And an unfinished work print of the movie even leaked online a month before the movie’s release. There were several production delays due to problematic weather and Jackman’s other commitments. The movie began production with an incomplete script by Skip Woods, who would later write It’s A Good Day To Die Hard and Hitman: Agent 47. Director Gavin Hood had regular disputes with the 20 th Century Fox executives. X-Men Origins: Wolverine’s production problems aren’t a huge secret. I could already tell it wasn’t good back then. That was more than 2 years before I got into comics. I thought it was kind of fun, but when I tried to watch it a second time, I just couldn’t finish it. I saw it at a friend’s house not long after it released on DVD. My own personal history with this movie is fairly short.
The movie itself might have had potential when it was first conceived, but it’s now pretty much universally considered the worst X-Men movie. Hugh Jackman’s performance as the clawed Canadian mutant introduced him to the general public, and it was only a matter of time before he’d get his own movie the same way he was the first X-Man character to get his own ongoing solo series. That was true decades before the movies came out. Like him or not, Wolverine is undoubtable the most popular X-Men character.
