Movie Review – X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) – 2 Stars

There are some movies that explain very little about the details of the plot, and there are others, like ‘Wolverine’ that explain far too much. If you were to watch this movie and the first ‘X-Men’ film back to back, then the ratio of explanation/set-up to action might be just about right. I know that this is supposed to be an ‘Origins’ film, but there’s simply far too much time spent emoting over Logan’s back story. You can’t ignore the fact that it’s supposed to be an X-Men film, so I think this adaptation is let down in that respect.
