X-Men Origins: Wolverine

I really enjoyed the first two X-Men films but thought the third instalment X-Men: The Last Stand was utter pants!

This fourth film in the series is a prequel and as you might guess details the early life of Wolverine and features how he acquired his Adamantium skeleton. It is fairly entertaining but I certainly wouldn't call it a great film. Hugh Jackman is as great as ever and Liev Shreiber is excellent as Sabre Tooth but everyone else is pretty characterless. The whole film although filled with a lot of action feels rather underwhelming and it doesn't feel very original. Maybe better to see on DVD rather than bothering to see it at the cinema.

Rating: 6.75 / 10
