (4 May 2009)

I don't agree with any of the criticisms of other reviews about this movie on this page. I've been comic fan of Wolverine since pretty much the beginning. This was before he had ever made it to screen. I was very concerned about this movie when I seen the first trailer because it looked like they were going to try and put several different story lines together (Origins, Weapon X, Wolverine). That is a lot of material to cover in only one hour and forty minutes. After watching the movie I can say I enjoyed it greatly and think they did a good job trying to get the main points of the different story lines while trying to give the audience a basic look at the Wolverine characters origin. They did change things from the comic books but I think it worked out. Hugh Jackman and Live Schreiber literally make the characters Wolverine and Victor (Sabretooth) come right out of the comic books and come to life! I loved this rivalry for years in comics and finally got to see a good interpretation after the sad Sabretooth in the X-Men movie. I only wish I could have gotten more of it. I can't write to much more without giving away a lot of the movie. I'm sorry but I don't care if Deadpool and Gambit didn't get a lot of screen play in this movie. This is the Wolverine Origin and not the Gambit or Deadpool movies. If I can get over Wolverine not being 5'4'' then I don't care if Gambit doesn't have a strong Cajun accent because he did in some cartoon. Overall I'm really glad I seen this movie. I will be buying it when it comes out on DVD.
