Wolverine's origin story. It's a pretty awful and incompetently film and time hasn't helped. Even things like the CGI and action scenes suck. It's also dumbed down for the kiddy audience (compare Wolverine's procedure here with how brutal it looked in the flashbacks in X2. Don't know how much you can blame the filmmakers though since this was apparently a very studio driven movie. Hugh Jackman still gives a strong performance though (along with Liev Schreiber as Sabretooth) and the opening credits scene showing them fighting through numerous wars was genuinely intriguing. Known for having a full workprint leaked online one month before release. It was fascinating to see the incomplete effects and how they use music from other movies as temp music.

It’s alright. By no means great but I always felt it was judged a little too harshly.

It was written by a guy who once said "Themes are for 8th grade book reports". Kinda says it all.

It's a pretty bad film that makes X-Men: The Last Stand look respectable. Hugh Jackman is good as Wolverine, and Liev Schreiber does just as well as Sabretooth. However, the visual effects and poor depiction of Deadpool have aged poorly.

The CGI looked bad since the day it was released.

Really weak film. Not awful but disappointing.
