X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)


At first I was a little confused from the beginning because I don't remember Logan being alive for as long as he has. According to the movie Victor A.K.A Sabertooth and Logan A.K.A. Wolverine are brothers and they fought in every major war since the civil war and on. It's not until Victor starts losing his cool that he and Logan are imprisoned for Victor losing his cool. They are then recruited by a man named Striker to do his dirty deeds. Hugh Jackman (X-Men) and Liev Schreiber (Defiance) join up with another group of mutants Played by Ryan Reynolds (Adventureland) as Dead Pool, Will i Am (Black Eye Peas) as John Wraith, Kevin Durand (Smokin Aces) as Frank Dukes, Daniel Henney (First American Role) as Agent Zero, and Dominic Monaghan (Lord Of The Rings) as Bradley. They go on a mission for striker who is played by Danny Huston (30 Days Of Night) and everything is going fine on a treasure hunt he leads them on until Logan decides enough is enough. Logan leaves and tries to live a normal life until Victor starts killing off mutants and goes after Logan's wife. This sets off Logan and this is where you see how Logan was created with the metal blades instead of the bone like ones he possess in the beginning. We start to find out that there is a deeper, more sinister meaning in what Striker is doing? You'll have to rent it to find out. I was very impressed with Will i Am's performance in this movie as well as Taylor Kitsch (The Covenant) who plays one of my favorite X-Men characters Remy LeBeau A.K.A. Gambit. He was the guy I liked the most in the movie and wished there was more of him in this movie. I have high hopes for the next installment of this movie. The movie also features the young X-Men crew that we all grew to love in the first three installments in this movie like Storm, Cyclops, and Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) himself makes an appearance. This is by far my favorite X-Men movie. Four Stars Out Of Five
