Plot:-
X-MEN
ORIGINS: WOLVERINE, the first chapter in the X-Men
saga, unites Wolverine with several other legends
of the X-Men universe, in an epic revolution that
pits the mutants against powerful forces determined
to eliminate them.
Hugh Jackman reprises the role that made him a
superstar, as the fierce fighting machine who
possesses amazing healing powers, adamantium claws,
and a primal fury known as berserker rage. X-MEN
ORIGINS: WOLVERINE stays true to the tone of the
X-Men motion picture franchise, continuing the
films’ balance between spectacle and reality,
while heightening the emotions and relationships.
The film also introduces a team of mutants, including
several whose appearances in the movie series
have been long anticipated. Movie audiences will
meet Team X, a covert military cadre comprised
entirely of mutants. Its members are: Wolverine;
his brother Victor Creed, aka Sabretooth, a feral
being of unimaginable power; Wade Wilson, later
to be known as Deadpool, a high-tech mercenary
skilled at swordplay; Agent Zero, an expert tracker
and lethal marksman; Wraith, a teleporter; Fred
J. Dukes, also known as The Blob, a morbidly obese
and super-strong behemoth; and Bradley, who can
manipulate electricity. Leading them is William
Stryker, a figure introduced in “X2”
but whose origins and motives are now fully explored,
for it is Stryker’s complex relationship
with Wolverine that defines much of Logan’s
past …and future.
X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE also explores Logan’s
tragic romance with Kayla Silverfox. Kayla’s
fate triggers Logan’s involvement with the
ominous Weapon X program, a top secret, billion-dollar
military experiment, in which Wolverine and other
mutants are key players. They include Gambit,
a young Scott Summers (later to be known as Cyclops);
a beautiful young mutant named Emma Frost; and
the aforementioned Deadpool, against whom Wolverine
faces his ultimate challenge.
While the three previous X-Men films were set
in the not-too-distant future, the main story
of X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE – as the saga’s
first chapter – is set prior to the events
of those pictures, in the not-too-distant past,
sometime in the 1970s. But the epic sweep of the
new film also encompasses flashbacks that span
150 years. It has a scale and ambition new to
even this high-reaching series. “We wanted
to exceed expectations in every way,” sums
up star and producer Hugh Jackman. “We couldn’t
just make a very good movie; it had to be much
more than that.”
To that end, X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE provides
a great roller coaster ride of adventure and action,
while tapping into complex themes and rich and
powerful emotional conflicts that have been hallmarks
of the X-Men films. “Yes, the film needs
to be visually stunning, and the action has to
be amazing and hard-hitting,” says director
Gavin Hood, whose 2005 film “Tsotsi”
won the Academy Award® for best foreign language
film. “But you’ve also got to buy into
the story and characters. The core idea of the
film is that it’s about someone who is not
comfortable with who he is, who’s at war
with his own nature. That’s an interesting
character to explore. The theme of being at war
with one’s own nature, fuels and energizes
the film so it becomes more than just action for
its own sake.”
Jackman was convinced that Hood was the right
man for the job after he viewed Hood’s modestly-budgeted
“Tsotsi,” a penetrating drama set in
Johannesburg about a hardened teenage criminal
whose life is changed when he becomes emotionally
attached to an infant left in the back seat of
his car. “The character Tsotsi was at war
with himself, just like Wolverine is,” says
Jackman. “I got carried away by Tsotsi’s
journey, and by Gavin’s instincts for character
and story.
“The characters have always been at the heart
of the X-Men comics and movies,” Jackman
continues. “People connect with and relate
to them.”
Indeed, when comics legends Stan Lee and Jack
Kirby created the X-Men over 40 years ago, they
shaped characters and stories with drama and conflict.
The X-Men were an unusual heroic group –
at times sarcastic, antisocial, and clearly flawed
– yet sympathetic when battling the demons
of their lives, or taking on powerful villains
in their universe of special powers.
What the
critics say:-
Once again, Director
Ridley Scott proves to be as professional as one
can be. The recreation of ancient Rome is splendid,
with all its magnificent buildings and atmosphere
and he is able to show with all brightness the
greatness of the Roman Empire, with its political
problems and military discipline, and love and
treason, of hate and jealousy, that still have
a place in our world today. But the story has
a glow of its own, to which all the beautiful
scenery (believe me, it's awesome!!!) and great
cinematography are just balancing factors. The
plot is a rich one, that is as dynamic as it is
present. He once again, after Blade Runner, 1492,
and others helps us visit the depths of the human
soul, which remains the same over all our historical
and social experience. Even the fights, are displayed
in such a way that all the blood is quite discrete,
but still, making us feel like screaming and jumping
out of our seats. I would also like to point out
the performances of the cast, that is surprisingly
good. We have some actors and actresses, who are
not Hollywood icons, but are are greatly able
to move the audience among screams and tears.
All in all, we have guys like Russel Crowe, who
are coming out to be part of a new and extremely
promising harvest of people who are making each
time more fans around the world. Well, you should
see for yourself!
