Wolverine: Origin (2013)
Wolverine is the best there is at what he does--although of course, what he does isn’t very nice. But long before he was a member of the X-Men, a tormented experiment of the Weapon X project, or even a savage bar brawler known as Logan, he was simply a young boy. What incredible forces created this man, the world’s greatest killing machine? For years, Wolverine has searched desperately for answers from his past, from the wilds of the Canadian wilderness to the teeming cities of Japan and beyond. And despite his perseverance and longing for the truth, he remains an enigma to himself and those around him. But, in this landmark event, Marvel reveals all: The birth and childhood of young James Howlett…the intriguing secrets of his family history…and the tragedy that changed everything. Welcome to the greatest story never told.

Though I really don't like the animation style used in Wolverine Origin I can't deny its beauty. It's like watching a mildly animated water color painting.It tells the story of Wolverines origin (Shockingly) in a suitably gritty and dark tone.Standing at only an hour it certainly has minimal content but managed to entertain me for the duration.This Marvel Knights effort will certainly appeal to Wolverine fans but for folks like me I found it lackluster. Beautiful, engaging but lackluster.The Good: Beautiful Well made The Bad: Not a fan of that style of animation Tad short Things I Learnt From This Movie: Wolverine based his style on the abusive father of the man who killed his own father
I had no idea what I'm getting myself into when I started watching this show. It's definitely not for children. It's a gritty story filled with violence and heart breaking drama that digs into the very darkness of the human spirit. It's definitely worth watching even if you're not a Wolverine fan or a comics fan. I see it more like a period piece, the story of a young kid trying to fight through the hardships of life in the 1800s whilst coming to terms with tragic loss and his mutant powers. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is because the whole thing is a bit too serious, there are very few funny or light hearted moments -if any- and the drama just keeps adding up. But it's still a good watch, I fully recommend it to everyone.
