Origins in a nutshell.Go out and kill Wolverine.
OK. *dies*
The only way he could have killed Wolverine is with these magic beans.

Yea it was. It had some cool scenes but it just didn't form a good movie.
The main problem is was it was supposed to show Logan at his most violent, where he was an animal. It was supposed to show him learn to control his animal side and regain his humanity.
Well, it didn't. This was the most neutered Wolverine has been in any of the movies.
Still shocked they ignored Wolverine's first movie
It was so bad, that Fox seems to have:just retconned it out of continuity with DOFP.
Filmmakers and actors have told the fans "forget about it" and these new films "have no connection".
This is false.
“Deadpool appearing in Origins is not the Deadpool we are representing in this film, in any way shape or form,” Reynolds told EW’s Jess Cagle and Jessica Shaw Saturday on EW Live on SiriusXM.
Carefully choosing his words so as to not offend famed-clawed star Hugh Jackman (“[He’s] a very powerful man – he orders airstrikes from his iPhone”, Reynolds explained that “we didn’t quite get Deadpool right, so this is kind of an opportunity to get the most authentic version possible on the screen.”
“[Deadpool] will actually have no connection to the one that was in Wolverine.”
PW: 2009 is when we first got hired, and we wrote our first draft and turned it into the studio early 2010 I would say.
RR: Yeah!
Back at the start, it can’t have been too long since X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Was Deadpool always going to be a separate thing, or was there a time when you had to work with what that film had done?
RR: Well I think X-Men Origins: Wolverine had so, I think, mishandled the Deadpool character that – in a way – everyone was very highly motivated to get it right. Just by virtue of the fact that they’d gotten it wrong the first time. Once they acknowledged that…
So, when Ryan [Reynolds, who produced the movie as well as starring] first hired us, I think the whole mandate was ‘let’s toss everything out that you’ve seen before, and start over with an origin story again.’ Reboot it, almost instantly. And that’s what we did.
Did you ask at all, why the decisions that had been made last time had happened? Or just ignore it and move on?
PW: Yeah, we just ignored it and moved on. It was one that, I think, the fans… didn’t love. And Ryan himself, and Fox, would all say it had been a fairly large misstep. A mischaracterisation of Deadpool. So, he [Reynolds] more than anyone wanted to do it right. And I feel that we really did get it right this time.
yes it was.though i find last stand worse.
Answering the actual thread question, "No. No, it was not".
The film is far better than people think it is (same with X3), and adds a lot of layers to Wolverine's character.
The film also works much better when seen in its proper chronological order, and if you take into account the dates for its some of its events as they are given in the official timeline that was produced and released 2 years ago for/in the pages of Empire Magazine.
Eh, it doesn't really add anything to Wolverine that wasn't already there before.
It explains how he was transformed into Weapon X, establishes when he was born, establishes a relationship between him and Victor/Sabertooth (which adds layers to X1 and their rivalry in that movie, even if their familial connection is never actually addressed), and provides context for the events of The Wolverine.
It's far more important in the grand scheme of things than people want to admit, especially given the way the franchise as a whole has been and continues to be approached.
Origins is one of the worst CBM's of all time.
