‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’

Prequel explores Wolverine’s (Hugh Jackman) violent past.

Running time/rating: 1:47; PG-13 for intense sequences of action and violence, and some partial nudity.

What they’re saying: “About the only thing to be said for ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ is that it’s just 107 minutes, relatively brief for the usually bloated superhero genre. Otherwise, methinks it’s time to put these mutants out of their misery – and ours.” – Christopher Kelly, Fort Worth Star-Telegram
