Rawwwwrrrrr. *shing*

Logan (Hugh Jackman) and Victor (Liev Schreiber) are special.
They seems to be stronger than other kids and can't seem to get hurt.
It's also obvious that they don't age normally because they've fought in countless wars together spanning decades apart.

Government agent William Stryker (Danny Huston) and his lackey Agent Zero (Daniel Henney) recruit the 2 to join Team X for the government.
So along with other mutants like John Wraith (Will i Am), The Blob (Kevin Durand), Bolt (Dominic Monaghan) and Wade Wilson aka Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds), they carry out secret missions for Stryker - many of which are ruthless killing missions which Logan is sick of doing and walks out on the group.

He moves to the Canadian countryside and settles down with a schoolteacher Kayla Silverfox (Lynn Collins) and he thinks things are going well.

But after awhile, it's obvious that Victor is not going to let him off scott-free for walking out on him.
And when Stryker suddenly re-appears and offers Logan the chance of a lifetime to become Wolverine and have his revenge - Logan accepts.

So who's got the ulterior motives here?
Can Logan sniff the bad guys out from the good before it's too late?
Will this movie suck balls?

Unfortunately, it does. A little.
I guess the biggest mistake I made is that I expected them to be loyal to the original comic books but there's no way Hollywood would do that right?

So enjoy this as an action movie. Not a comic book movie.
And looks out for appearances by other mutants you've all been waiting for like Gambit (Taylor Kitsch), Emma Frost (Tahyna Tozzi) and Cyclops (Tim Pocock).

Final Verdict:
