X-Men Origins: Wolverine - The Story of a Magnificent Warrior
The movie is directed by Gavin Hood, who won the 2005 Oscar in Foreign Language for Tsotsi. X-men origin is starring Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds, Liev Schreiber, Taylor Kitsch, Danny Huston, William, Daniel Henney and Dominic Monaghan.
The X-Men has its origin from the favourite issues of 1980s “X-Men” fanatics written exclusively by Chris Claremont and drawn by Frank Miller for wolverine. The screenplay is co-written by David Beniofff and Skip Woods.
The X-Men Origins is an intense sequence of action, violence and with some partial nudity. The lead role by Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) makes him a superstar with the character, who he carries in the movie. He possesses the amazing healing power, primal fury and retractable claws. He is at the edge of both the unguarded feeling and his polite behavior. It is his turn to choose one amongst the two. He continuously battles between the two sides and takes care that he makes the connection between chaos and order, by carefully arranging the disturbed pebbles in a Zen Garden after a fight. Wolverine--- a.k.a. Logan has a brother victor Victor Creed (Liev Schreiber), who contrasts the character of Logan engaged in pure evil all through the movie.
Wolverine is identified more personally as the spider man for the real life comic readers. However, he is popular in his own ways for his deeds and primal activities. The situations in X-men origin has spurred him into action by brutally dispatching everyone who is close to him, from his kindhearted father to his sweetheart Kayla Silverfox.
The X-Men Origins may create confusions and frustrations among the viewers having to choose one over the other. Wolverine will be loved and people may also forgive him, even if he does something that is horrible. There is no much expectation from the movie, but X- Men Origin will be appreciated for the Wolverine’s magnificent character.
