Lynn Collins and X-Men Origins Wolverine Premiere, Hollywood
The X-Men Origins Wolverine Premiere was held last night at the Grauman’s Mann Chinese Theater in Hollywood, a premiere with a star turnout with names like Halle Berry, Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas, Mel Gibson and Hugh Jackman being the names that stood out in an extensive star line up. This is a film for the lads out there!
Lynn Colins grabs the headline for us, she provides the love interest to Wolverine in this film, she looked good on film and was a red stunner on the red carpet and just beats off Halle Berry who purely shone, but she does not star in this film.
Here’s the full list of stars who attended:
Amanda Peet, Anjelica Huston, apl.de.ap, Black Eyed Peas, Camille Grammer, Carter Jenkins, Danny Huston, David Benioff, Diora Baird, Dominic Monaghan, Fergie, Garcelle Beauvais, Gavin Hood, Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, Jack Huston, Kelsey Grammer, Lauren Shuler Donner, Lyne Renee, Lynn Collins, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Mel Gibson, Ryan Reynolds, Sarah Brown, Steve Valentine, Steven Strait, Taboo, Valentine, will.i.am, Zachary Levi
The Plot:
X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a superhero film based on the fictional Marvel Comics character Wolverine that will be released in most countries by May 1, 2009. The film is directed by Gavin Hood and stars Hugh Jackman as the title character. It is a prequel to the X-Men film trilogy, focusing on the mutant Wolverine and his time with Team X, before Wolverine’s skeleton was bonded with the indestructible metal adamantium. The film was mostly shot in Australia and New Zealand.

The Verdict.
Seems to be receiving fair reviews this film, we have not seen the film , this rating is purely trailer based and various other snippits here and there, and has to be taken as such. Posters on buses all over London, media hype pre its release being billed as May 1st globally, but what is actually on offer here as prequels are notoriously highly variable in quality?
Hugh Jackman of the recent “Australia” fame plays the lead as Wolverine, with Lynn Colins his very attractive love interest. From what we thought would be a ridiculous film, first impressions are surprisingly good, this by all accounts is a very fast paced marvel comic book adaptation and will thrill comic book hero types no end and action seekers will not be left short changed.
Drama, action some sort of story and plot here although nothing exceptional,, the usual slightly cheesy one liners here and there typical of this type of film, some reasonable acting it has to be said, the trailer managed to draw us in and there’s some sort of emotional clout and presence in this film, that had us scrambling for more snippets out of sheer curiosity, that always cuts a sway with us here!
A good transfer of comic to film (not always easy) although purists may find some faults. All in all we are not sure what the critics will make of this one, but we are firmly above neutral , there is some form of quality here. Only criticism which has had us shaving a whisker off on the rating, they may have gone a bit OTT in the number of comic book characters introduced into this film and adrenaline action does take priority over the finer technical aspects which is another markdown. Otherwise a film for comic book and action types to put on their viewing list without a doubt, and definetly one for the lads. Rating 3 stars out 5 +++++++ Definetly worth a look. Box Office wise………….haven’t got a clue!
