I first saw X-Men Origins - Wolverine in a truly disastrous edition on the PC. The graphics were incomplete, and Hugh Jackman and the rest of the cast and crew were justifiably livid over the release of this pirated edition. Wolverine’s beginnings have shadows of that of Magneto – a repressive family bringing memories of a Nazi concentration camp. A complex relation with a brother who falls astray and a few twists later, one could well be convinced that there was sufficient provocation behind the coming-of-age of a truly angry (young?) man, But then, I don’t think the audience needed any convincing on that front anyway in respect of Wolverine. A watchable movie but superfluous in terms of its contribution to the X-Men franchise
