"Gifts can be returned."

Despite what some people are saying, I found this movie to be completly awesome! This movie definatly gave me a rush from beginning to end. I know it may have messed up a few elemets to the 'x-men' legacy but this movie was still great. I mean, if you get passed all of the mess-ups from the comics and the story, you'll find that this movie is actually very cool and fun to watch. So, in my opinon, I do say go and see "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" because I think it is something that some will find this movie good and just damn fun to watch! Hugh Jackman has played Logan, aka, Wolverine four times since the year 2000 and he is the only person to ever play a comic book character more than three times other than Chris Reeve and the four classic Superman movies. Who knows, Hugh Jackman may just play Wolverine again one of these days. I sort of hope so. He does a good job playing him. So, I;ll say it again, in my opinon, I think "X-men Origins: Wolverine" is a movie to see.

PLOT: [SPOILERS]

This movie is about the past of Logan, aka, Wolverine and the "X-men Origins" thing is actually supposed to be a series over the next few years. The next one is supposed to be "X-Men Origins: Magneto", but I have no idea when that is supposed to come or even if it started filming yet. Check on IMDB [Internet Movie Data Base] if you are interested in finding out, though. The movie is about Logan and Victor, aka, Sabertooth. They are brothers who fight in at least three wars together and one day make a deal with Striker and after doing an assignment with him, the brothers drift apart. Seven years later, the past comes back when Victor murders Logans new love interest Kayla, aka, Silverfox. The movie is pretty much about Striker going after Logan and Logan going after Victor. I don't want to spoil a lot, so I think you should go see this movie to find out. So, the plot is pretty much the origins of Logan, AKA, Wolverine. The movie has a good plot and I am happy that a movie was made about this. So, don't expect a bad plot because the plot in this is highly interesting.

ACTING:

Does "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" have bad acting? No! Does Hugh Jackman ever do bad in a movie? Come on, answer this question, what movie is bad with Hugh Jackman? NONE! "The Prestige" was amazing, "Australia" was amazing, "The Fountain" was good, "X-Men" series was pretty much good! I mean, c'mon, all Hugh Jackman movies are good. He always does what he can to make a great performence. He never dissapoints me so he didn't do bad at all in this movie. Hugh Jackman may just be one of the best in the buisness right now. Ryan Renolds was in this movie playing Wade, aka, Deadpool. I thought Ryan was the perfect choice for Deadpool because he is supposed to be the smartass type so he was chosen perfectly. It is too bad that he wasn't in enough of this movie. The actor who plays Victor, aka, Sabertooth [FORGOT HIS NAME, SORRY] does a good, creepy, and yet, funny job in this movie. Ah, every performence in this movie was good for pete sake!

DIRECTING:

The directing in this movie was good but I did think a couple shots looked a little weird in this movie but I only subtracted half a star because of that. So, other than that, the direction in the movie was fine.

VISUALS:

The visuals in this movie were great! This had awesome visuals and they had me enjoying the whole entire movie so don't expect bad visuals from "X Men Origins: Wolverine".

THE GOOD OF THE MOVIE:

The movie keeps you very interested with all the action and suspensful moments. Plus, all the comedy keeps you with a smile on your face.

THE BAD OF THE MOVIE:

The movie messes up a few elemets but that didn't bother me that much.

OVERALL:

Overall, a fun and action-packed film! It has cool visuals and funny moments to keep you laughing at a few points. The movie is interesting and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. This is definatly Hugh Jackman's best movie as Wolverine.
