A deliberately bad car !

Rating: Null/10 (13 December 2011)

The opening credits sequence of this movie is clever. Painful to know that it was the first and last clever thing around.
First things first; we have 2 brothers. Everyone of them is half human, half wolf and immortal. So how come is that? What is the significance of the first scene? What it did say about the relationships of the 2 brothers, their mother and their father?! After that dull scene, let the party of dullness begin!
The movie enjoys presenting characters, just to kill them off 2 scenes after. For little instance, the old man and his wife from the farm are about to speak then PAAM PAAM! For bigger instance, the movie's long list of now-there then-where superheroes. Given that we're in a superhero movie, where you go to have a good time with characters that have supernatural powers, then this is more like what the disappointing superhero movie is all about!
The main characters didn't have better fate either. Stryker is deprived of any magic as an evil man. Look at the way he appears out of the blue, in every scene, to have a laugh (the weirdest one is the one at Scott's school). To have even louder laugh, see him ordering one of his henchmen to kill Wolverine, right after he made him totally indestructible. Not only this, he didn't hand over that killer Wolverine's sole destroyer: the Adamantium bullets! Furthermore, Stryker's son is mentioned, however nothing is really said about him, or his daddy's tragedy with him, so everyone who didn't watch (X-Men 2 - 2003) will never understand ANYTHING!
Unfortunately, the idiot points are plenty. And it's lamentable of course for any movie, but as for an X-Men movie, it's super lamentable. For instance: if the point was faking the death of Logan's wife, dragging him to the lap, injecting him with Adamantium, then erasing his memory, so why not erasing his memory FROM THE VERY START?!!! If one bullet of Adamantium can kill Wolverine, why unleashing the Frankenstein-ish Weapon X on him first?! If, again, one bullet of Adamantium can kill Wolverine, how come that 5 of them only confused his memories?!
Generally, that third act is unforgettably idiot chain of events: The whole surprise of the wife being alive, and having a sister, was melodramatic, forced and superfluous. That wife's revenge out of Stryker is so funny; pushing him to walk till his foots bleed, knowing that we're in a small island already! From where did Professor X know about the mutants? And isn't his short appearance is recycled, obviously, from his first encounter with Wolverine from (X-Men), with the same dialogue of "I can read your mind" yet spoken to Scott this time?!! Then, Logan's wife has a supernatural power, and he didn't notice?! Wolverine climbs the giant cooling tower to escape from Weapon X?! Apparently how stupid Wolverine, rather all the movie, is exactly!
Hugh Jackman looks pretty angry in every shot (naturally, since he must have read that script!). He was so serious in a load of nonsense, which is ironic and sad. To add more irony and sadness, I knew lately that he produced it too! Liev Schreiber can't be his character. They needed someone with Jack Nickelson evil touch, not a shadow of that. Danny Huston as Stryker doesn't hold a candle to the great, first Stryker, Brian Cox; who was actually interested in reprising his role from (X-Men 2), but Huston was just cheaper! The rest, as you must have watched, were pure cameos.
David Benioff and Skip Woods wrote it. Rarely when they make something I love, or in other words: don't HATE! Simply the first wrote before (Troy - 2004), and (Stay - 2005), and the second alone wrote (Swordfish - 2001) and (Hitman - 2007). As you see, they are both masters of fatuous, yet noisy enough, masterpieces (should I say bombs better?!). Save the surprise of Victor Creed as someone who works for Stryker, I can't find one worthy-defending point in their script. That script made the movie uncreative and lost. It uses pages of stories that we don't know, fills itself with stupidities, then makes a third act of tacky B movie, with kind of loose endings to allow a possible sequel; which's a foolish ambition considering the case.
Director Gavin Hood makes average action with always long shot to embody a catchy moment. But the editing couldn't join his work in beautiful way, just snappy unfair pace as if it's a trailer, plus the not too huge budget was there. So, eventually, I was watching a chopped off and poor imitation of (X-Men) movies. Therefore, it can't be compared to the series' previous movies, maybe to a movie like (Elektra - 2005), where it even loses to the coherence of (Elektra)!
(X-Men Origins: Wolverine) is murdered by rushed script and directing; which became a usual crime in Hollywood of today. Humphrey Bogart said once: "The industry hurts itself by making so many lousy movies, as if General Motors deliberately put out a bad car." Well, here's one for you!
