But it was an X-MEN so of course waited for the DVD, which came out on September 15. And I don’t understand what the negative feel is about!  I certainly thought the film was a splendid prequel to the X-Men series, particularly Wolverine’s origins and history. I didn’t religiously follow X-Men in the early days so I was only familiar with Wolverine’s background, but the movie put the missing pieces together for me – who he was, why Victor Creed/Sabretooth loves to hate him,  how he lost his memory, and of course what the Weapons X program was all about. Now I don’t know if there were any discrepancies between the comics and this film, but X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE tied in well with the earlier X-Men film franchises. I wish they would make prequels of all the major characters on X-Men!

The only fault I see is that even at 107 minutes long, X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE was not enough to cover Wolverine’s past life in more detail. But that’s really a fault of cramming a legend into film. If Wolverine’s life was played out in the comics, it might have been drawn out longer.

I got the single-disc DVD with an extra “Wolverine Unleashed: The Complete Origins” featurette which was basically about Hugh Jackman’s role as producer and the title role. Belatedly, I should have gotten the Ultimate 2-Disc DVD instead, for 5$ more, since it had more features and extras.

So here is a listing of what you can find inside the 2-disc special edition and the blu-ray disc. If you’re into features, the extra discs would be worth it. I think the DVD is worth owning too, if you follow the X-Men saga.

The X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Two-Disc Special Edition + Digital Copy) include the following:

• Commentaries by Director Gavin Hood and the producers
• A conversation with X-Men creators Stan Lee and Len Wein
• Deleted scenes
• Alternate sequences and scenes

The “X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Two-Disc Edition + Digital Copy) [Blu-ray] ” include everything in the special edition plus

Wolverine is perhaps the most intriguing character in the X-Men series. His violent past is matched only by his personality, and he could easily have been villain and and anti-hero. The upcoming movie “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” teases out what made Logan bare his adamantine claws before he became one of the ‘good guys’.

The film goes back 20 years before X-Men, when Logan was part of a CIA black ops program that sought to create supersoldiers under the Weapons Plus Program. Logan’s hunt for his girlfriend’s killer leads him back to Team X and Sabretooth.

Directed by Gavin Hood, “”X-Men Origins: Wolverine” stars Hugh Jackman in the title role. Jackman, who also produces the movie, packed some serious muscle for the role. (Check out Jackman’s impressive bod as he strips off at the LAX airport security.)

Jackman treated fans to a sneak preview of the movie in the Comic Con last October. Right after Christmas, 20th Century Fox / Marvel released the official version of the movie and features the other cast and characters of Team X-

Liev Schreiber as Victor Creed /Sabretooth, Danny Huston as William Stryker, Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson / Deadpool, Lynn Collins as Kayla Silver Fox, and Taylor Kitsch as Gambit.
