‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’: Summer Movie PreviewI found an article in Entertainment Weekly (shown left haha) that focused on Hugh Jackman, who I love, so naturally I decided to use it as my current event. The article is an inside look at the movie, and it focuses on Hugh Jackman’s role as wolverine. Even before filming, Jackman had to spend months getting in shape for the role of wolverine. It is important for him that the movie, and his role in it, to be a hit, so he can solidify his fan base. The movie is a spin-off of the X-Men trilogy, and it tells the origin story of wolverine from childhood. The film encountered some problems during shooting in Sydney. One problem happened in March, when an unfinished copy of the movie was leaked online. A source estimated that Fox would lose “tens of millions of dollars.” The film was missing some footage and most of the special effects, but it still cut into the viewing base. Fox is working with the FBI to find the person responsible for leaking the film, but they have not been successful. Even so, Jackman has remained in good spirits and is doing what he can to keep the film on track to be a blockbuster hit. It is important for the film to do well because it has a reported budget of over $165 million, higher than any of the previous X-Men movies.
When I first saw the movie, I had no idea the movie had been leaked before its release, so I learned something new about the movie through that. The article provides a good description of the film, which is character driven, but with a lot of action. I enjoyed the movie, but there were definitely some parts that were flawed. I am not a comic book reader, but I would be interested to find out how true to the marvel comic version of wolverine’s origins the film is. The basic story of him as a child especially might have been different. I think they could have done a lot more about his history, but they wanted to get into the action part of the movie. Also, he stops aging around forty, and that is never explained. There are many problems with the plot of the movie caused by some holes and unexplained circumstances, but it is a fun movie to enjoy for the action.
