X-Men - The Legend Of Wolverine (DVD)

...I’ve never really gotten into X-Men properly, because I have always found them to be really lazy about how they got their powers. With Spider-Man, he was bitten by a special spider, and with The Incredible Hulk he was exposed to gamma radiation that unlocked his bestial powers and turned him green. With X-Men, it’s because they were born with it. Sort of reminds me about how bad those Maybelline adverts were with their “Maybe she’s born with it” ...
...So when I heard X-Men Origins : Wolverine was coming out to cinemas with an attempt to explain the back story for Wolverine, I was like ‘Hell yeah!’ I felt as if I was going to jump through the ceiling, shit would go flying out of my ass and I would rocket out through the roof. I had seen the 3 previous X-Men movies so it was interesting to see how this one would tie into Xmen-1. But when I went to see it on the big screen, it was just an action ...

Review of X-Men - The Legend Of Wolverine (DVD)

...I've seen all of the X-men films so far and have a brother who is rather into graphic novels so I did not go in expecting a life-changing cinematic experience. When you go to see a film based on a graphic novel, particularly one that is an origin story so you know where the character winds up eventually, you must make sure that you're in the correct mental space. There are going to be some very cheesy lines. Some of the characters are going to wear ...
...the most popular of the x-men and so was chosen for the first of what they hope will be many origin stories to add to the X-men franchise. Directed by Gavin Hood, the film begins in the 19th century in the wilds of Canada with young wolverine, James, and his brother Victor, who becomes Sabretooth though the name is not used in the film, running away from home after murdering their father. It then quickly pans through the boys growing up and fighting ...

Review of X-Men - The Legend Of Wolverine (DVD)

...I have ever seen - X-Men Origins: Wolverine with Hugh 'been-pumping-the-weights' Jackman taking the lead role as Wolverine. The story line goes back to Wolverine's past giving you an insight into how he discovered his powers and after finding out about his powers, the close relationship he builds with his older brother Victor (Liev Schreiber). After an incident in which Wolverine and his brother find themselves in too deep they run away from home. ...
...has seen the first few X-Men films will be aware of. Stryker takes on the two brothers and puts them with a group of what can only be described as super mutants who Stryker makes believe he is using to help mankind. In the end it gets too much when in Africa Victor tries to carry out terrible crimes on innocent villagers. This is where the story really starts to take shape and sets up the rest of the film in a brother v brother situation as they ...

Review of X-Men - The Legend Of Wolverine (DVD)

So far I have really enjoyed the X Men films and so I couldn't wait to watch the latest offering from the X Men stable. I trotted off to my local cinema as soon as I had the opportunity and here is my review I have tried really hard not to give too much away so as not to spoil the film for anybody who hasn't yet seen it. X Men For those of you who are not familiar with the X men movies, Origins: Wolverine is the 4th movie in the series. X Men was ...
...into cartoon and movie format. The X Men are basically humans who have mutated. Not all the mutations are obvious some mutations are not visable. Unlike the first three movies X Men Origins: Wolverine, goes back into one of the character's pasts, in this case Wolverine, so we can see how he came to be and what shapes him. Wolverine's Story The story begins in 1845. James Howlett's father is killed by his friend Victor's dad, Thomas Logan. Sharp bones ...

Review of X-Men - The Legend Of Wolverine (DVD)

INTRODUCTION The first time I saw the trailer of the movie "X-Men Origins - Wolverine" I was like "Oh my god! I MUST see this!" (happily), but when I did, I was not so excited. I came out of the movie theatre content, but not entirely satisfied. There were both addvantages and disadvantages, but let's not go so swiftly here. Let me tell you a little about the plot. THE PLOT The film starts in atmosphere of the late XIX-th century. Where a little ...
...friend of his, Victor, (a little older than him) attends him. Later his father comes to comfort him, saying that the sickness will pass the next morning, as it always did. In a meanwhile, comes shouting from outside the room and the father departs to see to it. In a while angry shouts are heard and then a gunshot. The little boy jumps out the bed and runs through the door just to see his father laying on the floor shot down and dying. His mother ...

Review of X-Men - The Legend Of Wolverine (DVD)

=== X-Men Origins: Wolverine === When I first heard that they were making an Origins movie all about Wolverine, my first thought was "Really? Why? Didn't they cover essentially everything that they needed to in X-2?". Afterwards, I dismissed this, hoping that they might be able to make a decent movie about essentially nothing. However, after watching this movie, I have to admit that my first instincts were completely correct. '''Basic Plot''' This ...
...Wolverine at the end of X-Men 3 instead of at the beginning of X-Men, but I'm blaming that on the writers. Liev Schreiber makes a great Sabretooth as well, and there are quite a few others in the movie who do a good job with what they're given. It's a shame, really. '''Overall''' Overall, if you haven't seen any of the X-Men movies, don't waste your time with this one, as they do get much better. If you have seen the 3 X-Men movies, then also don't ...

Review of X-Men - The Legend Of Wolverine (DVD)

In X-Men Origins: Wolverine, we go back in time to find out how Wolverine became who he is in the other X-Men films. When James Howlett was only a young boy and first realised he had mutant powers, he ran away from home with his older brother, Victor, who also had powers. Together, they fought in many wars and conquered many people until the day when their powers eventually became known. Major Stryker invites the two mutants into his already powerful ...
...I enjoyed all the other X-Men films and so I was thoroughly looking forward to this new version. I also love Hugh Jackman and his Wolverine character is what brought him to fame. He looks so different in this though from in Australia and by looking at his body you can tell he's had to do a lot of training for the part of Wolverine. He plays the part brilliantly with a mixture of rage at his brother and sensitivity for the people that he cares about. ...

Review of X-Men - The Legend Of Wolverine (DVD)

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is yet another film of the Marvel film franchise. X-Men of course has become popular in film and in Animated series. This film pretty much pushes limits to the top, as this is a fantastic film to start a wolverine series on. In the 19th century, a boy named James is very ill in bed. He is accompanied by his friend, Victor. As his father comes up stairs to see how James is doing, Victor's father bangs on the front door. As ...
...I recommend to any hardcore X-Men fans and those who love action. Basically, the X-Men film series started with us knowing hardly anything about Logan's past, and here we go! The special effects are amazing, and i really hope we can get more from Hugh in the future. Rating: 5/5 This film was released in the USA on 1 May 2009, and in Austraila and United Kingdom on 29 April 2009. ...

Review of X-Men - The Legend Of Wolverine (DVD)

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is suppose to offer an insight into the character of Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) whose amnesia is a source of curiosity through out the previous X-Men films, however instead of offering a compelling story of the man behind the claws we are offered up a film that is brimming with action, one liners and super human powers but lacking any trace of substance that would make it memorable. From the opening scene, which flows like ...
...mention bloody, experience than the X-Men movies before it. Twenty Centaury Fox has clearly spared no expense on the latest technology to fill this film with so many impressive special effects that it almost distracts from the poorly written script. With no lack of fight scenes that escape the world of reality, where even the mere mortal characters seem to be able to defy gravity and everything in sight goes up in an impressive explosion. While this ...

Review of X-Men - The Legend Of Wolverine (DVD)

...he's probably the most popular X-Men character but he's also the character that we already know the most about. Featuring heavily in the film a lot of Wolverines background was already revealed to us during the second instalment of the X-Men films, so to me it would have made a little more sense to choose a character of whose background we know very little or nothing about. I have read the next Origins film will be Magneto, which I believe should ...
...that people had from the X-men trilogy, which it does. But the rest of the films just seems like its there only to fulfil this purpose. Some parts seem rushed and poorly put together. Again I'll touch on the final fight scene, the enemy (I wont ruin this for you again), look absolutely ridiculous. Seriously stupid, and it just ruins the climax of the film which is very disappointing. While overall the film was enjoyable and entertaining, it may ...

Review of X-Men - The Legend Of Wolverine (DVD)

...is a prequel of previous X-Men movies, focusings on one of the main characters, Wolverine. The movie begins with 150 years ago which shows the relationship between Logan/Wolverine and Victor, mutant half-brothers who are forced to run away from home after Logan murders their biological father. Then the next couple scenes shows them running, kind of running through time. They fight in various wars in history and by the end of the Vietname war, they ...
...first X-men movie. I think overall this is quite a good prequel with fantastic actions and special effects and I enjoy it very much. It is also a good intro to some of the main characters such as Cyclops, Professor X. A must-see to complete the X-Men series. ...
