Prequels never work, this one did, Just.

Rating: 7/10 (29 May 2009)

To be fair prequels are never ever that good Star Wars episodes 1-3, Hannibal Rising, Exorcist :the beginning, Texas Chainsaw Massacre:The Beginning. They simply don't work.
What i will say about X-Men Wolverine, is that as far as X-Men films go it hits the spot although its not without it flaws.
Hugh Jackman is typical Wolverine his character is exactly the same as in the other 3 films and Liev Schreiber also plays a great part as Sabretooth, along with this the action scenes are pretty amazing and some new mutants included which i will talk about later.
But thats about where it stops I mean how good can you make a prequel when you know the 2 main bad guys are not going to get their comeuppance as both are in X-men and X-men 2, also a major flaw is the amount of mutants in the film that you never see in the entire film (Why would put a character like Ryan Reynolds who is only in 2 scenes, But he is brilliant by the way but totally wasted) Also goes for Dominic Monaghan this who has only about 10 words in the whole film.
How come Wolverine and Sabretooth are brothers all of a sudden as well, and why oh why was Cyclops character included totally unnecessary.
But this film was not made to be clever it was made to rake in big bucks and hopefully give us a thrill ride along the way, which is just manages to do.
I am more looking forward to 2012(as per IMDb) Deadpool spin off (Ryan Reynolds Character) he was the best thing about this film and should have been in this film a lot more than he was.
See it, enjoy it, forget about it.
