A review of X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Last night some friends and I went to see the Wolverine movie.  Now I'm not such a huge fan of the X-Men movie series, but I really enjoyed this film.  I could really like the Logan (Wolverine, played by Hugh Jackman) character enough to really care if he gets killed or not. 

My biggest issue was the issue of invincibility.  At the beginning, Wolverine is pretty darn hard to injure.  In fact, he's immortal.  So, why go to the trouble of injecting his bones with adamantium?  He was already a killing machine with no shortcomings.

There were many compositing shots that were very fake-looking.   At the end of the film, a group of people are walking to a helicopter across a field.  The scene looked so badly composited, so utterly fake, that I wondered why they showed it at all, let alone twice!

But overall if you want a pretty compelling action-adventure flick, it's worth a look.
