2.5/4  Rusty Claws
A highly entertaining movie with Hugh Jackman doing the character he does so perfectly. Also, there is some worthy proformances from Ryan Renolds and Liev Schriber. The direction by Gavin Hood is stylish in some parts but is bogged down b... (read full)

2/4  Wolverine
The question that comes to my mind is why? We already learned everything we needed to know about Wolverine in the three X-Men movies that were made before this “origin” story and there’s no need to flesh it out anymore. Of course, I can an... (read full)

3/4  A Good Way to Start Summer Blockbuster
Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is the first in line to get his own spin-off from the highly popular “X-Men” franchise. Though I must admit that it could have been a lot stronger, I was entertained for more than half of the time so I’m ultimately... (read full)

3/4  Wolverine pretty much rules
I have always wondered why Wolverine is considered so bad ass, it just seems like he can heal and has claws, but that there are many so much more powerful than him. This movie helps show why he is special and does so with some kick ass act... (read full)

3/4  Almost a really good movie
Its almost good enough to make you forget X-Men 3. Almost..not quite
My guy who was very much into the cartoons did gripe about some of the inaccuracies, but as some one who only really knows them from the movies I enjoyed it. Not as goo... (read full)

2.5/4  X-Men Origins: Wolverine Quick Review
Better than i expected. Jackman is crazy ripped. Love Schreiber as sabertooth. Solid B

2/4  X-Men Origins: Wolverine Quick Review
Worth watching just for the cool action scenes... and that's all. On an anticipation scale of big summer blockbusters, it lands in between dissapointing and fullfilling.

3/4  X-Men Origins: Wolverine Quick Review
Not quite as good as some of the previous X-men movies, but very enjoyable. Wolverine is awesome and everyone should watch it to know his back story.

Another X-Men movie? Yes please! Who doesn't love Wolverine?

5/5 Origin of Wolverine: well done
  by Khalid Alnaqbi (Toronto, Canada)
I liked this movie, which as you know, sinks down to the origin of Wolverine. It also shed some light on the origin of Storm and Scott. This 2-disk special edition has a digital copy for your iPod or iPhone, if you're a fan of those. Great special features. Waiting for more on the origins of other mutants.

1/5 Insulting...
  by Movie Lover (Seoul, South Korea)
If there's one thing I hate, it's eye candy, something thrown up on the screen for its own sake and no deeper meaning to it at all. This is just such a film. This movie's plot is an insult to anyone over the age of 3 and the characters often act in ways that are completely contradictory to what was previously established. This is primarily true of Wolverine (sorry Hugh) but also of Gambit. I couldn't wait for this thing to end, much like Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Single-Disc Edition), another attack on thinking people everywhere. Unless you're a hardcore fan of X-Men or Hugh Jackman, avoid this like the plague.

5/5 Greatest X-men movie yet!!
  by L. Dancy (Meridian, MS USA)
Despite all the mixed reviews about this movie, I still went out and purchased this movie. This is the best X-men movie yet, possibly the best comic book adaptation next to Transformers. It told the entire story of Wolverine and how he came to lose his memory which reflected in the original trilogy movies. I really loved this movie with its great characters but I was a little disappointed that Jean Grey was not shown but overall great movie.

5/5 Great Action!
  by Bambi Love
I saw this movie twice in the theater and was thrilled each time. I couldn't wait for this movie to come out on DVD! The action scenes are really good, and the actor that plays Sabretooth was perfect! I don't think that there will be much disappointment in this movie if you watch it for what it is and not try to compare it too precisely to the comic book series.

5/5 Wonderful Escapist Fare
  by Bobo (USA)
It's not just that this movie is more filled with eye-popping effects and thrilling action sequences than the trilogy, though that's true. Rather, it's that there's a whole story here. Wolverine starts fast, and springboards from the long-running Marvel Comics series in breath-taking ways. It's a multi-faceted tale with an emotional richness seldom associated with the phrase "summer movie." For good reason, we equate summer movies with empty, flash-bang exercises in computer-generated imagery and mindless action. But the writers here are as interested in the subtext as they are in the high quality action. There's no denying that mutant super-powers drive this film. This is what state-of-the-art special effects look like: the live-action version of the way comic books appear in your mind. That would be irrelevant, however, without a good story. The movie delivers enough story and skillfully weaves together character, plot and action. This movie and the action is just plain spectacular.

One of the great things about this film is that virtually no screen time is spent on background character development. Like with last year's Incredible Hulk, the opening credits serve as a cool update and feeder for a basic origin. Even the newer characters that are introduced get very little time devoted to their past and it all works quite well. People in general are smart and can read between the lines, thus negating the necessity for cumbersome background information. Apparently the director figured this out and doesn't "talk down" to his audience even though it's an action film. The pace flows smoothly, with hardly a stutter along the way to break up the story or the action. That's the key. As good as X2 was, Wolverine simply has better action without sacrificing the heart or character development or the emotion that made this franchise the juggernaut that it has turned out to be.

This movie stands on its own, as its own Wolverine. People who've never seen any of the other movies can go and see it and enjoy it. I saw it with two people that have never seen any X-Men stuff and they loved it. One of the year's best. It's A complete movie that flows so very well.
