What did the filmmakers think when they created this mess of a film? It's supposedly a prequel to the X-Men franchise centered around Wolverine but X-Men Origins is changing everything there was before (or what will be after). Somehow Liev Schreibers Sabretooth becomes Wolverines brother - and they share a (hands down) kinda cool opening sequence in which they go through the different warfields in time to show us that they're both immortal. But then we get a boring Gambit, a team of throwaway mutants and poor Ryan Reynolds as a guy who is called Deadpool but has nothing in common with him. This film has some little nice ideas in it but the execution is horrible from start to finish.

A full deception, ridiculous, with a plot so awful, poor produced, with a special effects that looks like a tv movie, a story of love so borring... resume: nothing works. The time just past and kick more and more this movie, when you have seen the last part: Logan. Everything goes just sadly wrong for this first film. Hugh Jackman is totally lost as Ryan Reynolds.

A spin-off to the original X-Men Trilogy that tries to bring the story of Wolverine from its origins, X- Men Origins: Wolverine is an absolutely bland, boring & brainless example of its genre that's poorly structured, terribly narrated & shoddily performed and is a myriad of cringeworthy special effects, awful dialogues, lifeless characters & dull action.The story of X-Men Origins: Wolverine focuses on Logan's early years and his relationship with his brother which eventually turns sour due to the latter's disregard for human life. The main narrative follows his time with Team X, a squad of mutants working for William Stryker, and the impact it has on his later years when he decides to leave & settle for a quiet life.Directed by Gavin Hood, the film skims through Logan's early years as a kid to his service in many wars along with his brother over the course of US history before slowing down in the modern time, where the main plot surfaces. Hood's direction is lame, as he simply stacks one segment on top of another with no build-up or anything, and leaves it totally hollow from the inside.The action is so over-the-top that it is laughable most times, Visual effects are equally cartoonish, characters don't exhibit an ounce of depth in their arcs, and the story doesn't carry any emotional weight either. The acting from its entire cast is forgettable, for not one actor succeeds in leaving a positive impression in their given roles, and even Hugh Jackman fails to sideline any of its shortcomings.On an overall scale, X-Men Origins: Wolverine commences the spin-off series on a lacklustre note and is one of the worst superhero films in existence. Falling short in all departments of filmmaking, there is nothing in its cliché-ridden screenplay that we haven't seen before plus its 107 minutes of runtime is so tediously handled that it is an ordeal to sit through. To summarise in a sentence, X- Men Origins: Wolverine is as clumsy & unstimulating as origin stories can get.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is so bad? Wolverine is my favorite character and when this movie was announced, we wanted violence as is the character in Hqs, unfortunately it did not, so we did not get to see the real Wolverine in the movie. James '' Logan '' relationship Howlett with his brother Victor Creed is very good, Hugh Jackman does well in the role, but the highlight is even Liev Schreiber as Victor Creed or Sabretooth, even though the film has good moments. Logan's relationship with Silver Fox works a bit, but it leaves a lot to be desired, we have appearances of Other mutants, such as Gambit that is cool, Emma Frost and Cyclops too, Gavin Hood's direction is medium, he hits a few things, more misses a lot more, the script is also very problematic, X- Men Origins: Wolverine does not get to be rubbish like a lot of people talk about it, More that is weak, unfortunately it is. Note 4.3
