Review of X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) by Agentz — 11 Jan 2019

This movie was awful. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is one of the worst Marvel movies and superhero movies ever. This movie is trash. This movie was awful. I really hate this movie. This movie should at least have a 35% Metascore and a 3.

8 User Score. The plot is lacking. They **** up Wolverine's origin story. How could the writers screw up Wolverine's backstory? Wolverine and Sabertooth are brothers in this film! They're not supposed to be brothers! They were never brothers in the comics! They were never related to each other in the comics! The first scene where James and Victor are kids, they never got to explain who and why that strange man was pretending to be his father or why his real father never took him in custody.

Many questions left unanswered. So later James and Victor both run away from home and years later they become adults and are fighting in wars like the American Civil War, World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War.

Tyler Mane (who played Sabretooth in X-Men) should've reprised his role as Sabretooth/Victor Creed in this movie. They should not have recast Sabretooth. After the Vietnam War, Logan and Victor both have their hands tied behind a pole, how and why did they let those other soldiers tie them to those poles and let them shoot them for like 10 hours or whatever (as mentioned later when they were in prison)? William Stryker comes to visit Logan and Victor in prison to recruit them to his special team of mutant mercenaries called Team X (even though that name was never mentioned in the movie, only in the comics).

They're in an airplane with Team X flying to Lagos, Nigeria. We're introduced to Team X. The only good thing about that boring airplane scene was Ryan Reynolds as the wise-cracking mercenary, Wade Wilson.

So when they're in Lagos, Nigeria, Agent Zero and Wade Wilson are the only badass mutants their. Victor was climbing on top of a building doing nothing. When Wade stabbed two Nigerian soldiers with his swords, there wasn't any blood on them.

That was just bad editing. Stryker asks the bad Nigerian businessman where he got the rock from. He told him that he got it from a village three days from where they are. So later Team X goes to the village and Stryker interrogates one of the villagers there into telling them where the precious rock came from.

He tells them it came from the sky, but Stryker wants to know more in detail where he found it. The villager just then tells them that it's sacred. Then Stryker orders Team X to kill them all, so Victor murders that villager by snapping his neck and Agent Zero shoots at them.

Logan tries stopping them from killing all of them. So Logan then quits and leaves the team. That's the last time we ever see Team X all working together in the movie. Team X was such a huge disappointment in this movie.

Team X's relationship with each other was severely underdeveloped. Hugely missed opportunity. 6 years later we see Logan in Canada with his girlfriend, Kayla Silverfox. One night she tells him a love story about a wolverine who was in love with the moon.

Sounds ridiculous, right? Anyways, that's where Logan later got his nickname from. He got his nickname from a cheesy love story. The next day, Kayla is driving back home from work, but Victor stands in front of her menacingly while she is in the car in middle of the road.

She stops the car when she sees him. Victor menacingly walks towards her and scrapes the front of the car with his claws. While Logan was working in the woods as a lumberjack chopping down trees for a living to earn money, he smells his brother Victor's scent nearby like about a mile away.

He runs towards the scent as fast as possible and sees Kayla's car and notices Victor's claw scratch markings on it. He runs in the woods and finds a head of a decapitated wolverine (which obviously meant that Sabretooth decapitated a wolverine).

He finally finds Kayla's dead body on the ground. He expresses his devastation by screaming out loud. Later at night, he goes to a bar to seek vengeance on his brother Victor for murdering his girlfriend.

Logan gets defeated by Victor. That fight was underwhelming. It was too short and the lack of blood was very unsatisfying. This movie should've been rated R for blood and gore. It was a huge mistake to make this movie PG-13.

So the next day, Logan is taken to a hospital after being injured in the fight. By the time he was on the coma, he already healed because of his regeneration ability. Stryker shows up and offers Logan a way to defeat Victor.

He tells him that the experiment will be the most painful experience in his life. So Logan follows Stryker to the Weapon X facility. He lays in the Adamantium tank, but there are huge continuity errors.

... The Adamantium tank in his flashbacks in X-Men and X-Men 2 was filled with green water. And the Weapon X facility was straight up pitch black and very dark inside which made it look scary and sinister.

The rest of the movie is unwatchable garbage.
