X-men 4 / Origins: Wolverine

Im collecting the Wolverine storyline movies. This is one exactly what I wanted, because it is dubbed in Portuguese as well. While the material is not suitable for children, it is an entertaining adult action film. And the digital copy isn't a digital code...literally a copy to be played on your pc, lol. Compared to other versions that offer less for more $$, this version earns the 5☆☆☆☆☆.

Great Product

Love the movie quality.

X-Men Origins: WolverineFor those who waited for this prequel to X-Men, it was worth every moment, every day of anticipation. For those who have never seen X-Men, well, this is a great place to start. In the grand tradition of the comic book, this edition features the origins of The Wolverine, the mutant who is at the core of the storyline. I do not like to get into plot or storyline too heavily. I despise trailers with their 'let's show them the entire movie in split-second sequencing'. It's designed to monetize, not for the viewer. You'll not get that in my reviews either.There have been some excellent renditions of the `Batman', `Spider-man', and `Watchmen' series' in recent years. With just the right mix of CGI, storytelling, and acting, we have reached new levels in the way comic books are depicted on film. Director, Gavin Hood, has taken these tools and designed an outstanding issue in this, the third installment of the series. The bar now rests at a higher level for those who follow. I enjoy director's who compete with their peers. When they get it right, amazing results are often achieved.Like the original comic book series, a tale can be told with the flourish of great graphics, coupled with minimal, but carefully selected text, to achieve a creative and comprehensible story line. The great artist, Jack Kirby (Captain America, Fantastic Four), was the initial artist in the X-Men series. While not the creator of the `Wolverine' character, I believe he would have approved of the camera work in `Wolverine'. There is great stop action framing, perhaps homage to King Kirby. I also love the angles used in shooting. In many cases, the distant view of the entire scene is shown, much like in the comic books.Hugh Jackman stars as `Logan/Wolverine'. He is perfect in every frame. The effort that Jackman has put into this portrayal is clear. He has turned himself into a physical specimen rarely seen in a starring role since Bruce Lee in `Enter The Dragon'. Add to this his powerful ability to project dialogue in any manner and its clear Jackman is far beyond the coveted `triple threat' that most entertainers aspire to be. His turns onstage as `Curly' in Oklahoma, `Peter Allen' on Broadway, and film roles in `Van Helsing' and ` The Prestige' solidify that fact. For good measure, he was the song and dance, comedic host of the 2008 Academy Awards show.There is excellent supporting talent at every turn in this production. Liev Schreiber is particularly nasty as the `hell bent' Victor Creed. Musician, Will.i.Am,Kevin Durand and Taylor Kitsch all lend nice supporting roles as well. I particularly liked Lynn Collins, as Logan's love interest Kayla.Dominic Monaghan (Lost) lit the way as mutant `Bolt'. He was joined by and `A-Team' group of mutants that put on an excellent display of their superpowers. Rounding out the team was Tim Pocock, Ryan Reynolds (as Hal Jordan/The Green Lantern' in production), and Daniel Henney. Their scenes epitomize what many comic readers love to see in the pages, action packed, and jaw dropping abilities. They did not disappoint here.TechnicalThe Blu-ray edition is vibrant and exceptional at 1924 X 1080p, 120Hz. The sound is fine on all levels at 5.1, dts-HD. The special features are many. They include the customary commentary with the director (Gavin Hood), a great feature with Stan Lee and former writer Len Wein. The back and forth banter is pure gold for fans. So many tidbits of fascinating information are thrown at you, seemingly as afterthoughts. Also included are `Ultimate X-mode' (ability to sit in the director's chair, pre-visualize Wolverine and X-Facts), a helicopter scene, insight segment, and an alternate ending. The language options are English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. The subtitles available are English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Cantonese.

Great movie! Gives a wonderful background as to what made Wolverine who he is. It is impressive he has a brother with the same adaptation.

Great price. Added to our collection.Thanks

And that "Bryan Singers" vision just wasn't that great.At first, the idea of a spin-off origin story of Wolverine sounded stupid. Why did we need to hear more about Wolverine then we did in X2. Wasn't killing Stryker and learning of those origins enough?No, it definitely wasn't. There was much to learn about Wolverine's very long past, and I say long because somehow they get a hell of a lot of material done in a 1 hour and 47 minutes. From the awesome credits scenes with him and Sabertooth (needed an origin story as well)in various wars, it becomes obvious that a great movie has been made.From the introduction of Deadpool (gets the coolest scenes in the movie) the death of a love of Wolverine's, to his involvement in the "Weapon X" program, the movie moves from one to thing to another very smoothly.From great action scenes (Wolverine being shot at on a motorcyle after being admanatium is in him being the best) and some really sad moments when various characters are killed, I completly forgot why I ever cared about "Bryan's Singer" ovveratted vision.I would rate this either the best or 2nd best X-Men movie, only possibly 2nd to X3. I know what most people of think of X3, so an explanation is needed for this belief.X-Men was a good movie, but it was obvious that the budget wasn't high enough and just didn't allow for enough explosive action in a franchise that is half about the awesome powers in fight scenes. X-Men 2 got that budget and while having a great story wasted money on a dragged on ending scene (breaking facility=boring) and a lack of anything for Colossus to do. X-Men: The Last Stand (X3) was not dragged on in any way, and while it did insert way too many characters (wasted Colossus and side characters as well), gave Storm more screen time (give her a spin-off for god sakes) and fufilled a excellent storyline involving the pheonix.Yes, Deadpool was a little off in Wolverine. But it was meant to be his origin story as well, wasn't it? Yes. I imagine his spin-off will show us the true Deadpool. And yes Gambit was randomly inserted to please no one. But other characters like Silver Fox, The Blob, and the guy Will.I.AM played (forgot his name) were handled perfectly, which is less than I say for the limited screen time of Storm in any X-Men movie.The next time around, I would like to see no random characters that sacrifice story being inserted. But the action must be kept up and the story must as well. If this is done, the next X-Men movie, whether it be Deadpool, X-Men; First Class, Magneto, or Wolverine 2, could easily be the best.Oh, and if X4 is ever made, I want to see Angel as a main character doing a lot of flying around, Roque realizing her true powers, Professor X-s new body, and Apocalypse causing humans and mutants to team up to fight him.

Gut

Su questa recensione come per le altre della serie X-Men SteelBook non mi soffermerei sulla descrizione del film, ormai noto a tutti, ma di parlare solo ed esclusivamente della vera novità : la cover.Contrariamente ad altri film analoghi che scarseggiavano di edizioni speciali, X-Men aveva già l'imbarazzo della scelta con diversi SteelBook molto colorati in edizioni italiane ed import, nonché alcune cartonate.Poi sono uscite alcune edizioni speciali piuttosto ingombranti (come l'artiglio della Adamantium Collection a 6 BluRay, una vera edizione a tiratura limitata e numerata; la presentazione è indubbiamente di pregio, ma lo sviluppo in altezza dell'artiglio rendeva difficoltosa la collocazione in videoteca.Da segnalare anche la bellissima edizione con cover in plastica dura a forma di X, contenente all'interno un DigiPack con cinque BluRay ed alcune cartoline da collezione realizzate appositamente per questa versione .Insomma di edizioni belle e di tutti i gusti ce ne erano già abbastanza, ma quando è uscita questa serie in SteelBook ho voluto acquistare il primo e vedere da vicino toccando con mano la qualità della cover e l'impatto visivo.Tanto con Amazon, ogni acquisto che non riteniamo soddisfacente, può essere reso a costo zero.Quando è arrivato ha confermato la mia prima impressione, ovvero una cover semplice ma di classe, artwork puro e senza scritte fronte, retro ed inside. Non è lucidato in nero brillante (come 77 Ronin o Maleficient per intenderci) ma è grezzo come Terminator 1 uscito in vendita su Amazon un mesetto prima.Dunque un edizione, a mio avviso, semplice ma di classe e tra l'altro ad un costo contenuto; una vera e propria rivincita della semplicitàPensando poi che gli altri BluRay della serie erano più o meno simili, non ho proprio resistito alla tentazione di acquistarli tutti e di metterli in videoteca uno accanto all'altro. Il colpo d'occhio è veramente notevole.
