X-Men Origins (2009)
James Logan aka Wolverine and his brother Victor Creed (who will later
become Sabretooth) run away together as children in the mid 1850's
after Logan kills their biological father who had murdered Logan's
adoptive father. After serving together in many wars they are recruited
by William Stryker to serve in a special unit made up of mutants. After
wiping out an African villiage, Logan quits the unit and goes off to
live a life of peace in the Canadian Rockies with his girlfriend later
to be known as the Silver Fox.
Six years pass for the both of
them until Stryker shows up and asks Logan to come back and be a part
of a new Weapon X project. Logan refuses but Creed shows up and murders
Logan's girlfriend leaving him wanting revenge against his brother.
Logan accepts Strykers offer to be infused with Adamantium so that he
can be indestructable and go after his revenge but is double crossed by
Stryker and hears him give the order to wipe his memories. Escaping
before this can happen, he goes searching for Creed killing anyone who
gets in his way.
After reuniting with a few members of his old
team, he finds out that Stryker and Creed are actually working together
to kidnap mutants and keep them in confinement working on a new
project, Weapon XI and that only one person knows where their new base
of operations is. Remy LeBeau aka Gambit is the only mutant to escape
this place and Logan along with John Wraith go searching for him in New
Orleans. They find him in a card game where Logan tries to question him
but with less than desireable results. After being blasted through a
wall by Gambit, Logan sees Creed standing over the dead body of Wraith
and the fight is on. Right when Logan is about to get his revenge and
kill Creed, Gambit comes flying in with his staff and blows everyone
apart. Creed uses this distraction to escape while Logan and Gambit go
at it. After showing Gambit the light (with his claws), Gambit agrees
to take Logan to Three Mile Island where the facility is hidden.
Arriving
at Three Mile Island by plane, Logan finds many mutant children kept
prisoner by Stryker and Creed with the support of the U.S. Government.
Logan confronts Stryker while he is at the finishing point of his
Weapon XI project and learns the truth that Silver Fox isn't dead but
was keeping and eye on him those six years and manipulating him with
her mutant power of persuasion. After leaving, Fox confronts Stryker
demanding the release of her sister only to be placated and told to
wait. Creed comes in and Fox tries to persuade him that Stryker is only
using them. Only this doesn't work and she is almost killed by Creed.
Logan hears her screams and comes to her rescue almost killing Creed
but being convinced by Fox that if he does that then they will be no
better then Stryker. She also convinces him that she truly loves him.
Fox
and Logan then go to free the children. Fox leads them out of the
facility while Logan goes in search of Stryker. In a firefight, Fox is
wounded and sends the children on while she goes back to look for
Logan. The children make it out of the facility and are met by none
other than Charles Xavier who offers them a ride in his helicopter and
protection at his school.
While Logan is searching, Stryker
activates Weapon XI who is a combination of all the mutants abilities
with none of their weaknesses. XI and Logan's fight ranges from the
inside to the outer top of a nuclear reactor and it appears Logan is
outmatched until Creed shows up to help save him using the line; "No
one is allowed to kill you except me..." Back to back they take on XI
together until Creed grabs him by the neck, stabs him in the chest and
Logan decapitates him with those claws. XI's head and body go falling
into the reactor cutting chunks out of it the whole way down. Logan
tells Creed that this changes nothing and they go their seperate ways.
After
getting to the ground, Logan is saved from the falling debris of the
reactor by Gambit. They then go their seperate ways in search for
Stryker but Logan comes upon the wounded body of Fox and starts
carrying her toward the plane. Stryker intercepts them and shoots Logan
in the head with Adamantium bullets which are the only thing that can
really "hurt" him. This knocks him out long enough for him to go after
Silver Fox but she turns the tables by touching his ankle and telling
him to "walk until you bleed... Then keep walking."
Gambit comes
back finding Logan regaining consciousness but without any memories.
Finding the body of Silver Fox, Gambit asks if Logan knows her but he
doesn't. Going their seperate ways, the movie ends here but you should
watch through the credits all the way. Stryker is picked up by the MP's
with bloody feet for the murder of a general and Logan is last seen in
an Asian bar drinking shots and trying to remember who he is.
