Get Your SNIKT! On With Wolverine Today
May 1, 2009 by brian
The X-Men film franchise delves into the backstory of its most popular mutant, Wolverine today in cinemas everywhere. X-Men Origins:Wolverine tells us just how he became the “best there is at what he does.”
We learn more about the history between Wolverine and Sabretooth, the Weapon X program and there are a few cameos from other mutants such as Cyclops, Deadpool and Gambit.
The commercials say that “summer begins here” and in terms of the summer box office, that is probably not an untrue statement. It’s certainly anticipated to be the summer’s first blockbuster. As journalists, we’re watching to see what impact the leak of an unfinished cut will have on the box office, if any. Readers, do you plan to spend at least part of your weekend with some X-Men?

We saw this past wkd–it was great…Much better than 3rd XMen film, but not better than Spidey 2…It’s hard 2 top that train scene w/him & Doc Ock…Although, I was actually more engrossed by the sibling rivalry b/t Saber & Wolvie as well as the Weapon X story itself than I was the Xavier school 4 the gifted thing…It’s a shame though, that Deadpool had a short time on-screen…Ryan Reynolds really sold that char–he is so witty…Overall, grade= B+.
–Godspeed–
I expected more Deadpool too, since there were rumors Marvel might do a Deadpool movie. I would love to know why Sabretooth hates him so much, that really wasn’t fully delved into.
