So going into this movie I had no idea what to expect considering I have never read any of the comics and vaguely remember the cartoon series. It begins with Logan (Wolverine) sick in bed when he is a kiddo. His brother (Sabertooth) speaks about how he too used to be sick when he was younger…nice foreshadowing… Logan’s pops strolls in and he reassures the little mutant that everything is going to be fine and blah blah blah. I forget exactly what happens but there might have been a loud noise or someone yelling for Logan’s dad? Logan’s Dad then goes downstairs and he ends up getting shot. Wolverine sees his father killed in cold murder and fury takes over. For the first time his not-so blades come out, I would say blades but they are finger nails at the time. Logan charges towards the killer and sticks his blades right into his stomach. Pretty brutal and narly! But a little plot twist comes into effect as Wolverine watches the guy who killed his father die; tell him the truth that he was Wolverine’s true father. So Logan runs faster than Forest Gump and his brother catches up with him and explains to him he did the right thing and that they must always stick together for the fact that normal people will not accept them for who they are.
The movie then has a sweet-as montage with Wolverine and Sabertooth growing up. It shows them fighting in the Vietnam War which was totally awesome. They are just ponning anyone and everyone in their way considering they cannot be hurt with bullets and are mutants. You can slowly see how the two begin to separate as Wolverine with his sense of honor and dignity questions his brother’s unrelenting abuse and need for blood and guts. This comes to a head when Sabertooth is about to kill a lady because she does not know where a special rock is. Wolverine for the first time steps up to his older brother and does not allow him to kill this innocent lady in Africa…I know I skipped some parts, sue me…,…sorry please don’t sue me, sue someone with money like Donald Duck…But the rift is made and Wolverine walks out on the army.
The movie then jumps six years into the future where Logan is now with his hot wife and living in what appears to be the Grand Canyon. The view from his home is simply incredible. The next scene shows his typical life with his wife driving with him to his lumberjacking job and how they love each other so much. He has a very low profile life but his wife knows about his past and that he is a mutant. It is implied that she keeps his secret safe and deeply cares and loves him. Just as everything looks great for our hero, his trouble-free life gets all stirred up. As Mrs. Wolverine is driving to the lumberyard, she sees a man standing in the middle of the road. IT’S SABERTOOTH, ut ohhhh!!!! You do not see the exchange between the two however when Wolverine senses something is wrong and after killing a great gunman that doesn’t deserve to be mention in my movie review, he runs through the woods get to his wife. He finds his wife dead in the middle of field and lets out a frightful howl. From here he swears to get revenge against Sabertooth no matter what.
This when his former general known as Striker comes in and he tells him that he has a way to make him indestructible…sort of like your American Hero 
… The government wants to take this incredible element and implement it into wolverine’s skeletal structure. The process has killed 9 others but they believe that Logan can survive the process, making it project X. He goes through with the operation and ends up dying and that folks is the end of the movie, lol, OF COURSE HE SURVIVES. From here on out Wolverine is unstoppable and the movie has many, AND PETE MARSH MEANS, MANY!!!! plot twists and crazy action scenes that put movies like The Marine and Snakes on a Plane to shame.
This is the must see movie of May 2009, I mean I’ve seen some previews of such films like Star Trek…cough, cough, Stars Wars is like a million and half times better… and I really do not know what else is coming out but I strongly recommend Wolverine. I give it the movie of the month award and has the potential to take the movie of the summer award and if it is lucky, could be nominated for movie of the year. Only if Hugh Jackman promises to do a dance number before my award show. Alrighty folks hope you enjoyed and keep the fan mail coming, I love to respond.
PS, for all the comic nerds that didn’t like the movie, I had to listen to some kid talk about how it didn’t follow the comics and I believe this kid was a super dork, and considering I know I am a dork, that is a pretty harsh comment, this movie was well done and you need to find a new hobby. YAH BOI laying the smacketh down, DOWN!
Payce HOMIES,
Your American Hero,
