The most entertaining & emotional of the "X-Men" film series. Thrilling, action-packed and suprisingly heartbreaking
Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Ryan Reynolds
Wolverine lives a mutant life, seeks revenge against Victor Creed (who will later become Sabertooth) for the death of his girlfriend, and ultimately ends up going through the mutant Weapon X program.

October 6, 2009Enjoyable action movie and decent addition to the Xmen franchise but could and should have been a lot better.

October 4, 2009The best X-men to date! Jackman and Schreiber are fantastic, the supporting cast rocks the mutant world while keeping a truly human look, the script, direction and action are all spot on. The back story on Wolverine lets you see the passion that rules Logan and this film defini...( read more)

November 22, 2009Great film. I've actually only seen bits and pieces of the other X-Men films because I really had no interest in them but my boyfriend begged for me to go to the theatres with him to see this so I did. It actually turned out to be great. Now we own it on DVD and we will be wat...( read more)

November 22, 2009Thought it was good, great action scenes...but the plot (and everything else) was a little forced. But I love cheesy movies, so overall I enjoyed it.

Those movies where people get sent to an island somewhere, then discover that everyone's a clone, or a reactor is melting down? Imagine all of that happening at once, only everybody is indestructible. full review

Hugh Jackman's action-filled spinoff delivers on the brawn but not the soul of the "X-Men" franchise that spawned it. full review

A transparent attempt to squeeze a faltering franchise for its last drop of box-office juice. full review

The problem with Wolverine isn't that the mythology is detailed and potentially confusing. The bigger issue is that "Wolverine" is so uninvolving that you might not care whether you remember what happ... full review

The direction, by Gavin Hood is a case study in mismanagement: of anger, rage, demonic howls that grow into howlers, Olympian camera angles and, above all else, the mismanagement of an unusually perso... full review

A crude blunderbuss of a superhero movie, X-Men Origins: Wolverine proves that the greatest supervillains confronting Marvel Comics' shape-shifters, lycanthropes and mind-readers are clumsy directors ... full review

Perhaps this was the wrong X-Man to command an entire movie. Somebody find Jackman a role in which he gets to smile, and wake me up when Ian McKellen's back to terrorizing the X-world. full review

April 17, 2009I read all about the Wolverine movie getting spoiled. Thats really no surprise to me. It happened way back in 2003 with the 1st Hulk film, although they found the guy who uploaded it and busted him, he went to jail I beleive.
You would think that people would get the message, but this happens all the time, and I dont see any signs of it stopping. Now some guy at fox new supposedly lost his job cause he watched an unlicensed release and wrote a review.
The Internet community is just going to pirate whatever they can get their hands on, so if its leaked its fair game to them. How did it get leaked? who knows but are the viewers really responsible? No. Therefore should not be held liable, as long as there not distributing.
