X-men Origins : Wolverine

It takes you back in time where a boy whose hands can retract extra long and strong claws. No manicurist will do his business. Not really an outright action movie, more of telling wolverine's story. Seemingly borned a mutant, James, he even have a brother, Victor who hungers more. They ran away after James killed his own father, which had killed the man whom James though was his father.

They joined the army. Victor got carried away trying to kill the innocence and killed an officer, James protected him so both were caught. Major stryker took them into his special squad of men having special abilities. Their deeds got more and more out of hand, James walked out while stryker searching for some metal compound.
He did find it years later. And James was living in some canadian mountain with Emma, but stryker need James to be injected with adamantium. Only problem was, he need him to do it willingly.

So he told him someone was out killing people from the old team. Then emma was dead but not really dead, it did bluffed James. He knew it was Victor, he found him but couldnt defeat him.

That drove this anger to the maximum, thus allowing strkyer to inject the indestructible compound into him. It succeeded but before Stryker can erase him memory, wolverine broke free and escape. Stryker send agent zero, some one shot one kill guy, but of course couldnt killed wolverine.

He started to check where stryker and victor were. And found they were in cahoots in the beginning, Victor was capturing mutants for him to experiment, in return he wanted the compound in him too. Wolverine found them on the "island" with the help of Gambit, who never appeared in the other x-men movies. He can manipulate kinetic energy and have powerful card throwing/combat skills.

On the island, he found out Emma did not die and was a mutant too. She didnt meant to ... but her sister was in Stryker hands. Quite a skill she has, can turned hers skin into diamonds. Wolverine freed all the captured mutants. Soon, a battle ensue, strkyer unleashed a not yet finish mutant, which supposedly had a few powers.

Well, he won with some help from Victor but he did get his memory erased when stryker shot him in the head with the adamantium bullets. And Prof X appeared to take the mutants away. 7/10
