X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

Director: Gavin Hood

Starring: Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Danny Huston

A look at Wolverine’s early life, in particular his time with the government squad Team X and the impact it will have on his later years.

Incredibly entertaining. From an action and visuals point of view, this is my second favorite in the series (my favorite still being ‘X-Men 3: The Last Stand’). The visuals are simply impressive, to say the least. Liev Schreiber makes a fantastic, convincing antagonist. Great cast, great music and all-round great production. To call if fascinating is almost too mild a word.
