Well I just got back from seeing X-Men Origins, and it was pretty good. Tons of really great fight scenes and the special effects were superb. Only drawback was that I really felt like they didn't do enough to develop the plot, so it ended up feeling more like a long string of events rather than the culmination of all these antagonists in his (Wolverine's) life. Ok, ok, I know this is the obvious choice for this board, but I definitely have to say that my favorite character in the movie was Victor. The amount of work they did to make him look, act, and fight like a wolf (without obviously being a "werewolf" type character) is amazing. It wasn't a surprise to my best friend either that he was my favorite, given that deep (often psycho-type) villains are generally my favorites in superhero movies. Anyways, enough about my feelings, what did ya'll think?

Technically speaking, Victor Creed was fighting like a "sabertoothed cat", after all he is Sabertooth. I do agree though, he was one of the best developed characters in the movie. Origins suffers from the same issues that plagued the original trilogy, TOO many cameos, without enough story. Why couldn't the story simply focus on Logan and Victor and their relationship, but instead you get a mixed bag of disjointed plot, while entertaining, will confuse non comic book fans, and leave die hard fans scratching their heads.

Personally I wasn't impressed and I knew that I wouldn't be. Gambit, without the red eyes was a let down. I mean HELLO in Covenant he had the black eyes during an interview, that's probably why they picked him. And I think he had a cajun accent???? I didn't hear any french words "mon ami, chere, etc" The energy effect was tooooo subtle

I did like Will I Am, his last scene could have been better.

Deadpool's look was a let down (b/c there have been so many ninja movies and SNAKE EYES IS KILLING IT WITH HIS COSTUME) so no excuse. But I'm hearing there's a deadpool sequel, says Ryan Reynolds sorta.

Cyclops and Emma really did rock it.

Yeah Sabertooth is not a werewolf and his teeth were phony to me. I did lovvvveee the claws!!! The hair should have been blonder and grown out. He did good. The origin was DUUUUUMMMMMMMBBBBB and didn't make sense.

I agree the plot was ehhhhh, the ending for Wolverine, I'll just have to go with it. I could have walked out without waiting for that final scene after the credits b/c I knew that's where a sequel would go. Hopefully it'll look more comic book/fantasy.

YO WAS STAN LEE NOT IN THIS MOVIE???

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I read the first volume of Origin.  In my opinion, Wolverine is very much a werewolf.

Star Trek blew this outta the water.

Ummm wow this critic did get the review right about how they just made a 2 hr movie stretching out the scenes in part 1 and 2. Personally they could have done more Weapon X stuff less origin and rehashing. It reallywas a rehash of part 2.  I wanna see an X-Men movie not a Wolverine sequel. (even though that's what they're gonna do)

excited about Deadpool but they better add a costume!

i enjoyed wolverine it was really awesome!
