X-Men Origins: Wolverine | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Joshua Rothkopf Time Out Revenge soon grips Logan when his love is taken away, but Tsotsi director Gavin Hood seems bored by the sibling rivalry; even the Frankensteinian weaponizing of a human body feels rushed. Rated: 2/5 Nov 6, 2018 Full Review X-Men Origins: Wolverine | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Donald Clarke Irish Times Wolverine starts with a roar before sliding into a chaotic, preachy mess. Nov 6, 2018 Full Review X-Men Origins: Wolverine | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Roger Moore Tribune News Service Adequate Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 8, 2013 Full Review X-Men Origins: Wolverine | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand It’s violent and cruel and shrouded in darkness, filled with the complicated backstories and the weirdly incestuous origin details from the comic books that [are] confusing and confounding and no substitute for a story. Apr 6, 2024 Full Review X-Men Origins: Wolverine | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Rated: 2/4 Sep 19, 2023 Full Review X-Men Origins: Wolverine | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Even when the hand-to-hand combat looks impressive, the stunts get far-fetched, pushing the special effects to the limit.

Eric S The movie is entertaining and good origin story for Wolverine. What I dislike is how Deadpool looks. But considering this is where we got RR for DP, it is still a pass for me. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/16/24 Full Review Dan-san S A scraped up story of the origins of the wolverine. At least introduced the dream of Reynolds as Deadpool that ended up being the meme. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review Dono T vary good and nonstop action Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review Alec B Look, you cannot ask your audience to invest in a character arc that is erased by the finale. A better way to do this would be to have two plot threads (one in present day and one in the past) that intersect. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/23/24 Full Review John T. H I got a little bitty soft spot for it. but yeah its bad... Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/12/24 Full Review Rami A An origin narrative for a beloved character is always an intriguing concept, but presenting it poorly will disappoint fans. This film had me enthralled from the beginning, but after the second, my thrill went off.Spider-Man, Superman, Batman, and Iron Man all have more amazing origin stories, but Wolverine does not.
