| Synopsis:
Heroic Hugh Jackman breathes the fire into Wolverine -- with a vengeance! This pulse-pounding action thriller sinks razor-sharp adamantium claws into the mysterious origins of Logan/Wolverine: his epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed/Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber), and the ominous Weapon X program that unleashes his primal fury. |

 Amazing November 20, 2009
M. Eaves (Oak Harbor, WA USA)
I am a BIG fan of Blu-ray. This is a great movie on Blu-ray. A must.
 A bittersweet aftertaste November 20, 2009
Nestor G. Merlino (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
For some reason, this movie was butchered by critics and, to be honest, it's full of ups and downs that leave audiences with a bittersweet aftertaste. There are incredible scenes that prove almost impossible to be shot, like that of the helicopter, but then, for some reason, high definition shows how poorly finished Wolverine's claws are in that bathroom scene.
I don't think the story is worse than X-men III's, but it's almost impossible not to miss the underlying ideas of the Singer era. There is a second part coming. Hugh Jackman is an excellent actor. Let's hope the second part is a bit more interesting than this one!
ok but not great-rent it November 19, 2009
Jim Molnar (Chicago, IL USA)
OK, it was kind of dumb, and the writers should definitely be crucified until they can answer, and promise to rectify, all the story logic questions posed by other reviewers. But hey, the actors give it a game try, and it does have moments of geekness which partially counterbalance some of the flat-out X-men universe errors. Silverfox and Emma Frost sisters? Deadpool turned into a Weapon 11 and then being offed? How did Sabertooth become the slow galoot shown in X-1 and why do Wolverine's super-senses only work at the scripters' convenience? The Watchmen is the best example of a comic book adaption that didn't get too Hollywoodized. Hopefully someday we'll get an X-Men movie that doesn't prettify the characters beyond recognition to match available movie stars, rewrite the stories to suit the idiotic whims of so-called screenwriters and their puppeteers, and resist the temptation to abandon the human (or mutant) element and just have everything blow up all over the place in the end...
this is where Wolverine got his start November 18, 2009
king beagley (warsaw, in usa)
I really enjoyed this movie. it was a bit odd to see Professor Xavier walking. I thought he would have been in a wheelchair in this movie. it was a bit odd to see Cyclops going to school as a teen and Gambit on here as well. this movie has tons of action. Hugh Jackman reprises his role as Wolverine, who was a Weapon X. it is hard to imagine, through all the X-Men cartoons I watched in my 20's, that Wolverine and Sabretooth grew up as half-brothers. there were some funny parts in this movie, such as Fred "Blob" Dukes boxing with Wolverine, however, eventually, it is the Blob that gets knocked down. I am really surprised that Magneto and Mystique were not in this movie. I recommend this movie to X-Men fans.
Wolverine November 17, 2009
Beverly Finkelstein (Sunrise, FL USA)
It was definitely entertaining, but not as good as some of the previous X-Men movies.
