United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"It's packed with nonstop action, has cutting-edge special effects and stunt work, terrific cinematography and beautiful locations, and is tautly directed by Gavin Hood. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS

Anyone looking for dangerous thrills is out of luck unless they risk federal prosecution by illegally downloading the movie on the Web. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEG

United States	Richard Corliss Time	"An O.K., not great, Marvel movie (...) Wolverine doesn't rise above the level of familiar competence. What holds it together is Jackman."	NEU
Australia	Andrew L. Urban Urbancinefile	"In cinematic terms, the film is a great success, an audio visual feast with seamless effects and some terrific location footage."	POS
Spain	FilmAffinity	Box Office: "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" was a smash hit in its opening weekend in US theaters: $87 million.	POS
