Wolverine: Origin

Though I really don't like the animation style used in Wolverine Origin I can't deny its beauty. It's like watching a mildly animated water color painting.

It tells the story of Wolverines origin (Shockingly) in a suitably gritty and dark tone.

Standing at only an hour it certainly has minimal content but managed to entertain me for the duration.

This Marvel Knights effort will certainly appeal to Wolverine fans but for folks like me I found it lackluster. Beautiful, engaging but lackluster.

The Good:

Beautiful

Well made

The Bad:

Not a fan of that style of animation

Tad short

While I love these original comic book stories, straight from the source, even animation wise, these Marvel Knights segments aren't my favorite to watch, great Wolverine story though!

I had no idea what I'm getting myself into when I started watching this show. It's definitely not for children. It's a gritty story filled with violence and heart breaking drama that digs into the very darkness of the human spirit. It's definitely worth watching even if you're not a Wolverine fan or a comics fan. I see it more like a period piece, the story of a young kid trying to fight through the hardships of life in the 1800s whilst coming to terms with tragic loss and his mutant powers. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is because the whole thing is a bit too serious, there are very few funny or light hearted moments -if any- and the drama just keeps adding up. But it's still a good watch, I fully recommend it to everyone.
