X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Hugh Jackman is always fun to watch. This fills in some blanks about his background. Just be prepared to mentally shift some facts around in your head to put events in order.

Any Wolverine fan needs this movie! Compliments to the seller. They are legitimate and I would definitely purchase from them again. DVD arrived quickly was packaged well and as a result in perfect condition.

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.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine For those who waited for this prequel to X-Men, it was worth every moment, every day of anticipation. For those who have never seen X-Men, well, this is a great place to start. In the grand tradition of the comic book, this edition features the origins of The Wolverine, the mutant who is at the core of the storyline. I do not like to get into plot or storyline too heavily. I despise trailers with their 'let's show them the entire movie in split-second sequencing'. It's designed to monetize, not for the viewer. You'll not get that in my reviews either. There have been some excellent renditions of the `Batman', `Spider-man', and `Watchmen' series' in recent years. With just the right mix of CGI, storytelling, and acting, we have reached new levels in the way comic books are depicted on film. Director, Gavin Hood, has taken these tools and designed an outstanding issue in this, the third installment of the series. The bar now rests at a higher level for those who follow. I enjoy director's who compete with their peers. When they get it right, amazing results are often achieved. Like the original comic book series, a tale can be told with the flourish of great graphics, coupled with minimal, but carefully selected text, to achieve a creative and comprehensible story line. The great artist, Jack Kirby (Captain America, Fantastic Four), was the initial artist in the X-Men series. While not the creator of the `Wolverine' character, I believe he would have approved of the camera work in `Wolverine'. There is great stop action framing, perhaps homage to King Kirby. I also love the angles used in shooting. In many cases, the distant view of the entire scene is shown, much like in the comic books. Hugh Jackman stars as `Logan/Wolverine'. He is perfect in every frame. The effort that Jackman has put into this portrayal is clear. He has turned himself into a physical specimen rarely seen in a starring role since Bruce Lee in `Enter The Dragon'. Add to this his powerful ability to project dialogue in any manner and its clear Jackman is far beyond the coveted `triple threat' that most entertainers aspire to be. His turns onstage as `Curly' in Oklahoma, `Peter Allen' on Broadway, and film roles in `Van Helsing' and ` The Prestige' solidify that fact. For good measure, he was the song and dance, comedic host of the 2008 Academy Awards show. There is excellent supporting talent at every turn in this production. Liev Schreiber is particularly nasty as the `hell bent' Victor Creed. Musician, Will.i.Am, Kevin Durand and Taylor Kitsch all lend nice supporting roles as well. I particularly liked Lynn Collins, as Logan's love interest Kayla. Dominic Monaghan (Lost) lit the way as mutant `Bolt'. He was joined by and `A-Team' group of mutants that put on an excellent display of their superpowers. Rounding out the team was Tim Pocock, Ryan Reynolds (as Hal Jordan/The Green Lantern' in production), and Daniel Henney. Their scenes epitomize what many comic readers love to see in the pages, action packed, and jaw dropping abilities. They did not disappoint here. Technical The Blu-ray edition is vibrant and exceptional at 1924 X 1080p, 120Hz. The sound is fine on all levels at 5.1, dts-HD. The special features are many. They include the customary commentary with the director (Gavin Hood), a great feature with Stan Lee and former writer Len Wein. The back and forth banter is pure gold for fans. So many tidbits of fascinating information are thrown at you, seemingly as afterthoughts. Also included are `Ultimate X-mode' (ability to sit in the director's chair, pre-visualize Wolverine and X-Facts), a helicopter scene, insight segment, and an alternate ending. The language options are English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. The subtitles available are English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Cantonese.

love this movie item came quickly and good quality

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.

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.

Love X-men and this one was very good.

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.

Versione Steelbook veramente ben fatta e curata nei minimi dettagli, con una bella scena del film all’interno e un ottimo prezzo. Qualità audio e video del BluRay veramente buone. Da avere assolutamente per ogni fan di X-Men e collezionista di DVD, soprattutto vi consiglio di prenderla ora che costa poco. Che sicuramente con il tempo si rialzerà il prezzo. 7,57 + 2,90 Euro di spedizione è un affare. Spedizione è stata anche più veloce del previsto, servizio proprio eccellente. Come imballo dico che Amazon in generale deve imparare da loro su come si spedisce un film, visto che ancora non lo hanno capito. Non costa nulla mettere una strisciolina di pluriball o della carta all’interno del pacchetto per non rischiare che sbatte durante il tragitto. Cosa che questo venditore ha fatto. Ecco anche alcune foto della Metal box.

Pour Commencer , je dirai que ce qu'il y a souvent de plus difficile à régler dans ce genre de film , c'est de retranscrire au mieux tout le charisme , la force et l'énergie qui émane d'un "Super-Héro" digne de ce nom , mais aussi de lui donner une réelle amplitude émotionnelle et psychologique ! En cela Hugh Jackman en "Wolverine" alias "Serval" est bien plus que convaincant ! il est tout bonnement extraordinnaire !!! Il me semble ainsi que ce n'est pas de si tot que nous trouverons un autre acteur aussi brillant pour ce role !!! .. Ainsi, il y eu une multitude d'interpretes pour "Zorro" , il y a des légions de "Batman" et on nous trouvera sans doute des dizaines d'acteurs capables de jouer Spider-man. Quand au film : voici donc un film que j'ai beaucoup apprécié ! et ce à plus d'un titre , le scénario est bien équilibré et la mise en scène tout en étant dynamique , laisse aussi respirer l'ensemble et prend son temps quand il le faut pour développer . Nous avons donc droit à quelques très belles scènes sur fond de magnifiques paysages, ainsi que des scènes de transitions qui nous éclairent sur les aspirations à une vie simple et romantique de Logan (Wolverine) ... Avec les superbes montagnes rocheuses du Canada , on en prend plein la vue ! Coté cinématographique: c'est un film bien construit, d'une durée bien calibrée , ... et pour une fois les personnages secondaires sont suffisament étoffés pour que l'on puisse se faire une idée de leurs parcours !! ainsi vous trouverez aussi ,Liev Schreiber, qui dans le role du frère de Logan est tout à fait remarquable et nous prouve une fois de plus qu'il est un des meilleurs acteur de sa génération !! , tout à fait subtil et impressionnant !! Aussi : Le film est jalonné de scène d'action très brillament dirigés !!! , les effets spéciaux sont époustouflants et coté technique le traitements des couleurs est superbe ... les amateurs de scènes spectaculaires seront comblés !!!!Pour les cinéphiles: Mention spéciale à la poursuite effrenée avec la superbe moto,au milieu du film, clin d'oeil génialement réussi à la poursuite du film légendaire "la grande Evasion" avec Steve Mc Queen! Cette édition simple est presque plus belle que la collector ! avec sa pochette cartonnée !et la photo impressionnante de "Wolverine" Je ne regrette pas une seule seconde mon achat !!!! Pour moi : X men Origin "Wolverine" est vraiment dans le genre , un très bon film !! à recommander !!, .... on veut la suite !!

Bien et rapide

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
