Finally.

An X-Men movie that doesn’t rely on special effects ejaculation or a star studded cast. Marvel appears to be getting things right with this gritty prelude – it actually has a script!

Follow Wolverine through a life of turmoil and endless combat. Watch him executed, resurrected and turned from man to beast as he battles with Sabretooth, Gambit and hordes of private soldiers.

With adamantine rage, Hugh Jackman rips the Wolverine saga from the comic book (with a few changes) and brings this legendary chapter of the X-Men mythos to the screen. Major William Stryker (Danny Huston) assembles a hand-picked group of mutants to carry out special missions, dubbing the project ‘Weapon X’. Wolverine refuses to join until his brother (later Sabertooth) murders his woman. Wolverine goes all out for revenge and lets Stryker turn him into a weapon. A myriad of old favourites are included: Cyclops, Agent Zero, Silver Fox and Blob join the ruckus making Wolverine the violent superhero orgy that everyone was waiting for.
