Plot: In 1845, Northwest Territories, Canada, young James Howlett, (Troye Sivan) sees his father John Howlett (Peter O'Brien) killed by Victor Creed's father, Thomas Logan (Aaron Jeffery). In an act of vengeance, James kills the elder Logan using bone claws which protrude from his hands. With his dying breath, Logan tells James that he is also his son, while his mother Elizabeth tells him to get out. James and Victor (Michael-James Olsen) then run away. In the following years, adult brothers James (Hugh Jackman) and Victor (Liev Schreiber) are seen fighting together throughout the American Civil War, World War I, World War II, and eventually the Vietnam War. In Vietnam, Victor kills a superior officer after being stopped from raping a girl, and James and Victor are sentenced to death by firing squad, though their unique regenerative abilities keep them alive.
William Stryker (Danny Huston) approaches the two mutants and offers them membership in his elite group of mutants. The team consists of mutants Fred Dukes (Kevin Durand), who's super-strong and invulnerable, John Wraith (will.i.am), who can teleport, Chris Bradley (Dominic Monaghan), who can control machines, as well as expert marksman Agent Zero (Daniel Henney) and martial artist Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds). The brothers join the group, and are sent to the team's first mission: Invade a diamond traffic operation headquarters to retrieve a meteorite used by the leader of the dealers as a paperweight. After retrieving the meteorite (which later on is revealed as the Adamantium source), Stryker sends the team to Lagos, Nigeria to investigate if there are any other meteorites. Logan is disgusted by the murders committed by his teammates and abandons the group.
Six years afterward, James is a logger living with his girlfriend Kayla Silverfox (Lynn Collins). Meanwhile, Victor hunts down and murders Bradley. Stryker locates James, and claims that someone is out to kill members of the now-disbanded team. Stryker asks Wolverine for help, but is refused, then Silverfox is murdered by Victor. Wolverine hunts down his half-brother and is easily defeated. Stryker asks James for help again, and he agrees.
Stryker has Wolverine's skeletal system reinforced with the adamantium, having found the source. After the procedure, Stryker orders his mind to be erased. Wolverine hears this and flees, and Stryker orders Zero to capture him.
The elderly couple Travis Hudson (Max Cullen) and Heather Hudson (Julia Blake) find Wolverine in their barn and provide him a home until the next morning, only to be shot dead by Zero. Wolverine takes out Zero's team and Zero himself, then goes to Las Vegas. Wolverine locates former associates John Wraith and Fred Dukes, seeking to learn the location of Creed and Stryker's new laboratory. Meanwhile, Stryker captures Scott Summers. Wolverine learns the disbanded team had been capturing mutants for Stryker, and one of them, Remy LeBeau (Taylor Kitsch), had escaped the island and knew the location.
Wolverine briefly fights Gambit who mistakes him for being on Victor's side in a New Orleans bar, when Victor shows up and kills Wraith. Wolverine easily defeats Victor, and has Gambit take him to the prison, Three Mile Island. There, Wolverine confronts Stryker and learns Silverfox is still alive. She was keeping track of the mutant to free her own sister, Emma (Tahyna Tozzi), who is also in the prison. Wolverine departs, and Victor emerges, tries to kill Silverfox, but Wolverine attacks him and knocks him out. Silverfox shows Wolverine to the holding cells, and he frees the mutants there among whom are Storm, Toad, Quicksilver, and Cyclops.
Angered, Stryker prematurely orders Weapon XI (Scott Adkins) to be activated, to find and kill Wolverine. The former Wade Wilson has abilities of several of the killed and captured mutants (Cyclops' optic blasts, Wraith's teleportation, and a metal skeleton like Wolverine's and a retractable katana coming out of his forearms) and has been mutilated to have his mouth sealed with a layer of skin and his eyelids pulled back. Wolverine orders the mutants to flee while he fights Deadpool. During the escape, Silverfox is lethally injured. The other mutants, including Cyclops, escape in Professor Xavier's (Patrick Stewart) helicopter.
Meanwhile, Wolverine and Victor, working together, are able to defeat Weapon XI. Victor flees the island afterward, and Gambit returns. Wolverine orders Gambit to ensure the prisoners are safe, while he returns to find Silverfox, who had stayed behind. Wolverine is shot in the head by Stryker with a gun loaded with adamantium bullets, which knock him unconscious and cause amnesia.
Silverfox uses her powers of persuasion to order Stryker to walk away, then dies from her injuries. Gambit then returns to give the news to Wolverine that the mutants are safe, but due to the amnesia Wolverine does not remember anything. Gambit tries to get Wolverine to come with him, but he declines. They part ways, fleeing the scene seperately as the ambulances and police arrive.The mutant known as Wolverine breaks off into his off spin-off film from the successful X-MEN! franchise. Hugh Jackman (X1, X2, Van Helsing) returns as Logan/ Wolverine-A mutant with regenerative powers, three claws on each hand and a skeleton all laced with the rare metal known as adamantium. Logan struggles to find the secrets to his past. After learning little information through the help of Charles Xavier (X2’s Patrick Stewart), Logan takes his search even further by learning the full truth of his origin, while also heading in a bold, new direction. |

X-Men Origins: Wolverine comments / review |

It was the first summer blockbuster of 2008. It was also the first summer movie that divided us all. Many feel as if the focus wasn’t actually on Wolverine but that X-Men Origins: Wolverine was just another X-Men movie. There are those that feel as if this was a kick ass adventure that finally introduced Gambit and Deadpool to movie audiences. The one thing we can all agree on is that Deadpool’s appearance at the end of the film wasn’t all it could have been. Whatever camp you fall into the Blu-ray has arrived and it is packed with special features and insights into the film. There are times when many of these “special features” are just tacked on to fill up space. “Fox Movie Channel Presents: World Premiere” hosted by Tava Smiley is a prime example of this. Without a doubt someone will also use the term “roller coaster ride” in these features as well. There are a few like “Wolverine Weapon X Mutant Files Featurette: 10 Character Chronicles” that are actually worth watching. When it all comes down to it are these special features worthy of a Wolverine movie?
The film has its faults and is far from perfect. Often one can look to the film’s documentary for answers as to why the film wasn’t a grand slam home run. Producer Lauren Shuler Donner is quick to mention in “Wolverine Unleashed: The Complete Origins” that the story they wanted to tell was that of Wolverine’s journey in Japan. It was Fox Studios which felt that story should be the follow up film. They wanted to set the roots of his origins right away in its own film. Apparently nobody at Fox had read an X-Men comic to realize that it took Marvel over twenty seven years to do this. Nor had they realized that was part of Wolverine’s appeal. The mystery surrounding the character is what lured in fans and kept them reading. Fox can now boast they did the origin in nine years. Hopefully we will get that Japanese story next now that Fox has been satisfied. There are a lot of great gems in this special feature too. Learning that Jackman and Schreiber created a rivalry off screen to keep their on screen rivalry going is both fun a great tribute to their acting abilities.
“Wolverine Weapon X Mutant Files Featurette: 10 Character Chronicles” is by far the best special on the disc. It is an interesting blend of character profiles, a monologue done by the actor in character, cast and crew interviews about said character and behind the scenes footage. The monologues are incredible yet not every major player has one though some of the smaller ones do. Liev Schreiber is the best as he spouts “I am an animal that dreamed he was a man, but now the beast is awake”. Anyone can clearly see his grasp and respect for the character of Victor Creed. Though many fans will love watching Hugh Jackman go on about the presence Will i Am brought to the character, John Wraith. What really adds to Wraith’s profile is how Will i Am did research for the character. He Googled bad asses on the internet. Fred Dukes’ make-up creation and reason for his inclusion in the story makes the Blob’s a must see as well.
Deleted scenes and alternate takes can often be a mixed bag of either close calls or missed opportunities. The young Storm scene is a perfect example of a proper cut. Whereas Wolverine’s scene in the Japanese bar is perfect prelude to, hopefully, what happens next in the story. The total minutes for all of these deleted and alternate takes are 9:32. A quick watch but only the last one was worth it.
“The Roots of Wolverine: A Conversation with X-Men creators Stan Lee and Len Wein” reveals the true origins of the character. Len Wein and Stan “the Man” Lee discuss everything from how the character originated, Chris Claremont’s 17 year run on the book and discredits a few blog stories how Wolverine was connected to the High Evolutionary. Lee is quick to give credit to the late great Jack Kirby for many of the X-Men’s early days. Whereas Wein is quick to point out that the less you know about Wolverine’s origin the more inciting the character is. This one on one interview with these two great comic authors is fun but it rattles on a little too long at times.
Outside of the two different commentary tracks, none of which feature producer and star Hugh Jackman, there are three different pop up featurettes. These have become a staple of Blu-ray discs yet many companies have yet to realize their full potential. The “Director’s Chair” feature allows us to look behind the camera and see Gavin Hood’s direction of the film. Hood also comments in a sit down interview about acknowledging the difference between what happened in X2 at Alkali Lake and here in his movie. His reasoning is usually that his film is bigger. “X-Facts” shows little or no thought to the die hard fan and is probably more for the occasional moviegoer. Facts such as Wolverine’s first appearance in the comics and Hugh Jackman’s personal history with the character pop up on screen. Facts such Will i Am attending fashion school are better left unsaid.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine on Blu-ray is presented in widescreen on a 50GB dual-layer disc authored in BD-J with AVC (MPEG 4) compression with English 5.1 DTS HD Master Audio. It looks and sounds great. The movie was filmed with all the latest technology and is less than a year old so it’s quality isn’t an issue. What is really lacking on this disc is a retrospective on the character from the comic and a deep look at his cultural significance. Several years ago Wolverine was trapped in the world of comic books and Saturday morning cartoons. Now everyone knows who he is thanks to the movies and more importantly Hugh Jackman. There is little here in appreciation of Wolverine’s journey from comic book icon to movie star. |
