Review from A22Q6ZW1PQR412 at Amazon.co.uk submitted on 2010-03-09
If you like the X-Men series you will love this. Plenty of action and shows the darkerside of Wolverine.
It does leave the door open for a second film and I was left wondering what happens to his brother.

I have seen the movie before. I was very disappointed of the quality of this movie when I watched it however as the first half of the movie was very jumpy and hard to watch

I was ecstatic when I heard they were finally bringing out an X-Men movie with Gambit and Deadpool in it, these two are perhaps my favourite characters in the X-Men franchise. When I heard this film was a prequel, I was concerned but still had high hopes but when I saw it at the cinema, I was beyond disappointment.
Wolverine's past had been alluded to in the brilliant X-Men 2, giving hints that Wolverine was a man who had done sinister things with Stryker before losing his memories and to be honest, I think that's the way it should have stayed. Instead, they decided to bring out a film which was pointless from the beginning because you already know how it's going to end, and despite the fact that it's an origin story for Wolverine, they put as many famous mutants from the X-Men comics into this film and leaves them all underdeveloped and uninspired. This film never needed to be made, especially when they could have made a film set after X-Men 3: The Last Stand, which I thought was a poor effort as well, but Origins is far worse.
Gambit and Deadpool aren't given anywhere near enough screen time, Gambit is played well by Taylor Kitsch, and could have been a great character if given more screen time though there are differences from the original comic character. Deadpool however was the worst affected by the writers of this film, when I heard Ryan Reynolds was playing him, I couldn't think of anyone better to play a psychopathic, sadistic, wise cracking mercenary, and Reynolds was brilliant... for the FIVE MINUTES that he's in the film. When he becomes Deadpool however, there is NOTHING in common with the comic version of Deadpool other than the name. They turned Deadpool, the fourth wall breaking merc-with-a-mouth, into a mute plot device that had more powers than Superman and it's no wonder the Deadpool spinoff is being rebooted with a completely different origin.
There are good things about this film however, mainly Hugh Jackman's acting but it's not enough to make this film worth your time. Most kids who are just into popcorn movies will probably like it, but if you like the X-Men comics or Brian Singer's work with the first two X-Men films and hated The Last Stand, this probably won't be for you, because it is worse than The Last Stand.
