My thoughts on "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"

Last night, I went to the midnight opening of “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” It had amazing fight scenes, and great special effects. The storyline was also very deep and emotional. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The way the writers developed Logan, a.k.a. Wolverine, was very well done. There were many events in the movie that resulted in dramatic turns in Wolverine’s story. For example, when Logan was little, he witnessed a man shoot his father in his house. Logan, in a fit of rage, pushed his claws out of his hands for the first time. He charged the man, and stabbed him in the chest. However, just before the man died, he told Logan that he was his father. This caused Logan to run away with his brother, Victor Creed, who told him that he had to become “hard” to survive. If this hadn’t happened, it probably would have taken a much longer time for Logan to find out about his powers, and he most likely would not have been so heavily involved in the military. There are many other events like this, but I won’t go into them for fear of summarizing the whole movie.
I have seen the other X-Men movies, and I have a brother who knows a great deal about comic books. Due to this, I enjoyed the appearances made by characters such as The White Queen Emma Frost, who was the one with the diamond skin, Scott Summers, who was later called Cyclops, and last but certainly not least, Professor Charles Xavier himself. Deadpool was pretty good too, although they did mess up a few minor details from the comics. In the comics, Deadpool couldn’t fire beams from his eyes. Also, while he could teleport, it wasn’t a power he had, but rather a device. Also, he still carried his swords; they did not come out of his hands.
I liked the whole “origins” concept of this movie. It told Wolverine’s story in a brilliant fashion. Most people didn’t know that Wolverine had claws before he became Weapon X. What is also little known is how old he really is. I knew he was pretty old, because I had read comics where he was fighting in WWII, but I didn’t know that he was in the Revolutionary War. I also found it somewhat funny that he was on the same island as Professor X, who he would meet years later, and one of the mutants whom he rescued was a young Cyclops, who would later save him from a sneak attack by Sabretooth, a.k.a. Victor Creed in the first X-Men movie.
“X-Men Origins: Wolverine” was an excellent movie. It told the story of one of the most popular, and most awesome, comic book characters ever created with a great deal of skill. It showed not only the fighting side of Wolverine, but also the compassionate human being who just wanted to lead a normal life. In conclusion, whether you’re a comic book fanatic, or you’ve never read a comic book in your life, I would highly recommend that you see this movie.
