X-Men Orgins: Wolverine

Rating: 6/10 (3 May 2009)

**May contain spoilers** A mindless action flick; Nothing more. I am a huge fan of Marvel comics and their movies. This movie is all style. The dialogue is sub par at best and the screenplay is very underwhelming.
The direction was extremely top notch which baffles me because this movie turned out to be mediocre at best.
We follow Wolverine on his journey to become one of the most recognizable faces on the silver screen. From other X-Men movies we know that he doesn't remember the animal he once was. This movie continues to make references to the non existent animal "Logan/James/Wolverine" is and will become. He is mild at best. This movie barely tapped into the core of who Wolverine is and focused mainly on bridging the movies together. The end result is a huge mess with great acting from the leads and a few laughs from underused characters and a great surprise at the end.
I gave this movie a 6/10 because of the technical arts. It's a shame that the story is very lacking. It could of been so much more.
On a side note, the story would of been more serving if they would of stuck with his life in Weapon X which was reduced to a subplot. It seems Fox does this to most of its movies that should be instant classics.
