The film's strengths lie with the performances of Jackman, Schreiber, and a solid turn from Lynn Collins as Kayla Silverfox.

A gratuitous fight with The Blob, a completely unnecessary role for Gambit, and a random appearance by Professor X and Scott Summers, really? It really feels like the director, Gavin Hood, was forced to include several unnecessary mutants and cameos that were so far removed from the overall plot. However, this only consists of 15 minutes or so of the film, and it only adds to confusing direction of this film. Under the command of William Stryker, Logan and Victor fought on Team X (similar to X-Force), with the help of The Blob, Kestrel, Bolt, and none other than Deadpool. Logan and Victor went through many wars and battles together, but they weren't always the only ones with special abilities taking on bad guys. Oh, how I wish the film kept the focus on them. No matter, Schreiber brings a calm but vicious presence, similar to Jackman's Wolverine, which makes him the perfect antagonist. Ironically, I don't think he's called anything besides Victor Creed in the film. I know it was controversial to make him and Wolverine brothers, but I dug it. A whole lot better than whatever the heck that version of Sabretooth we got in the first X-Men, anyway. I love me some Liev Schreiber and he absolutely kills it as Sabretooth. This was another movie that nearly killed the franchise.īefore I get to the bad, and there's a lot of bad, let's talk about the good. Hugh Jackman is one of the finest actors of our generation, and is quite good in the film, but he got stuck with a mess of a movie. Particularly, I forgot just how unfortunately mishandled X-Men Origins: Wolverine was. Rating: PG-13 (Some Partial Nudity|Intense Sequences of Action|Violence)īecause of all the continuity inconsistencies in the X-Men universe, I had forgotten quite a bit. Logan's thirst for revenge propels him into the Weapon X program, where he undergoes a painful procedure to bond his bones with adamantium, making him virtually indestructible and more than a match for Victor. Logan's peaceful existence is shattered when Victor Creed (Liev Schreiber), his vicious brother, brutally murders Kayla. Seeking solace from his dark past, Logan (Hugh Jackman), better known as Wolverine, seems to have found love and contentment with Kayla Silverfox (Lynn Collins).
