Honest Trailers Season 1 Episode 31 Honest Trailers - X-Men Origins: Wolverine

In this episode of Honest Trailers, the team takes aim at X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the 2009 movie that attempted to give fans a deeper understanding of the claw-wielding mutant's backstory. The trailer kicks off with a warning that this is not a film for Wolverine purists, because it "essentially takes a dump" on the character's origins.

From there, the team dives into the movie's many flaws and inconsistencies, poking fun at everything from the awful CGI claws to the poorly written dialogue. They also take jabs at the movie's terrible subplot involving Deadpool, who is played by Ryan Reynolds in a role that the team describes as "one of the most shameful things to happen to a superhero."

The trailer also makes fun of the many continuity errors and plot holes found throughout the film, as well as the poor casting choices for certain characters. They also explore the film's heavy use of CGI and green screen, questioning whether there were any actual sets used for filming.

As they continue to rip the movie apart, the team touches on some of the more bizarre elements of the story, including Wolverine's amnesia and the bizarre inclusion of the character Gambit. They also skewer the movie's attempts to shoehorn in as many mutants as possible, resulting in a messy and convoluted plot.

Despite its many flaws, the team acknowledges that X-Men Origins: Wolverine does have a few redeeming qualities, such as the inclusion of some classic X-Men characters like Sabretooth and the Blob. They also credit Hugh Jackman for his performance as Wolverine, which they describe as "still pretty great despite the terrible script."

Overall, the team delivers a hilarious takedown of one of the most infamous superhero movies in recent memory. Whether you're a diehard X-Men fan or just a casual moviegoer, the Honest Trailers' take on X-Men Origins: Wolverine is sure to have you in stitches.
