Like always, whenever there’s a new movie, I would make an effort to watch it in the cinema either on the day of its release or a few days after. So, I went to catch the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie early May. Of course I wouldn’t want to miss as there are many hot guys in the movies. Hehe. Directed by Gavin Hood, the movie starring Hugh Jackman as one of the main characters, along with Liev Schreiber, Will.I.Am, Ryan Reynolds, Danny Hudson, Tailor Kitsch and Lynn Collins. Although this is the fourth installment of X-Men film series, it is actually my first time watching an X-Men series. I know I sound ridiculous and somewhat like a loser but that’s just me. Hehe. Surprisingly, it wasn’t bad after all. I actually liked it. I enjoy the story line and I think the effect that they have is kind of cool. The movie has the feeling of love/hate between the same character which is Logan/James/Wolverine. It makes the story line interesting and very hard to tell. The movie started with the mutants fighting in the Civil War, two World Wars and the Vietnam Wars in the first 20 minutes. It gives the insight about what the story is about way before what happened. For a first timer to catch an X-Men movie, I thought that it was good. I really like the actions and how the effects works.
Overall, I define this movie as fast paced spectacle filled with action, romance, humor, drama and technical effects. Not forgetting with good sound effects. By the way, now I am very particular when it comes to sound. I pay great attention following the sound and music in any movie / video clips. Haha
Another thing, I heard there has been a leaked workprint of the full version with unfinished effects shots, alternate sound effects and a few other aspects. Both versions are the same which runs 107 minutes. Many said that the leaked version looks stupid and funny. I wanted to have a look for myself but unfortunately, I couldn’t find any. Maybe it was already taken out. If you haven’t got the chance to watch, just click below for a quick preview of the show. Enjoy!
