DVD Review: "X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERNE" Score B-

In what Marvel studios intends to be a slate of X-Men Origins films WOLVERINE is out of the gate first. Jackman reprises the role he stamped in the other X-Men films. Here he does nothing new and we have seen all of the emotions and actions he does. Schieber as his brother Sabertooth is an interesting casting choice and although he does a decent job it might have been better on a film franchise basis to use the same actor from the other films. The introduction of other X-Men characters was nice if brief. However Will i Am should stay out of movies as he is not an actor and falls flat around everyone else. Deadpool was under utilized and bastardized for the ending. Hope his spin off movie is better. Action sequences are mediocre and nothing to jump up and down about. The film performed well a the box office mainly due to Wolverine's worldwide popularity and using the same actor for the spinoff as in the previous X-men films. Decent not great.
