Review of X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) by Logan R — 04 Jun 2016

Even though most of the dialogue consisted of grunts, shouts, screams, and yelling one cannot deny that this film will keep you on the edge of your seat at least 85% of the time. While not being a particularly smart or challenging film to watch most characters are entertaining and action sequences are thoroughly enjoyable.

Unfortunately some opportunities for wish-fulfillingly cool moments are missed and special effects become inconsistent at times but Liev Schreiber's performance as Sabretooth had audiences legitimately terrified of the character and he served as an excellent antagonist during the film despite being replaced by another later on.

Everyone seems unanimously in agreement that the butchering of the Deadpool character was damn near heart-breaking for fans of the iconic mercenary. Hugh Jackman's portrayal of the Wolverine is satisfyingly entertaining as usual and Ryan Reynolds made people believe he was Wade Wilson but not Deadpool regrettably.

Some scenes aren't as well paced as others but definitely need to remain for expositional reasons. Overall the film is far from perfect but is absolutely entertaining and deserves a Blu-Ray purchase.
