CAST
Hugh Jackman as Wolverine was the perfect fit and no one could replace him surely as the Logan. As in every action movie, the action took the centre stage and acting was not so special but also not bad. There were good performances from Liev Schrebier who plays Sabretooth ( Victor Creed) in the movie.
STORY
The story as name suggests deals with origination of Wolverine, the most dangerous and ferocious Xmen.
SPOILER WARNING! - Full Plot right here
In 1845 in North-Western Territory, British North America, young James Howlett sees his father John Howlett killed by his friend Victor Creed's father, Thomas Logan . In an act of vengeance, James kills the elder Logan using bone claws which have grown out of his hands. With his dying breath, Logan tells James that he is also his son. James and Victor run away, pursued by a torch-wielding mob. They promise to look out for each other.
In the years that follow, adult brothers James and Victor are seen fighting together in the American Civil War, World War I, World War II, and eventually the Vietnam War. Their regenerative powers keep them from being killed in the battlefield. James is forced to act as a check on Victor's increasing rage and ferocity. In Vietnam, Victor kills a superior officer after being stopped from raping a girl, and James and Victor are sentenced to death by firing squad, though their unique regenerative abilities keep them alive.
Major William Stryker approaches the two mutants and offers them membership in Team X, his elite group of mutants.The brothers join the group and are sent to the team's first mission: Invade the headquarters of a diamond trafficking operation in Lagos, Nigeria, to retrieve a meteorite. Afterwards, Stryker and the team brutally interrogate people from a nearby village to learn where the meteorite was found. James is disgusted by the murders committed by his teammates and abandons the group.
Six years afterward, James -- now going by his last name, Logan -- is a lumberjack living with his girlfriend Kayla Silverfox. Victor locates him and kill his girlfriend. So, Logan seeking revenge approaches Stryker. Stryker has Logan's skeletal system reinforced with adamantium, a virtually indestructible metal retrieved from the meteorite found by Team X. Before the procedure, Logan asks for his new dog tags to say "Wolverine," a reference to a story that Kayla told him. After the procedure, Stryker orders Wolverine's memory to be erased, but Wolverine overhears this and flees. Stryker orders Agent Zero to hunt him down and take his head off.
Thus begins Wolverine's quest to kill Victor and revenge his girlfriend's death.
Overall the story is very interesting and is full of action sequences. The movie has various scenes which seem over the top and lack originality.
And you wont believe there are scenes which are copied from Rajnikanth movies(no offense to any of his fan ) but there is a scene where a bullet is cut into two by a sword and hits 2 people and they die
Watch Out for Gambit, Cyclops, Storm and other X-men who make a cameo sort of role in the movie.
Better than x2 and X3:the last stand, if u are a x-men follower, this movie surely deserves to be seen, for others you can just go to watch some cliched Hollywood action movie.
