X-Men Origins: Wolverine

After watching the Wolverine movie, I looked back at all the things I liked about the movie and the things I did not like. Througout the entire movie, I was really upset with the character Stryker. I didn't like how Stryker was so manipulative of every character and their powers. For example, Stryker made a deal with Kayla Silverfox about her sister's captivation, and when Kayla had done what Stryker needed her to do, Stryker didn't stick to his words and refused to free Kayla's sister. Although I didn't like Kayla's character at one point for going along with Stryker's evil plan, I wasn't so upset with her character anymore in the end because she made up for it and she told Wolverine the truth. And the truth was that she did it for her sister and that deep down she really did love Wolverine. Too bad Kayla had to get shot and die in the end, but it showed how good of a person she was when she could've just seduced Stryker to shoot himself in the head, but instead she tells him to just walk away and to keep walking until his feet starts to bleed, and then to just keep walking after. It made me feel sad because after Stryker shot Wolverine in the head multiple times, once Wolverine saw Kayla, he didn't even know who she was since he had forgotten everything.

I thought Agent Zero was really cute, but he was still a horrible character in my eyes since he shot those two innocent old people who was helping Wolverine out. That really made me sad when the old lady got shot out of nowhere. I thought that Agent Zero should have been smart enough not to go and chase after Wolverine because just because he's a really good shooter, doesn't make him invincible like Wolverine. Wolverine can get shot at a million times and not die, versus Agent Zero who can shoot real well and get shot at and die that very second. Therefore, although Agent Zero was very cute, he was just not match for Wolverine.

Next, what I did like about the movie was when it was revealed that Sabertooth did not really kill Kayla and when Sabertooth saved Wolverine in the end, helping Wolverine fight the character who played Stryker's mutated son. I felt it was really sweet when Sabertooth told Wolverine how they would always look out for each other, before he went off his way. Finally, after watching the movie, my favorite characters became Wolverine, Gambit, the two old couple, and of course, Professor Xavier. Throughout the entire movie Wolverine was always a fair and good guy, there wasn't a time during the movie where I didn't like him. Gambit also because he helped Wolverine get into the island, and he was cute. Next, I chose the two old couple who got shot because they were so sweet and caring towards Wolverine, and not a lot of people would reach out a hand to anyone as much as they did to Wolverine, even after Wolverine broke their bathroom sink and all. And lastly, another favorite character of mine was Professor Xavier because he took in all the mutants and if you watched X-Men 1, it shows how he took care of all the mutants as if they were all his kids and I liked that he treated all of them that way compared to how Stryker treated them. Stryker treated them like animals and I felt that was so wrong. In conclusion, even with my least favorite characters, I thought that the movie X-men Origins: Wolverine was a pretty good movie, and I would definitely watch it again or get it on dvd once it comes out.
