[Review] X-Men Origins: Wolverine

 

The movie was seriously AWESOME and more ACTION and HUMOUR inside. Here is the plot based on what I have seen in the theater today.

James Howlett/Logan heard a gunfire during a dispute at his father’s estate, and went on to investigate. His father was lying on the floor there. Young James later become fierce and suddenly there are claw coming out from his hand. He run to the man that he think who kill his father and stab him with his claw. Young Howlett later found out that the man that he just stab with his claw was his biological dad. He couldn’t accept the truth. He escape the estate and run through the forest. His half brother, Victor Creed chase him in the forest and later, they sworn to look out for each other’s back.

As time goes by, they are now adult and become soldier for the country. They were sentences to death by firing squad after decapitating a senior officer, but they were immune to shot. This brings Colonel William Stryker attention to assemble a special force, Team X. This team consists of Logan, Victor Creed, Wade Wilson/Deadpool, John Wraith, David North/Zero, Fred Dukes/Blob and Chris Bradley/Bolt. The team had their first mission in Lagos, Nigeria where Stryker believe they have Adamantium. Each and everyone of them show off their skill as being ordered by Stryker.

  The first one to begin is Agent Zero. He is the one with the ability of accuracy and shooting. Next was, Dukes. He stop the tank from firing missile with his hand. After that, Bolt proves that he can run electricity with his mind and move up the elevator. Wade was the next to perform his skill with his katana sword. He reflect all the firing bullet shot by the bad guys. Lastly was Wraith. He can teleport to the boss before the boss could do anything about it. After knowing that the Adamantium was located in a small village three days from their current location. They move on to the small village. The people telling that the stone was from the sky. Stryker told the squad to eliminate everyone there. Wolverine refuses and leave the squad.

Six year later, he was at Canada with his love interest Kayla. (btw, she is a mutant as well). They live there very peaceful and lovely. Meanwhile, at Springfield, Ohio, Bolt who leave the team and work as a normal human in a circus and trying to earn money by challenging people to switch off the light. After that, Victor found him and kill him. Back in the live of lovely and peaceful for Logan, Stryker and Zero come and find Logan and ask him to rejoin the group and take down the one that murder both Wade and Bradley. He refuse and turn down the offer. One of these day, Victor seek out Kayla and murder Wolverine’s love interest (she did not die until the very end of the movie). Wolverine found her dead body and sworn to revenge for her. He seek out Victor and they fought against each other and result was Victor walk away with victory.

The next day, he was at the hospital and he meet up with Stryker once again and hope that Logan join them. Stryker offer a special weapon for Logan. Logan accept the offer and undergo the reformation. Adamantium was the power that been use to insert into Logan’s brain and made him a full-metal. This project has a name that call as Weapon X. One joke about this: Why X? and Stryker answer with X as in represent 10 in Roman numerical. I was like WTF? Next thing was he know that he is being cheated and run away from this laboratory naked!!! (Hugh Jackman naked for this film and Malaysia never cut it? WTF) and run to a farm and meet two good people.

  After that, he was been invited to a dinner with the people. The next morning, the old man asking him to try to ride the chopper. Then, come in the old lady with some cookie. Before  she could continue with the cookie, she was shoot to death straight to the heart. The old man as well die in a single shoot. Zero pull the trigger and hit the two innocent life. Logan run away with the chopper and kill Zero along the way. Next thing, Logan meet up with Wraith and Blob at Wraith training ground. Logan know about the island that filled up with young mutants. Blob tell Logan about one of the man who escape from the island. Guess who? GAMBIT.

During meet up with Gambit, Logan fought Victor again but this time, Logan win. After that, Logan and Gambit travel under the plane that Gambit won to the island. Logan arrive at the island and found Stryker finishing the Weapon XI/Deadpool/Wade Wilson. After that, he once again fought with Victor and this time he knocked him out. By the way, Kayla was here again telling the truth that she is a mutant. Together with Kayla, they released all the young mutants which include Kayla niece and Cyclops, young Storm, Quiksilver, Toad and the rest. 

Stryker unleashed Deadpool and face Wolverine. Kayla bring the rest to another exit. Deadpool later being killed with his head being chopped off by Logan. He later saved Kayla who was injured. Suddenly, a gunshot that contain Adamantium bullet and shot right at Logan’s head. This made him lost his memory. The young mutant follow Charles Xavier and leave to the Academy. Kayla die and Logan don’t remember a single thing. So sad :( Wait. What happen to Stryker. Oh well, before  Kayla die, she hypnotize Stryker and ask him to walk until his leg bleed. He was caught later by some soldier regarding to the General’s death.

Here is my review about this show. This show was one of the awesome action pack besides Watchmen. The action inside the movie was quite thrilling and moreover, this movie is how Wolverine end up joining the X-Men? So what happen to the others? The young mutant joined up with Prof. Xavier at the Academy. Meanwhile, Wolverine should be joining the Academy very soon. So, is Deadpool really dead? Based on what I have seen and read about Deadpool, he was a Weapon XI, just like Logan, he got the power to heal himself. But after decapitated him, wonder how he going to glue his head back to his body? We going to miss the comedian act of Wade Wilson who keep on non-stop talking craps that seriously piss Logan off his head.

According to a source, the movie has three different ending but is the source reliable? Based on the ending that I saw in the cinema, it was about Logan lost his memories and Kayla dead. I can’t find a single point to end the movie. Should they end the movie in different ending, here is my guess.

1. Logan was carry Kayla and about to leave to a peaceful place. Stryker sneak from behind and open fire the adamantium bullet. Logan miss all the six shot from the revolver. Logan put Kayla down and knock-out Stryker. But, from the prequel and the second sequel, both are acted by different people. From what I have seen in both movie. Stryker in the film look much more older with white hair compare to X-Men 2. So, how would the ideal Stryker looks like? Is the hair grey or black? Is he wearing any spectacles? No idea about it. Here is the comic-version of William Stryker.
2. The another ending would be Kayla and Logan live peaceful and Stryker will never forget about it. But too bad, this ending will never happen. Why? If you watch the movie or animation, he seriously do not remember anything about the past. Why? He forgot every about his past. So, if he wasn’t being shot in the head, then how come he could forget about the past?

Sorry for my illogical thinking skill. Wonder how would be the ending? I was curious to know about the other ending. Well, hope the other ending would be much better than this. Seriously, want to separate the lovebirds? So cruel. If I were the director, Stryker is so-gone case. But he is one of the main villain for Wolverine. Damn. Sacrifice the lover instead. 

Other than that, I love Gambit so much. His skill was admired by most of the people around me. Well, the action was interesting and the comedian, Wade Wilson impress me the most. The jokes of Stryker about Weapon X give me the laugh the most. Therefore, I must say that this movie is worth to watch it. For the month of May, this was suppose to be the Top 3. What you waiting for? Go reserve a ticket now and watch it tomorrow with your friends. Not recommended for couple.

EVAN rating X-Men Origins: Wolverine: A :)
