Released in 2009, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, directed by Gavin Hood, is a spin-off that delves into the origins of Logan, aka Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), one of the most beloved characters in the X-Men franchise. The film offers brutal action and a glimpse into the tortured past of the mutant.

The story traces Logan’s journey from the 19th century to the modern era, focusing on his relationship with his half-brother, Victor Creed (Liev Schreiber), and his involvement in the Weapon X program that grants him an adamantium skeleton. Haunted by betrayal and loss, Logan battles foes like William Stryker (Danny Huston) and other mutants, including Gambit (Taylor Kitsch).

X-Men Origins: Wolverine shines with intense action, such as the showdown atop a nuclear reactor, and Jackman’s charismatic performance, which brings deep emotion to the character. However, the plot and development of some characters, like Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds), drew criticism. Still, themes of revenge and identity remain compelling.

Running at 107 minutes, the film is an adrenaline-fueled adventure that enriches Wolverine’s mythology. Though not as polished as other X-Men entries, X-Men Origins: Wolverine remains entertaining and a must-watch for Logan fans eager to explore the roots of his story.
