Newest X-Men Needs Sharpening

The Hugh Jackman vehicle X-Men Origins: Wolverine has a clunky title and dismal reviews, but that won't stop it conquering the global box-office.

The film opens with Jackman as an ailing boy, tended by his father, who, moments later, is slain by the father of his friend, Victor.

Learning the two are half brothers, they form a team that dispatches the nation's enemies in wars through the ages.

Jackman's Jimmy has the back of Liev Schreiber's Victor, a hothead. But they are almost indestructible.
