Movie review: X-Men Origins (Wolverine)

I am a faithful superhero fan, and an X-Men addict. I had always felt that, should I ever acquire powers, I’d rather have them by mutation than by a spider bite (yeah, it’s kind of less painful that way I think). Thanks to the kind folks of Marvel Comics, we have a whole breed of new humans with superpowers: mutants. I have been waiting for X-Men Origins (Wolverine) for a long time, given that several scenes of the series of X-Men movies have been filmed in British Columbia (some of them actually at UBC).

I had waited to watch Wolverine with JT as we have always watched the X-Men movies together. This one, while it had mutants, Ryan Reynolds and lots of action, didn’t blow me away like the other movies. There were a number of bloopers and errors of continuity. But overall, I enjoyed the movie. I would not say it was my favorite, but it wasn’t totally horrible.
