10 Terrific Scenes From Otherwise Terrible Comic Book Movies

4. Victor And Logan Fighting Through Time (X-Men Origins: Wolverine)

X-Men Origins: Wolverine, in truth, probably set Fox's X-Men movie plans back about half a decade. The film was meant to kick off a whole wave of Origins-style features that would've focussed on individual X-Men during their formative years, including Gambit, and yet nothing came of it because the first one was so terrible.

It did have a few things going for it though. Liev Schreiber's Sabretooth was a fine improvement over the first version of the character that we saw in Bryan Singer's films, and Hugh Jackman - then almost a decade into his tenure as Wolvie - was as good as ever. One of the best things about the film, however, comes really early into its running time, during the opening credits themselves.

Focusing on Victor and Logan as they fight their way through pretty much every western conflict since 1860 (as American soldiers, strangely enough), the sequence showed off just how big a journey Logan had to make before he got his adamantium skeleton, filling in a vital piece of history and providing the perfect introduction to the character's early days.

It's atmospheric, grand, and everything that the rest of the film pretty much wasn't. Condense that sequence into an entire film, and Origins Wolverine could've been the kick Fox really needed to do right by Marvel's Mutants, sans a sewn-up Ryan Reynolds.
