X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Wolverine…
I have to say after the first X-Men movie I wasn’t really thrilled. I had no prior knowledge of the comic book series or the storyline which is okay. My belief is that a movie needs to be able to stand on it’s own regardless of the series number or sequel. INDEPENDENT. That being said I watched the second and third and I think my favorite is either number 2 or 3—I liked the blue hairy guy Dr. Henry ‘Hank’ McCoy / Beast played by Kelsey Grammer. The X-Men franchise has been growing on me steadily with each sequel.
Not knowing the back story, personally, I needed more information to give the movie more umph! Or just start the series in a logical order—which, in a sense, breaks my belief of the need to stand on it’s own.
Well, this latest iteration—the BACKSTORY on Logan / Wolverine let’s us in on all that background I’ve been jonsing and I really enjoyed it! Hugh Jackman is Wolverine/Logan and again rocks the part!
I liked the storyline, I liked the characters, I liked the violence, and I liked the girl… Kayla Silverfox
I’m wondering if they could make any of the other characters origin story as interesting (I know they’ll try!)—after all they did introduce a bunch of the other characters from the previous X-Men movies which made this movie fun and interesting.
Hugh Jackman is hot, Lynn Collins is hot in the movie (having trouble finding her hot off screen though), the story is hot, how can you go wrong…
