Seeking solace from his dark past, Logan (Hugh Jackman), better known as Wolverine, seems to have found love and contentment with Kayla Silverfox (Lynn Collins). Logan's peaceful existence is shattered when Victor Creed (Liev Schreiber), his vicious brother, brutally murders Kayla. Logan's thirst for revenge propels him into the Weapon X program, where he undergoes a painful procedure to bond his bones with adamantium, making him virtually indestructible and more than a match for Victor.

Critics Consensus

Though Hugh Jackman gives his all, he can't help X-Men Origins: Wolverine overcome a cliche-ridden script and familiar narrative.

This isn't that well made, but considering the standards for superhero movies, this is an emotional movie that is underrated.

I have never seen a movie that starts off so strongly, but consistently drops in quality every 10 minutes. High Jackman is great as always, and Liev Schreiber is an excellent Sabretooth, but the writing, directing, and some of the other actors fail to match what they bring to the screen.

Time Out

Revenge soon grips Logan when his love is taken away, but Tsotsi director Gavin Hood seems bored by the sibling rivalry; even the Frankensteinian weaponizing of a human body feels rushed.

It’s violent and cruel and shrouded in darkness, filled with the complicated backstories and the weirdly incestuous origin details from the comic books that [are] confusing and confounding and no substitute for a story.

Gone With The Twins

Even when the hand-to-hand combat looks impressive, the stunts get far-fetched, pushing the special effects to the limit.
