Movie Review of Wolverine


I like science fiction and action movie adventures and for the first rendition of Wolverine this movie shows lots of potential with the special effects. It broadens the scope on how talented Wolverine is with his special mutated abilities. It was never clearly stated how he was a mutant to begin with ; except for, his father wasn't his real father. It was the man that talked mean to little Jimmy Logan. Jimmy Logan and his brother Vince were both mutants who wouldn't die. They started out in the old West and went to fight together in the Civil War. The scene keeps changing from World War 1 to World War 2, the Korean War and then the Vietnam War. Jimmy who was just know as Logan joined a special unit along with his brother after being shot for killing a Senior Officer. Jimmy's brother "Vince" turned bad after the special unit disbanded. The special unit was disbanded because Wolverine didn't want to kill any longer. Jimmy (AKA: Wolverine) went to live in the Canadian Mountains and had a girl friend who was secretly setting him up , because her sister was still being held by the leader of the special services. The girl looked like she was killed by Jimmy's brother Vince, when she was really hiding out at "Three Mile Island" along with the other mutants to form a Super New Mutant. Jimmy Logan (AKA: Wolverine) allowed for an indestructible substance to be placed in his body so he could do extraordinary things. Jimmy later figures out who the bad guys truly are. He also saves a bunch of new mutants who are taken away by the future Patrick Stewart character who is a Doctor. At the end of the movie, Jimmy looses his girl friend again and destroys one of the reactors, but leaves an opening for the Super Mutant to come back and make another movie. I like Hugh Jackman as an actor and a good looking guy. He plays the part well. I enjoyed the movie and it leaves room for future episodes to occur. It seems likely Hugh Jackman will be back for another "Wolverine."

    Well, that was quite a movie review. I wasn't familiar with the actor Hugh Jackman. I couldn't connect the name with a face. I am sure that I have seen him in movies before because some of the movies that he was in I have seen. I went to Wikepedia to see what he looked like.

    It seems that Australia produces a lot of actors. Movies where the story jumps back and forth timewise is always a bit confusing because I am usually not sure what time frame they are in and it messes up the continuity of the movie on me. But most important of all did you get the traditional popcorn and a coke. To me, a trip to the movies is just not the same without popcorn and a soda. Plus at West Oaks mall the movie theater is in the food court and I always make the rounds of the eateries to try their samples. Yesterday I was at West Oaks mall to get Mary a gift for Mother's Day and I made the rounds in the food court. I had two teriyaki chicken samples, one bourbon chicken sample and one lemon chicken sample. Not bad, practically a meal and at the very least a light snack. Have a nice day and enjoy life.
