After many months of excitement and the impatience of fanboys, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is almost here. Just a little over two weeks away, the movie is expected to be a box office hit.
In case you didn't know, the movie is a prequel to the three X-Men films, and shows the origins of Wolverine's adamantium skeleton and claws. But even if you're not the biggest Wolverine fan, you should still check out this movie.
A few other famous characters from the X-Men series get their own roles in the movie. Gambit, the Cajun thief known for his ability to supercharge objects enough to make them explode, is played by Taylor Kitsch. And Deadpool, a lesser-known mercenary with a large cult following, finally gets on the big screen, being played by Ryan Reynolds.
Of course, other characters, such as Sabretooth (whose story will also be explored more deeply), William Stryker, and Emma Frost are all going to make appearances. Seeing as the Weapon X program is the main antagonist, a few other subjects of the program will also appear, including Chris Bradley ("Bolt") and Frederick J. Dukes, with an "ultimate mutant" known as Weapon XI being the final antagonist of the movie.
In other movie news, Hannah Montana: The Movie, has made more money than expected, hitting the $200 million mark with worldwide sales. The success of the movie over the weekend has caused the faltering of other movies such as Oberserve and Report and Fast and Furious. Dragon Ball: Evolution tanked, raking in less then $5 million over the Easter Weekend.
