X-Men Origins Wolverine

SPOILER ALERT!!!!! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN X-MEN ORIGINS WOLVERINE!!!!!

When I went to go see this movie during the night of its first showing Friday at 12 AM, I didn't know what to expect. I thought that this movie was just going to show how wolverine was made and how he ended up joining the X-Men. That was basically the raw story-line only. This movie went to great detail about where Logan was born, how he was raised and how he became part of the military project that turned him into the indestructible Wolverine. This movie had many plot twists from beginning to end like; Logan’s brother is actually Sabertooth (Victor), he actually agreed to have the Adamentium put into his body in a military experiment, how Striker was using the mutants he captured to create the Ultimate Fighting weapon, Weapon 11.
At the beginning film Logan was seen as a frail, young boy in bed that had some type of illness. He thought he was an only child too. Until, the night when his real father came to the home of his foster parents house and killed his foster father. That was when Logan discovered that he and Victor were brothers. They both had the ability of invulnerability to harm and they aged a lot slower than normal humans. This threw the brothers into a series of wars, the civil war, WW I, WW II, and even Vietnam. They fought in all these wars received countless injuries in battle only to have them heal rapidly in a matter of seconds.
When the present day military found out about Logan and his brother they wanted to exploit his powers by putting the brothers on a military team lead by Colonel Striker. Colonel striker went to Africa with his team in search of Adamentium, a very rare space metal that is practically indestructible. The team was lead to a small village said to have found the Adamentium meteor that was when Striker would have needlessly killed individuals to get what he wanted most. That was where Logan had enough and he left the Military for good. But as time passed and he thought he would never have to fight again Victor came back and ruined his life that he worked so hard to make real. This lead to Logan’s need for power and Striker said he would give it to him. So Logan agreed to the painful process of having liquid Adamentium molded to his bones to make him more powerful and indestructible. Logan then became the Wolverine we all know with the three Adamentium blades that come out of his fists.
Striker only agreed to let Logan go through this painful operation for data on his project, Weapon 11. Weapon 11 was an individual who was infused with all of the powers of other captured mutants and would obey any order from striker. He was to be the Ultimate Fighting weapon crafted for military usage. Weapon 11 was eventually created but was defeated by Logan and his brother Victor. That was one of the most action packed parts of the movie. Sadly thoughat Striker’s hand Logan loses his memories and that is why in the previous X-Men movies he does not know anything about his past.
Overall though I would say this movie was packed with excitement and plot twists, these were only a few from the movie there were so many more. I vote this as a MUST SEE MOVIE, if you have not seen it yet you had better go see it. Because I think that your view of Wolverine will have changed dramatically.
