X-Men Origins: Wolverine

And that "Bryan Singers" vision just wasn't that great. At first, the idea of a spin-off origin story of Wolverine sounded stupid. Why did we need to hear more about Wolverine then we did in X2. Wasn't killing Stryker and learning of those origins enough? No, it definitely wasn't. There was much to learn about Wolverine's very long past, and I say long because somehow they get a hell of a lot of material done in a 1 hour and 47 minutes. From the awesome credits scenes with him and Sabertooth (needed an origin story as well)in various wars, it becomes obvious that a great movie has been made. From the introduction of Deadpool (gets the coolest scenes in the movie) the death of a love of Wolverine's, to his involvement in the "Weapon X" program, the movie moves from one to thing to another very smoothly. From great action scenes (Wolverine being shot at on a motorcyle after being admanatium is in him being the best) and some really sad moments when various characters are killed, I completly forgot why I ever cared about "Bryan's Singer" ovveratted vision. I would rate this either the best or 2nd best X-Men movie, only possibly 2nd to X3. I know what most people of think of X3, so an explanation is needed for this belief. X-Men was a good movie, but it was obvious that the budget wasn't high enough and just didn't allow for enough explosive action in a franchise that is half about the awesome powers in fight scenes. X-Men 2 got that budget and while having a great story wasted money on a dragged on ending scene (breaking facility=boring) and a lack of anything for Colossus to do. X-Men: The Last Stand (X3) was not dragged on in any way, and while it did insert way too many characters (wasted Colossus and side characters as well), gave Storm more screen time (give her a spin-off for god sakes) and fufilled a excellent storyline involving the pheonix. Yes, Deadpool was a little off in Wolverine. But it was meant to be his origin story as well, wasn't it? Yes. I imagine his spin-off will show us the true Deadpool. And yes Gambit was randomly inserted to please no one. But other characters like Silver Fox, The Blob, and the guy Will.I.AM played (forgot his name) were handled perfectly, which is less than I say for the limited screen time of Storm in any X-Men movie. The next time around, I would like to see no random characters that sacrifice story being inserted. But the action must be kept up and the story must as well. If this is done, the next X-Men movie, whether it be Deadpool, X-Men; First Class, Magneto, or Wolverine 2, could easily be the best. Oh, and if X4 is ever made, I want to see Angel as a main character doing a lot of flying around, Roque realizing her true powers, Professor X-s new body, and Apocalypse causing humans and mutants to team up to fight him.

It's not just that this movie is more filled with eye-popping effects and thrilling action sequences than the trilogy, though that's true. Rather, it's that there's a whole story here. Wolverine starts fast, and springboards from the long-running Marvel Comics series in breath-taking ways. It's a multi-faceted tale with an emotional richness seldom associated with the phrase "summer movie." For good reason, we equate summer movies with empty, flash-bang exercises in computer-generated imagery and mindless action. But the writers here are as interested in the subtext as they are in the high quality action. There's no denying that mutant super-powers drive this film. This is what state-of-the-art special effects look like: the live-action version of the way comic books appear in your mind. That would be irrelevant, however, without a good story. The movie delivers enough story and skillfully weaves together character, plot and action. This movie and the action is just plain spectacular. One of the great things about this film is that virtually no screen time is spent on background character development. Like with last year's Incredible Hulk, the opening credits serve as a cool update and feeder for a basic origin. Even the newer characters that are introduced get very little time devoted to their past and it all works quite well. People in general are smart and can read between the lines, thus negating the necessity for cumbersome background information. Apparently the director figured this out and doesn't "talk down" to his audience even though it's an action film. The pace flows smoothly, with hardly a stutter along the way to break up the story or the action. That's the key. As good as X2 was, Wolverine simply has better action without sacrificing the heart or character development or the emotion that made this franchise the juggernaut that it has turned out to be. This movie stands on its own, as its own Wolverine. People who've never seen any of the other movies can go and see it and enjoy it. I saw it with two people that have never seen any X-Men stuff and they loved it. One of the year's best. It's A complete movie that flows so very well.

Love X-men and this one was very good.

We got this movie even with all the mixed reviews because word of mouth among our real life friends said it was a good movie. While it has its faults, there is a lot to love about the movie. The good. The main characters all do an excellent job. Especially Jackman since he real life voice and demeanor do not even come close to Logan. Sabertooth also does a great job in his acting for the script he was given. You get a real sense that even though he is at odds with his brother, he cares about him more than anything else.... after all according to the movie plot, they have been together for about 150 years. They do a good job explaining how he got the metal in him and the claws as well as his memory loss even though I personally did not like that part of it. The graphics and effects were great too. On blu ray especially it looked so good. The bad. The movie moved along way to fast. You get a small glimpse of the brothers going through wars and stuff up till the present day but largely ignore that back story. Then they join a special group of others like them and again we get fast forward through their time together and a very brief introduction to the other specials. He leaves during what appears to be his first mission and somehow everyone is upset and that breaks up the group even though he was new and never did anything for them at least as the movie shows. He goes and tries to start a normal life and of course that can not happen. Again this was all so rushed, it should have been its own movie and spent the time to develop these characters better and their relationships. Also far too many characters die and for no reason it seems. Now in the first Xmen I had an issue with the fact that they were so light on killing and they needed some low level mutants as fodder but this movie just wastes good established (from the comic books) characters. Of course as many others pointed out this movie strays far from the comics but so do the Xmen movies. I can not really fault that here as they try to stay more in line with the other films than with the comics. Personally I can accept this as an alternate version of the Xmen world and am ok with that. Overall we still enjoyed the movie but were disappointed at how far short they fell with what they could have done. I imagine that in 10 years or so somebody will pick up Xmen again and perhaps do the series right. Good movie but not great.

Great movie

love this movie item came quickly and good quality

The DVD works great. No skipping or freezing. I love the movie and I was happy it wasn't expensive.

That's the complaint I always hear. It's tired. Deadpool is an accessory in this. Was his whole part weird and dumb? Yes. But I'm not gonna rate an entire movie based on 5% that isn't even the main focus of the narrative. This story is about James/Logan's growth and the relationships that helped form him, namely that of him and his (in this world) sibling, Victor, as well as Silverfox and Striker. Liev Schreiber brings an insane depth and complexity to Creed that no one else could have achieved, bringing to life the downward spiral of a disintegrating enneagram 8. His bro-chemistry with Hugh Jackman was perfect and they were able to play off each other like they really were brothers. It was a believable almost trauma-bond type of sibling dynamic that I relate to and love to see on screen, since it's not exactly the most commonly represented. If you're able to watch this movie without getting hung up on the dumb deadpool, it is incredibly worth it, with acting that far, far FAR exceeds that which we were given in the actual X-Men movies.

Su questa recensione come per le altre della serie X-Men SteelBook non mi soffermerei sulla descrizione del film, ormai noto a tutti, ma di parlare solo ed esclusivamente della vera novità : la cover. Contrariamente ad altri film analoghi che scarseggiavano di edizioni speciali, X-Men aveva già l'imbarazzo della scelta con diversi SteelBook molto colorati in edizioni italiane ed import, nonché alcune cartonate. Poi sono uscite alcune edizioni speciali piuttosto ingombranti (come l'artiglio della Adamantium Collection a 6 BluRay, una vera edizione a tiratura limitata e numerata; la presentazione è indubbiamente di pregio, ma lo sviluppo in altezza dell'artiglio rendeva difficoltosa la collocazione in videoteca. Da segnalare anche la bellissima edizione con cover in plastica dura a forma di X, contenente all'interno un DigiPack con cinque BluRay ed alcune cartoline da collezione realizzate appositamente per questa versione . Insomma di edizioni belle e di tutti i gusti ce ne erano già abbastanza, ma quando è uscita questa serie in SteelBook ho voluto acquistare il primo e vedere da vicino toccando con mano la qualità della cover e l'impatto visivo. Tanto con Amazon, ogni acquisto che non riteniamo soddisfacente, può essere reso a costo zero. Quando è arrivato ha confermato la mia prima impressione, ovvero una cover semplice ma di classe, artwork puro e senza scritte fronte, retro ed inside. Non è lucidato in nero brillante (come 77 Ronin o Maleficient per intenderci) ma è grezzo come Terminator 1 uscito in vendita su Amazon un mesetto prima. Dunque un edizione, a mio avviso, semplice ma di classe e tra l'altro ad un costo contenuto; una vera e propria rivincita della semplicità Pensando poi che gli altri BluRay della serie erano più o meno simili, non ho proprio resistito alla tentazione di acquistarli tutti e di metterli in videoteca uno accanto all'altro. Il colpo d'occhio è veramente notevole.

X-MEN ORIGINS - WOLVERINE ist der nunmehr vierte Film der stetig wachsenden Mutantensaga, die mit X-MEN im Jahr 2000 ihren Anfang nahm, und für eine fulminante Renaissance der totgeglaubten Comic-Verfilmungen sorgte. X-MEN verband gekonnt coole Comic-Action mit glaubhaften Charakteren und einer Geschichte, die nicht nur auf Action abziehlte, sondern durchaus moralischen und ethischen Zündstoff bot. Filme wie die SPIDERMAN Trilogie oder die neue BATMAN Reihe wären ohne die X-MEN vermutlich nicht entstanden. Über die Jahre (und Filme) gelang es den Verantwortlichen der X-MEN Saga dieses hohe, anspruchsvolle Niveau zu halten. So auch im jüngsten Werk, das jetzt auf DVD und BluRay erschienen ist. X-MEN ORIGINS - WOLVERINE erzählt die Vorgeschichte zum ersten X-MEN Film und der Hauptteil spielt ca. 20 Jahre vor der Handlung der Trilogie. Die Geschichte handelt von Liebe, Tod und Rache. Somit ist der Tonus wesentlich ernster als in der Trilogie, und der Film um einiges düsterer. Die Produzenten haben den Film im Vorfeld mit RAMBO verglichen, und stellenweise trifft diese Assoziation sehr zu. Die Geschichte lebt von ihren Charakteren, allen voran natürlich Titelheld Wolverine, der einmal mehr von Hugh Jackman erstklassig gemimt wird. Nicht minder beeindruckend ist Liev Schreibers Darstellung des Victor Creed, Wolverines Bruder, der dem Charakter glaubhaft brutale bis monströse Züge verlieht, gleichzeitig aber eine Anziehungskraft, der der Zuschauer sich kaum entziehen kann. Die Präsenz der beiden Brüder bestimmt den Film. Durch diesen Plot rückt der Handlungsrahmen und Toleranz und Akzeptanz von "anderen" Menschen, der der zentrale Punkt der Trilogie gewesen ist, etwas in den Hintergrund. Gavin Hood ist es gelungen einen beeindruckenden Action-Thriller im Retro-Look zu drehen. Jeder Szene des Films sieht und fühlt man die späten 70iger deutlich an. Die Geschichte ist spannened. Ruhige Passagen, wechseln mit atemberaubenden, perfekt inszinierten Actionszenen, die ihresgleichen suchen; dennoch verkommen dabei die Charaktere nie zu Statisten. Eine besondere Erwähnung soll noch dem Soundtrack gelten. Harry Gregson-Williams gelang es einen erstklassigen Score zu verfassen, der von Anfang an fesselt. Allein die Opening-Credits sind visuell und vor allem auditorisch ein Hochgenuss. Ein Soundtracktipp für ihre Sammlung. Die Bluray kommt mit gestochen scharfen Bild daher, das sich von den anderen X-Men Filmen leicht abhebt. Der Sound liegt in 5.2 DTS vor (im Englischen sogar 5.1 DTS HD). Mit einer ordentlichen Anlage krachen die Actionsequenzen erstklassig im 3D Klang. Vor allem Szenen wie die Helicopter Sequenz und der Tower-Fight werden zum cineastischen Hochgenuss. Die Specials runden den positiven Gesamteindruck rund ab. Es gibt Charakterprofile zu den verschiedenen Mutanten, einen Entstehungshintergrundreport zum Film, einige Szenenanalysen, sowie diverse Interviews mit Cast, Crew und den geistigen Vätern Wolverines. Zwei verschiedene Audiokommentare und Backgroundinfos, die sich über BD-live während des Films hinzuschalten lassen vervollständigen die umfangreichen Specials. Desweiteren liegt dem Release eine 2te Disk vor, in der sich der Film (in deutscher Sprachfassung) als Digital Copy beiliegt, so dass man ihn bequem auf Festplatte, oder mobile Player kopieren kann. Ein spannender, temporeicher Actionfilm, der durch seine Charakterzeichnungen besticht. Eine würdige Fortsetzung der X-MEN Reihe, und definitiv eine Empfehlung für jeden Action und Comic-Fan.

ローガンがどうしてウルヴァリンになったのかコレを観ればわかります そしてあのデッドプールもちょっとだけ登場 が、デッドプールファンからするとちょっと残念ですが一風変わったデッドプールを観ることが出来るのでそれはそれで面白いと思います

Me encanta la película de los comienzos de lobezno. Su acción, sus escenas y su trama es perfecta. La recomiendo 100%. ( Y esta en perfecto castellano).

Arrivé rapidement dans de bonnes conditions. Correspond à la description.
