X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

Director: Gavin Hood
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber & Ryan Reynolds

 For those not in the know, this is a prequel of the X-Men trilogy that tells the story of Wolverine. It spends some a little on his past and how he's been alive for a very very long time, but spends most of the time telling his involvement with the Weapon X project. This is how he got the adamantium welded to his bones.

 I don't want to give too much away. I know this is a movie everyone has been looking forward to. It's definitely worth your $10. Liev Schreiber makes a great Sabretooth, unlike Tyler Mane who played him in the first movie. It tells a lot, but leaves you wishing it had more. Leaves room for a sequel obviously.

 My only real problem with the film is there was not enough Deadpool. C'mon!!! We want the merc with the mouth!!! Ryan Reynolds was great to pla him, but he only had like 3 speaking lines!!! What the fuck were they thinking??? When they finally gave him the powers his mouth was wired shut. Dumb.

 All in all though, you will not be let down. Go ahead and spend you dough. Oh, and as with most Marvel movies, make sure you stick around after the credits roll.

Verdict: * * * *
