Amazon.co.uk Review Wolverine, fan favourite of the X-Men universe in both comic books and film, gets his own movie vehicle with iX-Men Origins: Wolverine/i, a tale that reaches way, way back into the hairy mutant's story. Somewhere in the wilds of northwest Canada in the early 1800s, two boys grow up amid violence: half-brothers with very special powers. Eventually they will become the near-indestructible warriors (and victims of a super-secret government program) known as Wolverine and Sabretooth, played respectively by Hugh Jackman (returning to his role) and Liev Schreiber (new to the scene). It helps enormously to have Schreiber, an actor of brawny skills, as the showiest villain; the guy can put genuine menace into a vocal inflection or a shift of the eyes. Danny Huston is the sinister government operative whose experiments keep pulling Wolverine back in, Lynn Collins is the woman who shares a peaceful Canadian co-existence with our hero when he tries to drop out of the program, and Ryan Reynolds adds needed humour, at least for a while. p/pThe fast-paced early reels give an entertaining kick-off to the Wolverine saga, only to slow down when a proper plot must be put together--but isn't that perpetually the problem with origin stories? And despite a cool setting, the grand finale is a little hemmed in by certain plot essentials that must be in place for the sequels, which may be why characters do nonsensical things. So, this one is fun while it lasts, if you're not looking for a masterpiece, or an explanation for Wolverine's facial grooming. i--Robert Horton, Amazon.com/i p/p span class="h1"strongStills from emX-Men Origins: Wolverine/em (Click for larger image)/strong/span table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="4" width="100%" p/p p/p tbody tr align="center" valign="top" tdimg src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/02/uk-dvd/fox/Wolverine2-small.jpg" / /td p/p tdimg src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/02/uk-dvd/fox/Wolverine1-small.jpg" / /td tdimg src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/02/uk-dvd/fox/Wolverine4-small.jpg" / br //td p/p /tr tr align="center" valign="top" tdimg src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/02/uk-dvd/fox/Wolverine5-small.jpg" //td p/p tdimg height="200" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/02/uk-dvd/fox/Wolverine3-small.jpg" width="300" //td br / p/p /tr /tbody /table /p /div /div

What's going on with these other reviews? July 14, 2009 P M Milnes 11 out of 20 found this review helpful
to be honest, what's wrong with a bit of wolverine kicking butt. these other reviews make it out to be an awful movie, its got a good cast, and the cgi is very good (dont belive what c. mackellen says). if you want a good comic book action movie, then you cant go wrong with this.
usa blu ray September 25, 2009 L. Mccarthy (uk) 4 out of 8 found this review helpful
Got this lastweek imported from america, the blu ray transfer is amazing, the picture sound is among the best out there imo, as a huge fan of all things wolverine/xmen this movie is a massive return to form from the below par X3, the extras are great ofc the digital copy is another great addition. offtopic, Transformers: revenge of the fallen is also gonna be region free, for those that are looking forward to that blu ray.
I think the other reviewers must have seen a different film! September 14, 2009 Ms. R. Gilbert (UK) 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
I saw this film and ADORED IT!! When I saw the advert and the billboards I thought it looks rubbish. My husbands mum decided she would go to see it just because she has a bit of a crush on Hugh Jackman. She loved the film and told me to go see it. I was not a huge fan of the xmen films but i thought they were alright, I would give the xmen films about 3 and a half stars. but i went to see wolverine anyway. I really enjoyed it. Every second of that film was perfection. I have preordered my blu ray copy and i cannot wait for its release its going to look amazing on my new 52 inc tv. I personally feel sorry for those who listen to what some of these reviewers say because if you do listen to these bad reviews you will be missing out on something amazing that you would have really enjoyed.
Its Woverine whats not to like October 20, 2009 Mr. J. W. Ward (Manchester England) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am a fan of X-men and Woverine espeacily so when I heard he was getting his own movie I was posativly estatic. This film does not disapoint in the least if you love X-men and Woverine in paticuler then you will love this film, The story is great so is the acting espeacily from hugh jackman and Liv Scriber.
br /
br /You will learn about Woverines past and this leasds up into the original X-men trilogy pervectly, Also the relationship between Woverine and Victor creed was a high point of the film for me If they make another woverine film I hope they keep this relationship going. Not much more to say other than I really hope they do a sequal to this film.
