incredible camera, Jackman at his best

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2004)

Got into the theatre by chance and went in only to see Hugh Jackman in one more movie, but didn't regret a second. The action grabs you from the first second to the last. Excellent camera work, compares only with LOTR and Hulk, but here it is a 2 and a half hour non-stop swirling and jumping and what-not. Costumes and cast are excellent. Hugh Jackman confirmed he is a good actor, and all the rest are fine. Minor complaints - at times the animation is not seamless, and action is just a bit too much. Warning - don't see it if you scare easily. No doubt one of the best movies for the year. Much better than Troy anyway. 8/10
