X-Men Origins - Wolverine Reviews

Adequate

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

Straight off the bat: this movie features more shots of muscle-bound men looking up at the camera and yelling "RAAWWWRGH!" than any other I can remember. It's the shoutiest film of the year.

I haven't been this disappointed by a film since the new Indiana Jones.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5

Unfortunately, the special effects vary from impressive to embarrassing, and some additional trimming at the story level might have helped elevate the metallurgical rating to steel status.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

Despite the film's necessarily lengthy exposition, Wolverine's back-story seems thinner and less compelling than the Logan-heavy, previous X-Men films had hinted at.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10

It is not as good as the second X-Men film but it is on par with the first and an improvement over the third.

Entertainingly testosterone-fueled.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

You're going to be really underwhelmed.

Full Review | Original Score: C-

It's just too bad a movie sharp enough to rip through flesh and helicopter blades and nuclear-reactor smokestack walls has to feel so disappointingly dull.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

While Wolverine contains several nice fight scenes and a couple of enjoyable action sequences, one can't help but feel that it thoroughly wastes Jackman.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

You won't be upset you saw it, you'll have some fun, you'll see Wolvie beat the living hell out of a helicopter.

Full Review | Original Score: B-

Reported to be the one thing missing in-part from the leaked workprint, sadly many of the special effects in X-Men Origins: Wolverine are somewhat sub-standard.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

The serious tone established by Bryan Singer in 2000's X-Men is almost completely obliterated, reducing the film to the level of any another by-the-numbers franchise entry.

Hey, it won't win any awards but it does the trick...

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

Packed with claw-shredding action and adventure, the film more or less delivers what it promises. The problem lies with what it promises.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5

It's funny how much I'll forgive just to watch Jackman play this raging mutant again.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10

Though well-choreographed, the action sequences simply don't look as good as one would expect from a tent-pole summer release.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

Hugh Jackman's animal magnetism is palpable in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." He's more sexy than he has ever been in the past X-Men films, and the movie shows him in bizarre bromance relationships with other mutant freaks as well as a very intimate and most

Is there anything to enjoy in X-men Origins: Wolverine? Sure. Some of the fights are cool. But for every solid moment there is an equivalent of pure suck.

Full Review | Original Score: C-

Wolverine is big, dumb fun, a popcorn movie if ever there was one. And it's probably the only movie this summer to feature a superhero whose most dazzling talent seems to be shuffling a deck of cards.
