A great action film should have fight scenes and great special effects. A great story should have deep characters and an emotional core. A great prequel should connect the dots of the previous stories. The B-grade X-Men Origins: Wolverine really doesn't do any of these well, with the exception of some decent fight scenes. It is easily the worst film of the mediocre series, and denigrates Hugh Jackman to a pretty bland role that we've seen one too many times. Worst of all, it creates more of a disconnect from the previous films than it connects. I'm glad Wolverine doesn't remember the events of the film. I wish I could forget it, too.
