Jenn's  review on Wolverine

 

Many people have heard of X-Men. Now it's time to hear the story of how the Main Character came to be. Wolverine came out May 1st 2009, and like millions of people worldwide I stood in line waiting to get my ticket and a good seat on opening day.  The movie stars Hugh Jackman as the main character. Shockingly enough unlike most superhero prequels this one actually grasped and kept my attention throughout the whole entire movie.  It begins with Logan (aka Wolverine) as a child in Canada. What came as a shock to me was that Wolverine was born in the 19th century as James Howett. HOw did he get the name Logan wasnt really explained.  In the movie his brother sabertooth (played by Liev Schreiber) kills Wolverine's love interest and he trys to avenge her death. However sabertooth is working for the man that actually made wolverine the way we know him today. The only thing I was confused about during the movie was, in the 1st X-Men movie Sabertooth and Wolvering go about the entire as if they never knew each other...hmmm. All in All this movie gives me hope for the rest of the Summer.
