Origins - Does it deliver?

So, should you plunk down your dollars on opening night to check out the story of how Hugh Jackman became the mutton-chopped mutant with razor-sharp claws? Should you see it at all?

SHOOT: For my money, any movie that AO Scott gives the thumbs down to has got to be good. Origins is - a solid re-watchable 8.5/10. Have a look at 3 different critiques of the new Wolverine flick.

clipped from www.mtv.com 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' Reaps Mixed Reviews The Bad "'Wolverine' is shorter and less pretentious than 'Watchmen,' but almost programmatically unmemorable, a hodge-podge of loose ends, wild inconsistencies and stale genre conventions." — A.O. Scott, The New York Times The Ugly "[N]ow we have an entire two hours devoted to nothing but origin, and all the subsequent exposition and ham-fisted dialogue that goes with it. Every line feels lazily copied from other movies. (They even bring out old chestnuts like 'We had a deal!' and 'Let's do this!')" — Jeffrey M. Anderson, Cinematical.com The Good "The first blockbuster of Hollywood's summer accomplishes its mission with élan — if a tad less stylishly or humorously than last year's heavy-metal kickoff, 'Iron Man.' ... It's packed with nonstop action, has cutting-edge special effects and stunt work, terrific cinematography (by Donald McAlpine) and beautiful locations, and is tautly directed by Gavin Hood." — Lou Lumenick, New York Post
