I don't know why so many movie goers and comic fans are always griping about changes in the story--directors and writers are adapting the overall comic mythology to a packaged event that will appeal to many viewers...having said that (and being a huge x-men fan since the early 80s) I thought Wolverine Origins was FANTASTIC!! Great action, great story, and great surprise guest stars (although I guessed who was guiding Cyclops through the nuclear facility)...does this movie redeem the dreadful X-men 3? Not really--but it is a good start...
