May 1, 2009The most entertaining & emotional of the "X-Men" film series. Thrilling, action-packed and suprisingly heartbreaking
-
June 26, 2009An utterly exhilerating and adreniline-pumping edge of your seat action-packed extravaganza. It cuts through the origins of the character nicely in a well-crafted and superbly performend film. A brilliant, riveting and powerful film. A tremendouse, spectacular and absolutely unfo... ...( read more )

June 25, 2009the entire film worked incredibly well for me until the final act, which fell so flat that it left me feeling that the film as a whole lacked the direction that seemed to build well in the first two thirds of the movie. it wasnt just one or two things, but rather the entirety of... ...( read more )

June 23, 2009While the effects were great, adding new dimensions to the different mutant powers and the actors brought their characters to life, it was difficult to get into the movie because there were so many new mutants. Granted, a lot of the story rightfully focused on Logan (Wolverine) ... ...( read more )

June 21, 2009Once again sporting an excellent cast and elaborately-staged and digitized action sequences, the latest installment of the X-Men franchise might have been a strong entry in the superhero genre five years ago, but it's a disappointingly mediocre film by today's standards. Clichés ... ...( read more )

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 feral superhero is back, and maybe even better. 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. -

Im sure its exteremly frustrating for the filmaking industry but, they just wanna get rich, if the movies good internet buzz should help sell the movie. Yah u can download it if you look hard enough but, is it really worth it if youre a big fan? wouldnt u rather see it on the big screen with surround sound?
anyway I dont really care that people who have seen it are saying its not that great or whatever. Im a huge fan of Wolverine so, theres no doubt im going to see it.
I'll end up liking it regardless if it sucks. I mean its a major motion picture with a huge budget how bad could it be?
