X-Men Origins: Wolverine

-by Ann Marie

"X-Men Origins: Wolverine" follows the storyline of James Logan, aka Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and his brother Victor Creed, aka Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber) run away after both James' adoptive and biological father are killed. Together the brother's served throughout many wars before Victor and James were recruited by William Stryker (Danny Huston) to serve in a special unit. The movie takes off as the story follows James from his life as a lumberjack to explaining certain parts of "X-Men."

Gavin Hood's cast for the movie consisted of Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Will i Am, Danny Huston and many others to help make this movie. Acting in the film was brilliant and flowed on the screen.

"X-Men Origins: Wolverine" consisted of many high intense action scenes. The choreography of the movie was fluent and exploited with high energy off the screen. The camera shots throughout the movie, were beautiful and added the movie's storyline. Hood used the basic formula of an action film, keeping the fast cuts, multiple angles used and the moving camera.

Hood is a very versatile man because he acts, directs and writes for many television series and movies. He has acted in "Stargate SG-1" "King Solomon's Mines" and "Rhodes." Besides acting he has also directed movies such as "Rendition" and "A Reasonable Man."

This movie is recommended for fans of X-Men or a fan of Hugh Jackman.
