X-Men Origins: Wolverine

We have rated this 8 out of 10. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is the kind of Marvel Comics adaptation that earns its place on Comic Movie DB because it gives fans something to compare, debate and revisit. With Gavin Hood guiding the material, the film/series works best when it understands the appeal of its world and lets the characters drive the spectacle instead of relying only on brand recognition. The cast, including Danny Huston, Dominic Monaghan, Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Lynn Collins, Ryan Reynolds, Taylor Kitsch, will.i.am, gives the page extra search value and fan interest. Some moments land harder than others, and comic adaptations always invite nitpicking from people who know the panels inside out, but that is part of the fun. As a action|adventure|fantasy|scifi entry, it adds another useful layer to the wider screen history of illustrated stories, cult properties and superhero cinema.
