7) Opening Montage – X-Men Origins: Wolverine
A spinoff film from the then-defunct main X-Men franchise starring its biggest star, X-Men Origins: Wolverine must have felt like a surefire hit for 20th Century Fox back in the day. Clearly, their certainty that it was going to print money meant they didn’t put a lot of effort into the movie and it ended up being a hot mess.
One part that stood out, however, is the very impressive sequence which accompanies the opening titles. In the movie, we find out that Logan (or rather James Howlett) is a lot older than we thought he was, and this scene fills us in on his long life by showing his service in various wars across American history – the American Civil War, both World Wars and Vietnam. It’s such a great scene that unfortunately, the rest of the film never lives up to it.
