Not to say that Wolverine is a good film -....Along with the excellent picture and sound on Blu-Ray, it also comes with a copy on DVD and a digital copy for your ipod -....Shame, as Liev Schreiber is a decent character actor....Dominic Monaghan is great but all too brief in his Electro-like appearance..... ...

Wolverine is at least fun, if deeply flawed....From the faintest ambient noise to the implosion of a nuclear reactor, Wolverine's lossless audio never disappoints.....is not the strongest mutant film available....The infamous young Storm scene shown in advertisements and the Japanese bar scene alternate ending are two of four scenes included.....it is a fair amount of fun with Hugh Jackman playing the role of the animalistic mutant with a burdensome conscious to perfection..... ...

both Craig and Jackman are solid stage actors.....Playwright Keith Huff must have studied an awful lot of police dramas on TV.... ... Full Review

Overall, it's not a great film....Disregard the online fanboy rants that will tell you X-Men Origins....the special effects and the film's finale leave a little to be desired, for the most part Wolverine is actually quite fun.....is some kind of awful piece of cinema.....Luckily, the characters are fun.... ...

'Wolverine,' 'Easy Virtue,' 'Next Day Air....lets viewers know how Wolverine developed his persistent memory problem.....," a picture with a reasonably good premise but poor execution.....the project would have been a lot more fun....Some of the action sequences are very impressive.... ...

The problem with X-Men Origins....Director Gavin Hood ( Tsotsi , Rendition ) does a competent enough job of staging the action....the film's stubbornly linear and episodic script requires more sleight of hand than he is able to muster..... ... Full Review

Just Press Play
written in the comic books, has lots of material to draw a coherent and fantastic film from -....The movie may be lacking but the Blu-ray discs are packing.....featured some of the most incredible scenes to ever appear in a superhero film (tell me you're still not giddy about the opening Nightcrawler scene in the White House).....Gavin Hood took the most ridiculous and inferior aspects of Ratner's film....They managed to string together a respectable cast after Hugh Jackman and Liev Schreiber took on the le ...

PopMatters
that's part of X-Men Origins ' charms.....yet X-Men Origins gets condemned for basically attempting the same thing.....no amount of bells and whistles will convince the already angry fanboy to change his mind and embrace this movie.....The previous films had Wolverine suffering from intermittent flashbacks, mere glimpses into what happened to him in Stryker's lab.....aside from the occasionally forced F/X shot (some greenscreen sequences are rather obvious), the movie looks amazing..... ...
