More Origins

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2009)

Since i was a little kid I've loved Marvel, I always watched X-Men and Spider Man on t.v. I'm only 16 so i was watching it when it was on every Saturday. When I was 7 years old i went to see X-Men directed by Brian Singer who I thought was an amazing director and who really did the movie good were as it could've been down terribly and wrecked the whole Marvel Industry before it really got started.
I really like Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, because he really does look like Wolverine, with the exception of being a bit taller. I always liked how Wolverine (in the movies) wanted to know about his past but Professor X wanted him to find out himself. As well as his love triangle with Jean Grey and Scott Summers(Cyclops). This is my opinion and my knowledge that in the t.v. an comic series Logan(Wolverine) was never a semi father figure to Rouge. I like that story a lot I've just never heard of it. I'm also very glad that they've never made Wolverine wear his Yellow, Black, and Blue spandex. That would've just made the movie weird. I did like the joke that Cyclops made about it in X-men though, were Wolverine complains about the uniforms and Cyclops ask "Would you rather wear Yellow spandex?" I do like the uniforms they get up until The Last Stand. I know it was a tribute to the show or comic series having the colored stripes on them but I really don't think that anyone would ever have a Yellow or Pink stripe on there Suit besides when Bret Ratner makes it that way.
The movie (in my opinion) started kinda slow, but then really took off, it was really fast paced and you had to pay attention because there was a lot you could miss. As far as I knew Wolverine (in the comics and t.v. series didn't have claws until he had the Adamantium in him. But I'm probably way off. Hugh Jackman was amazing. I liked the guy that played Victor Creed, i liked him in CSI to.They should do another prequel movie with him. Origins is really gonna set the bar for more, I know there's a Magneto one in the works if Wolverine gets really good, but maybe they could do more, like Storm, Beast, Night Crawler maybe, but I'd really like to see a Colossus that'd be really cool. Ryan Reynolds wasn't in the movie for very long but he was really good in this, I liked how he was really comical with Stryker in the Elevator.
I didn't like that Stan Lee didn't have a cameo in this, he didn't have one in Ghost Rider, an at least the first Blade either.
The action is really good, and if your not even a big X-men fan, this movie is a just overall really good. It's worth a trip to the movies.
I give this a 8, but I'm gonna see it again so it might change.
