"X-Men Origins: Wolverine" *** (out of four): Reliably action-packed first attempt at an X-Men origin story, succeeds largely based on having Hugh Jackman back behind the claws and facial hair.

As the title hints, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" aims to show us how the adamantium-clawed Wolverine character from the "X-Men" comics came to be. That this story has been all-but-told already in the three previous "X-Men" movies doesn't help this one. Nor does its rehashed script and gaggle of extraneous characters. What does help is Hugh Jackman, once again donning the claws and muttonchops, and a director with a surprising knack for action.

I really like the scenery in this flick, ill have to visit the area one day.
I'm really on the fence about seeing this one. I've been a big xmen fan since childhood but seen so many bad reviews of this film that i cant but have bad expectations.
