Leave your thoughts about X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
| Projection BoothRob HumanickFor pure stupidity, nothing tops the scene in which a mutant falls at a descending rate so as to prolong the showing off of its long-since unimpressive superpower. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderIt's loud, chaotic, and goofy, one of the more negligible entries in the comic-book genre. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallWolverine is a solid start to the ever-lengthening summer movie season, when all that matters is the bang and the bucks paid for it. |
| New York PostLou LumenickThere's no shortage of "wow" moments, but the strong liberal political subtext of the trilogy has largely disappeared. |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigAlthough it's a quintessential popcorn movie, Wolverine is not mindless. Hood and Jackman bring depth to a comic-book tale of anti-heroes with anger issues. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerHow does all this play out for those of us – i.e., me – who have not been staying up nights fretting over the origins of the X-Men and Women? The answer is: Fairly well. |

| NewsBlazePrairie MillerJackman to fans: Butt Out, in this trendy new fangled XXX-Men Chippendales style nudie watch-men package pageant on screen, where amnesiac icon fever rules while expecting the rest of us to excel at memory recall about whatever came before. |
| SSG SyndicateSusan GrangerInconsistent and surly, filled with superfluous sound 'n' fury but signifying very little. |
