Wolverine: Origins Review–Worth It, Kind of
The much-anticipated Wolverine has finally come out and there has been lots of talk about whether or not the movie was worth the price of admission. Well, yes, and no. Hugh Jackman again turns in the performance of Logan/Wolverine and the edginess and toughness he showed in previous films and the comic book are there. The story arc and the action were great considering cut down budget prior to filming. You also get to see characters that weren’t in other X-Men films like Deadpool, Silverfox, the Blob and most importantly, Gambit. There is one character that is not befitting to the movie, not because his character isn’t wanted. Sabertooth, played Liev Schrieber, does not epitomize a good Sabretooth. Tyler Mane’s Sabertooth fit the persona much better and I see Liev Schrieber’s casting into the part questionable at best. Depending on the movie theater you decided to go to, there are different endings so beware.
Despite the inconsistency with the casting of Sabretooth, the movie lived up to the expectations and the hype. It is worth seeing if you can stomach the fact the Sabretooth shouldn’t be Liev Schrieber. On a scale of 1-10, the movie is deserving of a 7. The acting’s not that bad and the story is believable…in the scifi world.

Thanks for the information.
No problem. I hope you enjoy it. The movie is great; don’t forget to stay after the credits.
Making this movie R-rated would have helped it out in so many ways… they wouldn’t have had to try so hard to soften up such an inherently gory story line
That’s very true. The movie definitely had what it took to be pretty gruesome.
