NO SPOILERS IF POSSIBLE
A movie that I am anticipating since I read news that a Wolverine is being made. The film will explore Wolverine's life from his tragic childhood to present day. This film is set (according to some sources) 15 years before the first X-Men movie.
The introduction sequence where they display the opening credits of the people starring is IMO one of the best parts of the film where they show Logan and Victor together throughout the years and their participation of the following wars to come e.g. WW1.
The beginning sequence is also the bext part where they feature some of the Team X members performing their moves and show their capabilty such as Wade/Deadpool swinging his swords to deflect bullets; Agent Zero shooting people with pinpoint accuracy.
After the famous 'Weapon X' sequence where Wolverine gets hsi adamantium, the second half of the film, in terms of plot starts to get out of focus. You are introduced to more characters that don't get enough characterisation development in time, and the story starts to get a bit weird. You get the traditional revenge plot, then a 'Final Battle' plot with a unexpected character, and finally the ending feels a bit rushed at the end but is appropiate for many story reasons which either continues in a sequel or in X-Men 1.
During the film, you will see a excellent cameo who has appeared in all X-Men films. During the credits, there are two scenes: one during; and one at the very end.
Overall, the film has lots of great action, some great characters, but the storyline could have been developed a bit more properly. Recommended for comic fans or people who have only seen the X-Men films.
8/10
