Popcorn Fun For Casual Fans

Rating: 9/10 (27 May 2009)

This was intended to be an emotionally gripping journey through Wolverine's past history, through the decades; centuries; from the angst of pre-pubescent man-cub-hood; through sibling bonding, rivalry, and the reunification which often occurs in healthy adults.
It fails in that it lacks the emotionality for which it strives, and then drops the ball in its demonstration of his progression through the ages. Too much is missing, too much is glossed over, too much is simply left lying in the annals of Untold Story. Some time is devoted to character development, but as an Origins story, I have to say that this sadly lacked in the area of origins of the lead character.
I won't go on and on as some others have. Suffice it to say that if you're a casual fan, you'll find more to love than avid fans will find. I enjoyed it, but on a purely popcorn level.
It rates an 8.6/10 from...
