X-Men Origins: Wolverine

I’m currently working my way through the 10 X-Men Wolverine flicks.

In the 2009 X-Men Origins: Wolverine, exhibiting twisted bureaucratic logic, the U.S. Army takes a seemingly immortal and invincible mutant and makes him into the more immortal and more invincible Wolverine. Not a logical plot line but it does make for an enjoyable movie.

This is the 4th X-Men film and the 1st solo Wolverine project of a planned trilogy.
