Bad. Bad, bad, bad. So awful, in fact, that Ratner's third film seems almost accomplished. This manages to do absolutely nothing interesting with an incredibly cool character. And worse: it's no fun, with mostly bland performances and its ridiculously over-the-top action. Avoid.

One of the most retarded and mindless action romps I've ever seen. Why was this made? It's totally unnecessary, only detracts from the X-Men franchise, and has virtually no themes of interest. Bar the title sequence and the pretty ok ending this is just Jackman running around making an angry face for 2 hours and having some fights. If that's your thing, go for it, but if you want a well-crafted action film with engaging characters and non-obvious CGI, seriously: please give this one a miss.

The action wasn't that great, the effects weren't that great. They threw in a bunch of mutants just to have them in there. A bunch of it was repetitive. Just Wolverine and Sabretooth stabbing each other a bunch, yelling, and healing. It's amazing that they took three of the most popular comic characters today (Wolverine, Deadpool and Gambit) and made the audience not care about them at all. An easily forgettable movie.

Incredibly disappointing. How do you fuck up Deadpool so bad? That guy was so great in the comics and Ryan Reynolds plays him and ruins his streak of decent movies. Pathetic. The stunts are pretty decent but that final fight was so bad. Sooooooo bad. Fox blows.

A really, really disappointing prequel to the X-Men trilogy. The reason X-Men was so good was because it delt with mutants in a realistic fashion. As in "if people had these powers how would they interact with the real world?" X-Men Origins: Wolverine is simply a over-the-top action film. Full of cliches and obviously cut down dialog sequences and conflicts that are flatly absurd. Hugh Jackman is good as Wolverine, and Ryan Reynolds was a great choice for Deadpool but man did they ruin that.

Wolverine is a bloated film with too many characters and dosen't spend enough time on Wolverine himself. With its forgettable and brainless plot, it's not a movie that leaves you satisfied which is quite a shame when you consider its potential. Nothing in Wolverine stands out as memorable. In terms of tone and content, Wolverine is a close match to Daredevil and Ghost Rider. Wolverine was made by people more interested in money than telling a coherent story so the movie suffers for it.

How can you mess up great characters like Deadpool, Gambit and dare I say even Wolverine? The sinister anti-hero with the cloudy past is reduced to a poster boy for steriod consumption and comic (or what non-comic readers think of as comic) clichés. Liev Schreiber pleasantly surprises as a finally solid sabretooth, but this movie should have received a mercy kill after the first 20 minutes. Thanks a lot marvel for selling out yet again.

They lost me early on when "Deadpool" was deflecting bullets from multiple machine guns just by twirling his swords around. I'm all for suspending disbelief--it's a movie about mutants after all--but there are a number of silly moments and it's just a generally stupid movie. I like Jackman as Wolverine, but the rest of the cast are unappealing, the fights suck, the special effects are often terrible (a driving scene that looks like rear-projection), the dialogue is goofy, oops, out of room...

So, confession time you guys, I watched an illegal copy of this. It turned out to be a sort of pre-release version, where the CGI effects weren't finished in the last scene. So you'd have Wolverine dart around in a wireframe landscape, sort of like the Star Trek holodeck, when it's not running a program. One would think that this would teach me a lesson, but ironically it is the only thing I remember from it. Danny Huston was in this?!

There are one or two entertaining moments here, but they're few and far between. Mostly this film bores and disappoints in equal measure. The bland story & script that excludes or needlessly amends the best sections of the comic book history of Wolverine means you spend most of this film lamenting what a missed oppitunity it clearly is. On top of that the casting is frankly awful, the performances poor, & much of the CGI woeful, which is amazing considering the budget. A mess.

As a mindless, killer superhero action spectacle, this is quite a hoot. As an actual film with some positive aspects, this is really quite retarded. They completely edited Deadpool and Gambit to soft, whiny but also moronic people that we can only sigh at rather than sympathize and cheer on. They also cram in a majority of our favorites in here, but they also end up being dry and tedious. Pathetic performances too, with the exception of Sabretooth. Thanks for messing up again Fox.

They knew which characters to use, but not how to use them. Gambit's role was terribly underplayed, and Deadpool was just... The less said about the rape of Deadpool, the better. Character misuse aside, the plot is rehashed from better films, and the action scenes are mildly creative at best, terrible at worst. Thre was a lot of squandered potential here, and it was hard to watch.

Even though I haven't read the comics, I can tell that the makers of this have crammed together as many strands from the original comic's histories as possible and strung them together on the vaguest and thinnest of plot strands, the results of which was going to be a failure, and with its serious tone never having a sense of messy silliness to it. No one would get a lot from this, X-Men comic fans or not.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is poorly written, even for a comicbook-based-character. Jackman is the high-light but this lacked a lot of good characters. Not just that, but there are some crappy visual effects for the most part. Gambit was good (with the screen time he actually got), and Schreiber is an awesome Sabertooth. Most of the other characters (like Wade Wilson) don't get their screen time they deserved either.

Wolverine has always been a 1-dimensional character (that dimension? Badass!) that works best when given different personality types to bounce off of. Not so here, where almost every character comes from the "Let God sort 'em out" School of KickAssery. Testosterone levels r high enough that pregnant women should sit a minimum of 15 rows back, but it could be worse. The action sequences (thankfully there's a lot of em) are mostly well done& the story keeps things moving at a generally brisk pace

Not as bad as it's made out to be. Much more comic-booky than a lot of its contemporaries. It's over the top, without irony, which doesn't seem to fly as much with viewers or critics these days. I enjoyed it, but my only real gripes are some bad CGI and the fudging of Deadpool's continuity. Otherwise, not the shabbiest.

About 45 minutes in i realised i had actually seen X-Men Borigins before, it's that forgettable. For the most part it's a bog-standard action movie with awful dialogue. It mostly stands out because of some of its hilariously bad CGI, ridiculous plot and idiotic characters. It's not a complete loss because some of its positive points; The acting is fairly solid (except Taylor Kitch sucks), i had a few laughs due to its badness and it's mercifully short.

As a kid I was never the one in the group who liked Wolverine. Yet somehow, without fail, I find myself seeing every Wolverine movie in theatres. I always tell myself "never again" but, like some sort of sadist, I find myself planted firmly within that theatre chair again. This one is probably the worst of the X-Men movies I've seen and it disappoints me that I'm not disappointed by this movie. I enjoyed Liev Schreiber's interpretation of Sabertooth, but that's about it. Avoid this one.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is just about as disastrous as X3. With the exception of the reliable Hugh Jackman, this unnecessary spin-off is poorly written and forgettable. There's absolutely no sense of continuity and with backstory and certain characters this prequel undoes so much that X-Men & X2 fleshed out. There's so many horrible interpretations of characters. But they make a complete mess of Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool in particular and the character is given an unforgivable disservice.

Extremely formulaic and predictable. Also, the ending was horrible! I'm old school reading X-Men and Wolverine comics and I don't remember Professor Xavier showing up on 3-Mile Island and rescuing a bunch of mutants. One last thing: Why was Ryan Reynolds in this movie? He is the poor man's Dane Cook, which would be okay if Dane Cook wasn't already the poor man's Dane Cook! Bottom line: take the $10 you'd spend on this and buy yourself a couple of hits of LSD. You'll have a way better time.

An absurd attempt of conciling contradictory stories of 'Origin' and 'Weapon X' as well as Singer's X-Men and some individual producers ideas results in a boring and slightly pathetic sequence of explosions, fights striving to be impressive and failing and characters pulling faces and growling at each other. It's quite annoying to think how much better it could be if only producers chose to adapt 'Weapon X' instead of aiming at PG-13 rating with it's laughable violence and romance.

If this had been R-rated, it would have been much better. The exciting thing about Wolverine is his ability to slice and dice anything and anyone, and this film doesn't even show the blood from his claws coming out. Schreiber makes a fun and convincingly bloodthirsty bad guy, and the film would be much weaker without him and Jackman--both good actors there, but the story is weak, and the film doesn't take the time to establish things before it tries to be dramatic about them.

I wanted to say something positive about this, but all the good parts of the movie were apparently seen as detrimental by the producers because they were done away with in the first 15 minutes (I'm talking mainly about purposeful mutant-power action sequences, Dominic Monaghan and an audible and recognizable Ryan Reynolds). The rest is a messy jumble of Wolverine's greatest hits, dead lovers, homoerotic wrestling matches with Schreiber, and "times he yelled at the sky with his arms splayed."

Watching the workprint, I thought that the finished film's top-end potential was to equal X3. Sadly, with finalized effects and NO additional scenes (you lie, Fox), this turd now claims the crown of worst in the series. Schreiber is awesome, but he's the only fleshed-out character in the film that isn't the titular hero. Jackman is just hitting stride with the character, and Hood has a solid visual eye, but the plot is non-existent. "Infuriatingly retarded" is the best way to describe it.

Hugh Jackman is wasted in this attempt to bring a standalone Wolverine movie. It's difficult to explain why the producers just didn't ask the director to adapt the original source material which would have been fine. There are lots of ridiculous CGI effects (Blob) here and Liev Schreiber just doesn't work as sabertooth. Ryan Reynolds is a good Deadpool but once again it seems like the director was confused as to what to do with him. Waste of effort for everyone involved.

I love Hugh Jackman, but not even him running naked through a field could save this. The action scenes were badly (!) made; I'm pretty sure I spotted a shot which hadn't been colorgraded in the last fighting scene (red sky - green-ish sky - then back to red in next clip). And what have you done to Deadpool?! The merc with a mouth - now without mouth! Well done.

This movie is more of prequel for the X-Men movies. I saw this movie with literally no expectation which is why it probably got a higher score than what I should have given. The biggest flaw of this movie is that it truly doesnt focus on the life of Wolverine but ends up as a melting pot for many characters. The one actor who really stood out was Liev Schreiber who plays the role of Sabertooth.

There's quite a bit of variance from the comics, which I suppose is to be expected, but there are also some continuity issues with the other movies as like a standing Xavier and a teen age Snow Queen in the 70s (she was an adult in the 60s in First Class). Worth watching, so long as you know it doesn't make any sense even within the X-Men universe.

Starts out as an origin story for Wolverine based on the rather underwhelming comic but at some point it shifts to being a prequel for the trilogy. Basically it knows where it begins and it knows where it has to end, but the result is much as if someone attempted to seriously write out what comes after stealing everybody's underpants but before profit. Far too many clichés, to little humour, uninspired casting and Reynolds is not Deadpool and never will be.

Hugh Jackman needs to stop playing Wolverine. He has made the character into a caricature.

The worst X-Men movie by a healthy stretch. The bad things are obvious, so I'll just mention what really bothered me: When the hell is this film taking place? We go straight from Vietnam to. . .the modern age? But that can't possibly be right. How did NO ONE think of this? Only saving graces are Dominic Monaghan and Taylor Kitsch.

About on par with X3, Wolverine is a story we nerds wanted to see told. Problem is we wanted it told right. The life and times of James 'Wolverine' Howlett has been mashed together with other Marvel characters in such a way that makes us nerds cringe. The action comes off more cheesy than ever before, and somehow the CG feels like a step down from previous films. It's ultimately senseless action, nothing really substantial.

Bit of a mess. Jackman and Schreiber are fine, and there are some decent moments, but the clumsy plotting and dodgy effects let it down.

Wolverine is known for being a badass. Gambit is known for throwing playing cards. Deadpool is known for his nonstop mouth. So what do they do? Wolverine is a giant pussy. Gambit throws cards once. And they sewed Deadpool's mouth shut. The stuff in between that wasn't that interesting either.

I've come to the realization that critics can't be trusted anymore because for some reason over-the-top without irony is no longer acceptable. Definitely better than Last Stand and possibly better than X-Men 1. This is a serious X-Men road movie, there are badass mutants popping up each scene being badass with a surprising amount of character, depth, and mythology thrown in for good measure. The experience of watching this movie is not unlike reading a 6 issue comic series.

Middle entertaining. But is not good enough to be relevant. The story was not well prepared, and unnecessarily change the true story of the comics. Hugh Jackman as Wolverine is good, but the others characters does not are much convince.

Dour and self-serious, giving the title tough an inner anguish generated by a particularly pronounced case of sibling rivalry that marinated for decades. It's a movie delivered through tightly gritted teeth, so relentlessly tense and angry that it's a wonder that any of the people in the film can even breathe.

Straying so far from the canon inevitably reduces this flick to popcorn, and leaves it entertaining to the eye, but soulless as a film.

I do not understand the vitriolic hatred for this film. It's a quick action movie with some good emotional beats and fun action. But then again, I liked the third X-MEN movie. Also, Ryan Reynolds was the best part.

The opening scenes are really cool and there's plenty of fun throughout the movie, but some scenes were so over the top to just end any suspension of belief, and some of the special effects are incredibly out of place (Sabretooth leaping). That and I hate Ryan Reynolds' face.

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

I don't get all the whining. Sure, the ending is very iffy, perhaps the whole island part in general, but it was still a fun piece of film and I enjoyed my time with the mutents.

I was told it was terrible, but it wasn't. It wasn't good either. Just a movie with no plot and some fun action. Seems to retcon a lot of stuff, and introduce things that will need to be retconned, but I can deal with that. Wouldn't recommend watching it unless you have a good reason to.

Mostly entertaining, not nearly as good as the first two X-Men movies. Jackman is good as Wolverine.
