Will develop a backstory who had seen only in flashbacks enigmatic X-Men and X2: X-Men United, X-Men Origins: Wolverine explores the days before Logan (Hugh Jackman) joined the X-Men. He records the mid-century youth and sibling rivalry 19th with his half-brother Victor Creed (Liev Schreiber), Wolverine Logan tables and chronic Victor as mercenaries fighting in every American war from the civil war in Vietnam, which gives them an outlet from prison by Colonel William Stryker (Danny Huston). And this is only the first 10 minutes.
Stryker Logan and Victor enlists to serve in group X, your top secret covert operations unit consisting of mutant Wade "Deadpool" Wilson (Ryan Reynolds), teleporter John Wraith (Will.i.am), pin Bradley (Dominic Monaghan), and Fred J. Dukes, who later became the straw (Kevin Durand). When the activities of the group X be too horrible and morally dubious for him, Logan - always called "Jimmy" by Victor - team, a move that upset his brother off to no end is closed. Flash forward a few years and Logan lives in rustic tranquility Kayla Silverfox with his girlfriend (Silver Fox in comics) in Canada, where an honest salary as a secretary before.When the old members of the group X are beginning to be killed off, Stryker Logan pieces warn. But things are more than they seem - is not it always? - Wolverine and brought back to the corral to hunt his brother after the attacks Victor Kayla. Accepting that Stryker used as a guinea pig in order to gain an advantage over Victor, Logan adamantium skeleton and claws are given. With the help of a Wraith and New Orleans cardshark / nickname mutant Gambit (Taylor Kitsch), Wolverine takes the fight with his enemies, who discovers what is really Stryker.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine is not the train wreck that many expected. No, not just passable entertainment, undone by the same factors that afflict many other major type releases: the misdirection of action, sloppy storytelling, and stimulation breath sacrifices character development to rush to the next large set of parts. It is even better in many respects than the X-Men: The final decision, but it does not say much, right? History, especially near the end, try to be smarter with twists of what should be or can handle (though, to be fair with writers David Benioff and Skip Woods, who simply take their cues from the comics); Sometimes a simple western revenge is quite good.
Director Gavin Hood, a director whose forces are no dramas action movies, it seems out of his depth here. interference study has long been blamed for this, but at the end of the day is your name in the credits. The trend in recent years has been to hire managers who are not of the action (eg, Christopher Nolan, Ang Lee, Jon Favreau) to direct comic book movies. Even better than the filmmakers, however, still can not call the direct action of force. Many of the fight scenes here abuse wire work, a technique that had been tired since X2: X-Men United tactics. The great set pieces, hunting / motorcycle widely seen in trailers and TV ads helicopter is the most inconsistent; the quality of the visual effects in this sequence varies only from the cold in bad Sci Fi channel. A more effective range is escalating battle between Wolverine, Sabretooth and Deadpool. In general, however, the caliber of fight scenes are not much better than those seen in Twilight, another film by a more suitable director helming the action drama.
Concern that have many fans that the movie will be overcrowded with characters turns out to be justified. Although not as bad management and X-Men: The Last Stand or Batman and Robin, Wolverine shoehorns mutations too many secondary characters arbitrarily included (eg Blob) for no other apparent reason than selling games, or create spin -off movies. Take Deadpool and Gambit. While Reynolds is perfectly fine as a merc with a mouth Wade Wilson, who is not in the film enough to be a show stealer or even truly memorable. I can not imagine that there is a strong public demand after seeing this film to see more adventures with Deadpool, which is a shame considering how dedicated Reynolds has the character long. Gambit Taylor Kitsch is initially interpreted as Doc Holliday mutant, a smart approach, unfortunately, disappears almost as quickly as southern accent. As for the rest, the two characters seem to be screwed out to become part of the movie X-Men »schedule, since the scenes taking place in the 1970s and 80s.
Huston minimizes fine William Stryker, even when loaded with melodramatic dialogue and the position of the nose as to be ridiculous. Schreiber as Sabretooth is useful, but the story gives a poor grunts dimensional play which will convert his mustache, if you had one. Lynn Collins as Kayla fine, but his character is never implemented in reality. But this film, obviously, belongs to Jackman, who is in almost every scene and, ultimately, the only reason the movie works to any degree. Although there is nothing we have not seen Jackman doing for the past nine years, this Logan least gets back edge after becoming wayward father figure in X-Men 3.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine does not like to take it or hate it kind of movie. She has its moments, but it is a story from-the-numbers that will leave an ambivalent feeling about it and the prospect of future films X-Men. Maybe a (good or evil) more extreme reaction would have suggested a more interesting movie
