Though Hugh Jackman gives his all, he can't help X-Men Origins: Wolverine overcome a cliche-ridden script and familiar narrative.

Joshua Rothkopf Time Out Revenge soon grips Logan when his love is taken away, but Tsotsi director Gavin Hood seems bored by the sibling rivalry; even the Frankensteinian weaponizing of a human body feels rushed. Rated: 2/5 Nov 6, 2018 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times Wolverine starts with a roar before sliding into a chaotic, preachy mess. Nov 6, 2018 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: B- Feb 18, 2012 Full Review Cory Woodroof For the Win (USA Today) It’s hard to really feel any strong emotions toward this film besides apathy, to be honest. Jul 22, 2024 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand It’s violent and cruel and shrouded in darkness, filled with the complicated backstories and the weirdly incestuous origin details from the comic books that [are] confusing and confounding and no substitute for a story.

Audience Member Wildly underrated, if you ask me. While the story is cliche and this film holds the baggage of "Worst Deadpool Ever", the action's still well-shot and fast-paced, the music score is captivating, and Liev Schreiber still has the best on-screen Sabertooth. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review Jae C "I like it but not a lot....I don't like it." - Gru, despicable me 3. This perfectly describes my feelings about this movie. It's just...meh. If you want the true wolverine movie, go watch Logan. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review Muhammed a It was a good movie, it had a lot of boring and unnecessary scenes, but the endings were of very high quality and it was a good movie, the wolverine performance was quite good. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Wendel L Direção: Ok Atuação: Bom Roteiro: Ok Caracterização: Ok Soundtrack: Bom Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/24 Full Review Léonard - Je n'ai pas compris pourquoi les gens ont détesté ce film, je trouve les scènes d'actions vraiment cool, j'aime l'histoire du film, même si le film possède quelques défauts, je trouve l'intrigue vraiment bonne et très cool à rajouter dans le lore des X-men Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Professional D I dont understand why do so many people hate this but I like it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
