  • Something For Everyone: Adrenaline-Inducing Action For The Guys, Hugh Jackman Naked For The Girls

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 3, 2009
    Pros: Acting, Storyline, Special Effects, Fight Scenes (For the ladies...Hugh Jackman Naked).
    Cons: Dialogue Predictable.  Noted Lack Of Blood In Fight Scenes.

    Summary: There is something about mutton-chops on a mutant character that indicates something extra special.  X-Men Origins: Woleverine gives us not one, but two mutton-chopped mutants to enjoy.  Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is joined by his furry ... read more

  • "You’re a Little Heavy." "I Put on Some Weight Recently."

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 15, 2011
    Pros: Action scenes
    Cons: Plot that held them together

    Summary: Somewhere in the distant past, I saw the original X-Men.  Since I've never read comic books, that was my introduction to the characters.  I don't remember much about it, but I wasn't impressed enough to see either sequel.Fast ... read more

  • Pretty Flat, not even saved by Jackman and Schreiber

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 11, 2010
    Pros: Schreiber, Jackman
    Cons: Direction, screenplay, boring, overpopulated

    Summary: Beginning in Canada in the 1840’s with Logan (i.e. the soon-to-be Wolverine) as a sickly kid who is goaded into showing his feral side, forcing him to go on the run with his brother Victor (i.e. the soon-to-be Sabretooth). Gifted with ... read more

  • I Wish I Had Wolverine's Regenerative Traits After Sitting Through This Monstrosity

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 14, 2010
    Pros: Some admittedly good action, Gambit makes an appearance along with other mutants!
    Cons: Preposterous and bad story, acting all around, special effects, treatment of characters, stupid

    Summary: Hugh Jackman's first break was replacing Dougray Scott in the original X-Men film while becoming a household name in recent years with some top notch movies like The Fountain and The Prestige and others like Australia and ... read more

  • *Blu-ray Review* X-Men Origins: Wolverine

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 10, 2010
    Pros: Entertaining (if mindless) fun.
    Cons: Ryan Reynolds' mere appearance leaves an unremovable stain on the whole film.

    Summary: As its title suggests, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is the backstory for Logan a.k.a. Wolverine (Hugh Jackman, reprising the role from the three previous X-Men films), everyone’s favorite stubborn mutant. Beginning with his days as a ... read more

  • More than I expected, and less

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 19, 2009
    Pros: Special effects and more special effects.
    Cons: This is based on a comic book, not on Shakespeare.

    Summary: X-Men Origins: WOLVERINE (2009) is a prequel to the recent X-Men trilogy of films, part of what promises to be a continuing series of "origin" and contemporary X-Men films  (supposedly one about Ian McKellan's Magneto is next).  Again, this is ... read more

  • Ooh! Shiny!

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 12, 2009
    Pros: Action-packed, Sweet special effects, Early views of characters, Liev Schrieber, Gambit
    Cons: Different actors/portrayal of characters from previous XMen movies

    Summary: It's always been my opinion that you can really tell the quality of a movie just by the previews. Awful theatrical trailers that make you look at your friends like, "Seriously?" generally indicate a bad movie ahead. This movie was preceded by trailers ... read more

  • The worst X-Men sequel yet

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 8, 2009
    Pros: If you like Wolverine you'll like the movie, I guess.
    Cons: Confusing interface with the original X-Men movies.  Wolverine character is too powerful.

    Summary: I have seen all the super hero movies.  I enjoy them.  Of all of them, my favorite has been X-Men.  It was interesting.  Acting was above par.  The storyline was very good.  Special effects were excellent.  The movie ... read more

  • X-MEN Fans Will Find WOLVERINE Cl-awesome!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 29, 2009
    Pros: Good comic to film crossover that delivers the goods.
    Cons: Deadpool near the end.

    Summary: Comic book fans are in Heaven right now. Movies are being made left and right based on comic books. Recent releases like WHITEOUT and SURROGATES are both based on comics. And while they're a few years back, the X-MEN movies were always hits. So it's no ... read more

  • Wolverine's Still Got Claws...But They Could Be Sharper.

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 17, 2009
    Pros: Jackman's performance...and muscles; Marvel heroes abound; great special effects.
    Cons: Missing some key elements of the earlier X-Men movies, some jolting recasts.

    Summary: Even though I'm more of a DC Comics geek than a Marvel Comics geek, I loved the first two X-Men movies.  The third had some grievous missteps that still make me grit my teeth, but on the whole, I enjoyed that series.  So when I saw that Hugh ... read more

    Pros: Hugh Jackman Naked! And a good movie surrounding that.

    Pros: Jackman and Schreiber.  Entertaining movie overall.
