Wolverine

The genre of the film called "Wolverine" is Action,Thriller, Fantasy and Sci-Fi. It was released on the 29th of April 2009. The director of the movie is called Gavin Hood and the writers of the movie are David Benioff and Skip Woods

Wolverine is not a remake of a book/comic, but then they are comic books and books of the movie. However, Wolverine is a fictional Canadian superhero mutant, possessing animal-keen senses, enhanced physical capabilities, bone claws, and a healing factor that allows him to quickly recover from virtually any wound, disease or toxin, also enabling him to live beyond a normal human lifespan.

The main notable stars are Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Danny Houston and Will i am. In the movie Hugh Jackman played by Logan/ Wolverine is a brother to Liev Schreiber, who is played by Victor Creed. Logan/Wolverine lives a mutant life, he seeks revenge against his brother for the death of his girlfriend and ends up going through the Mutant X program. The reason why he went Mutant X program is because he wanted his claws to be much stronger, so that he can defeat his brother.

The target audience of the film are people who like or into comic books and people who are in their 30s and 40s going down to about teenagers. The reason why I said teenagers it's because every teenagers likes a movie that ends up the good guys winning, which means when evil guys die at the end of the movie like what happens at the end of this movie.

In my opinion, I really find this movie very enjoyable, amusing and very interesting because I wanted Hugh Jackman who is played by Logan/Wolverine to get revenge on the people who were killing other mutants and his brother. Even though I enjoyed the movie, I didn't like the fact that Logan/Wolverine loses his memory and his girlfriend ends up dying at the end of the movie. It also seems as if at the beginning of the movie, they were rushing it so that they can get to the middle of the movie because that’s the best part of the movie. Overall, I actually found the movie very thrilling and I hope they make part two of the movie because the way it ended it seemed like it's going to be continuously.

There was some stylistic/camera techniques that inspired me, for example they used a mid-shot to show us facial expressions of Wolverine/Logan that he was furious; they wanted to erase all of his memories because they thought he was dead while they where doing an experiment on him. There was also fast tracking when Victor was running, he is a mutant and his powers are like a cheetah, which means he can run very fast.

The messages and values of the film are tolerance and multiculturalism because the mutants don't get along with each other. Instead of them acting as one, they are too busy fighting and killing each other. So the lesson we can learn from this is to get along with each other not fighting and killing each other.
