X-Men Origins: Wolverine Review

Overall Rating

I saw X-men Origins Wolverine last night, and enjoyed it. It's not an "oh wow how brilliant this has changed my life" film, but it's great escapism a nice length, a goodish story - and it helps if you are an X-Men fan and know the rest of the story. None of it is believable but come on, it's X-men. Hugh Jackman reprises his role as the fairly hot but hairy Wolverine and we learn all about how he came to be. Stryker features heavily in the film and we learn a lot about his experiments on mutants - there is a blink and you'll miss it cameo by Patrick Stewart at the end (which one suspects was green-screened in). The special effects are also pretty good. Like i said, not going to change your life, but a fun film to go and see, temporarily suspend reality and get caught up in the X-men Origins.
