If you’ve been in any large store lately, I bet you have seen displays for the X-Men Origins: Wolverine DVD release on September 9/15/09. Hugh Jackman wasn’t really on my radar, till now. We received a copy of X-Men Origins: Wolverine to review (boy, did I ever score ‘awesome wifey’ points on that one!)
Here’s a synopsis (obviously not written by me but Twentieth Century Fox): Experience the very first chapter of the exciting X-Men saga through the eyes of a true Marvel legend when X-Men Origins: Wolverine arrives Blu-ray Disc (BD) and Special Edition DVD September 15 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Hugh Jackman (Australia, Deception) returns as the iconic character in an epic adventure that pits Wolverine and all mutants against powerful forces determined to eliminate them. Spanning over 150 years, X-Men Origins: Wolverine chronicles young James Logan and his tortured past… from boy, to man, to mutant. From conflicts with his half brother Victor Creed – aka Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber; Defiance, The Ten), his membership in Team X, his infamous adamantium rebirth and the total memory loss that ultimately fuels his angry quest, X-Men Origins: Wolverine paints the vivid and difficult journey of the legendary superhero.
Typically I’m not into Fantasy or Sci-Fi movies, but actually surprised myself by really getting into this movie (though I did have to ask my husband and his brother to explain a few things to me). Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds got me watching initially, but the storyline kept me intrigued throughout. I don’t follow the X-MEN movie franchise so I can’t say whether this one was better than the others, but if it IS anything like the others, I may just give those movies a chance now as well.
