    The same way he's looked the same age in the comics for over a hundred years: It's fantasy, go with the flow ;-)

    Wolvie's age was the least of the film's problems.

    He actually looks younger in the first X-men movie than he does in the American Civil War scenes in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
    Apparently Hugh Jackman ages like a normal man!!!

    Bad CGI aside, I think I'm the only person who enjoyed it.

    Conveniently, I only got round to watching it last night. I believe the word I'm searching for is 'adequate'.

    My favourite bit was after the confrontation with the trucks at the bridge, Jackman forgets his accent and starts speaking in his normal Aussie way. Cobber.

    Wolverine had an Aussie accent in the Pryde of The X-Men cartoon, so it all comes full circle ;-)

    Me too. It wasn't without it's faults, but I wasn't expecting Schindlers List, I just wanted fighting, and I got it.

    Anyone played the game of Wolverine Origins? Not really my kind of game to be honest but the violence is amazing.

    I sort of enjoyed the film, but it was rubbish. I passed on the game.

    I'd like to meet the person who was expecting Schindler's List but got Wolverine: Origins instead. Hmmm, I feel like a Lipton's tea all of a sudden!

    When I watched the film I didn't really think much to it, neither hating it, or really enjoying it. Somehow, even though this was his own film, Wolverine has alot more character in the main X-Men films. Really it felt like a giant trailer for several other planned features, Deadpool, X-Men: First-Class, Wolverine 2. I mean its supposed to be kinda a prequel to the second X-Men film but not using Brian Cox was a mistake, and it takes the path of a few other Marvel films, "lets just chuck in aload of random characters", the Blob has never had any affiliation with Weapon X as far as I know, Deadpool was created after Weapon X branched off from Weapon Plus, and removing Agent Zeros powers...

    also eye beams on Deadpool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    "not using Brian Cox was a mistake"

    But Wolverine is set YEARS before the other X-Men films, thus it was either have a different actor or some bad CGI to make Brian Cox look younger. Just look at how bad the CGI of Xavier is at the end of the film, I'd much rather have a different actor that kind of looks like a younger version of the older actor.

    I don't think the Danny Huston is a million miles from a younger Brian Cox: http://www.manhunter.net/cast/gfx/brian_cox.jpg I can't think of anyone better, and Huston is a great actor.

    In many ways he was, he was a much younger man doing his job, whereas in X-Men 2 he was an older man who'd been through a lot who was out for vengeance.

    Is it wrong that my main casting issue with the film was that young Emma Frost didn't look like she'd turn into enough of a mega hottie? (And also that young Emma did not look like grown Emma as grown Emma was a reinvention of herself, so young Emma should not have looked like she did in the film anyway...)
