There is something about mutton-chops on a mutant character that indicates something extra special. X-Men Origins: Woleverine gives us not one, but two mutton-chopped mutants to enjoy. Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is joined by his furry faced brother, Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber in the latest installment in the X-Men film series.
X-Men Origins: Woleverine takes us back to the 1800s, where Wolverine first discovers his mutant gift in a tragic misunderstanding. Immediately following his discovery that he is mutant, Wolverine and Sabretooth take off into the woods. At this point we are hurdled forward through time, as we witness the two brothers fighting in every major engagement of the modern era. As the two hone their skills on the battlefield, we notice a difference emerging between the two. Wolverine has a moral compass that seems to guide his actions, while Sabretooth enjoys killing a bit too much.
After working on a special government project, Wolverine eventually parts ways with his brother, opting for the quiet life of a lumberjack in the Canadian mountains. The rugged lifestyle seems to be paradise until Wolverine's world is turned upside down in a series of carefully orchestrated events. In the process of watching these events unfold, we gain insight into Wolverine's background. This insight explains a great deal about what makes our indestructible morally pure renegade mutant tick.
