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). Logan's peaceful existence is shattered when Victor Creed (Liev Schreiber), his vicious brother, brutally murders Kayla. 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.

Critics Consensus

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

2/5

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.

Wolverine starts with a roar before sliding into a chaotic, preachy mess.

You won't be upset you saw it, you'll have some fun, you'll see Wolvie beat the living hell out of a helicopter.

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.

Even when the hand-to-hand combat looks impressive, the stunts get far-fetched, pushing the special effects to the limit.

A very entertaining movie, but not the best writing.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a guilty pleasure movie that’s still bad, but rewatchable. The visuals are stunning, the action sequences are nonstop action packed and violent. Hugh Jackman as Wolverine is awesome and cool. It is so fun and epic. But now let’s go the negative and the bad elements in this movie. Which is Deadpool, and his mouth shut. The other characters suck. They wasted Gambit so dirty. Story kinda sucked pretty bad. Overall, I give X-Men Origins: Wolverine a 6.5/10 or 3.5/5 stars.

This film was actually pretty impressive, despite critic's reviews, and that adamantium transformation scene.

Simplemente es una película que vale la pena ver. No diré que es la mejor película de todos los tiempos, pero te ayuda a entender al personaje de Wolverine y un poco de los inicios mutantes. En general, Logan suele tener química con todas las mujeres del mundo (menos con Jean Grey), pero especialmente con su interés romántico de esta película. Me gusta mucho la pareja que hacen y nos dan a conocer el origen del nombre Wolverine. La trama y problemática no son las mejores, pero meh, lo desarrollan bien. Aquí se crea una gran problemática porque nos encontramos con Emma Frost, quien después aparecerá en "X-Men: First Class", pero en el pasado y siendo adulta. Muy confuso eso; en general, Fox hizo toda esta saga algo muy pero muy confuso. Amo todo lo que tenga que ver con Wolverine y Hugh Jackman, y esta no es la excepción.

One of my all-time favorite superhero movies! So many memorable moments. Even if you don’t like it, you have to admit that it’s totally iconic.
