Two mutant brothers, Logan and Victor, born 200 years ago, suffer childhood trauma and have only each other to depend on. Basically, they're fighters and killers, living from war to war through U.S. history. In modern times, a U.S. colonel, Stryker, recruits them and other mutants as commandos. Logan quits and becomes a logger, falling in love with a local teacher. When Logan refuses to rejoin Stryker's crew, the colonel sends the murderous Victor. Logan now wants revenge.
I've never been a big fan of X-Men and superhero movies, generally. I managed to enjoy X-Men 2 and First Class, though. Origins starts off as an entertaining film and I actually liked the opening scenes. But after the opening... the movie just goes downhill. It becomes full of cliche lines and takes itself so seriously, it becomes unintentionally funny! And I don't mean that in a good way. It becomes boring and full of dull plot twists that just leaves the audience uninterested. The entire plot is just: battles, special effects and cliche lines. And this procedure goes on through the rest of the movie. The direction is also mediocre. The good things about this movie is Hugh Jackman's over-the-top, but decent performance and the special effects. I was uninterested in Wolverine's backstory and I didn't think the direction was anything special. But that's just me. If you're a big fan of the X-Men films, you may like this film.
VERDICT: Mediocre and somewhat dull superfhero flick with a decent performance by Hugh Jackman.
