X-Men Origins: Wolverine


Plot: Tells the story of how Wolverine came to get his adamantium skeleton.
Review: The first origins movie for the X-Men franchise and Hugh Jackman's 4th time as Wolverine, this movie is fairly decent. In my opinion, X-Men would have been better starting off the franchise with this movie, rather than make it be the 4th movie. But it is decent to watch, has some good action and some funny parts. Hugh Jackman is awesome as Wolverine as usual, Liev Schreiber plays Victor Creed, Wolverine's brother who is also known as Sabretooth. I was a bit skeptical of Schreiber as Creed, but he was probably one of the highlights of the movie. Another highlight was the introduction of fan favourite X-Man Gambit. Taylor Kitsch was pretty good as the card player, but it was for a brief time. This is a pretty good origins story, and if you are a fan of the series I definitely recommend this movie!
