X-MEN
ORIGINS:
WOLVERINE
With
Hugh
Jackman,
Ryan
Reynolds,
Liev
Schreiber,
Danny
Huston,
Lynn
Collins,
Kevin
Durand,
Dominic
Monaghan,
Will
i
Am
Written
by
David
Benioff
&
Skip
Woods
Directed
by
Gavin
Hood
Rising
from
small
part
actor
in
foreign
movies
shooting
in
South
Africa,
to
directing
the
Best
Foreign
Oscar
winner
Tsotsi,
Gavin
Hood's
Hollywood
breakthrough
came
with
Rendition,
starring
some
serious
Hollywood
names
and
respected
Oscar
winner's
like
Meryl
Streep
and
Reese
Witherspoon.
He
followed
that
with
his
first
big
budget
action
movie
in
the
shape
of
the
first
X-Men
Origins
movie
Wolverine,
the
popular
Hugh
Jackman
reprising
his
role
as
the
character.
Where
certain
hints
were
dropped
in
the
second
X-Men
movie
on
how
Logan
became
Wolverine
(his
mutation
fused
with
an
indestructible
steel
skeleton,
making
him
a
super-healing
hero),
here
the
full
background
and
history
is
filleted
and
exposed
with
high-impact
action
and
special-FX.
Having
been
part
of
a
special
covert
unit,
he
gives
it
up
when
unnecessary
violence
and
death
results.
But
there
are
forces
out
to
get
him,
as
the
members
of
his
team
get
killed
one-by-one,
his
number
coming
up
soon.
With
other
X-Men
characters
like
Sabretooth
a
big
part
of
the
narrative,
the
race
for
the
truth,
survival
and
justice
is
a
hard
and
violent
one.
While
designed
for
younger
viewers
and
comic
book
/
superhero
fans,
this
makes
for
an
enjoyable
but
somehow
secondary
chapter
to
the
original
trilogy.
Special
features
include
a
look
at
the
making
of
the
movie,
deleted
and
alternate
scenes.
