X-Men Origins: Wolverine is an upcoming superhero film based on the fictional Marvel Comics character Wolverine that will be released in most countries by May 1, 2009. The film is directed by Gavin Hood and stars Hugh Jackman as the title character. It is a prequel to the X-Men film trilogy, focusing on the mutant Wolverine and his time with Team X, before Wolverine’s skeleton was bonded with the indestructible metal adamantium. The film was mostly shot in Australia and New Zealand.
Set roughly twenty years before X-Men, the film will focus on Wolverine’s violent past,[1] and his early encounters with William Stryker (Danny Huston). The Weapon X program and his interactions with other mutants will be explored,[2] including his relationship with his half-brother Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber).
I saw it last night and thought it was freaking awsesome!!!
before I saw it I wasn’t sure what to expect. If it was like X-men 4 (with a different name) or a prequel to the X-men stories. And it turned out to be a prequel.
But does this mean that there will also be X-men origins: Cyclops, Storm, etc. ??
Anyways, the movie is geared with a lot of action and cool effects. I freaking loved ever minute of it.
It was also cool to see the other characters of the “X-men” story that you don’t see in the other movie, e.g. Gambit.
I also thought Ryan Reynolds character had pretty cool powers
