Nice and entertaining !

Rating: 7/10 (22 December 2010)

I remember when this movie came out in France, some ten years ago, my brother was truly a fan of those X-Men and he would regularly talk with me about them, especially ''Wolverine''. Ten years later, I decided solemnly to watch the movie and guess what, I liked it. Though the plot is very simple, the action is far more better, as well as the dialogs, so that you cannot be bored all the film long - which is only 90 min. long ! Besides the FXs are not aging; of course, you can easily pinpoint them in the course of the movie but really, that is no pain in the ... The question that I asked after I saw this movie was : who on earth is Wolverine ? I used to read the comics, but I was surely too young to understand. For what I remember, the characters are pretty close to the comics - except the disguise; I particularly liked the Mystique character who is, to my mind, very well-done knowing that she probably was the most difficult superhuman to release, I mean, physically (you can see the make-up in several shots.) The only criticism that I may add to this review is that the end is too prompt while I hoped to learn what had happened to Mystique, Sabretooth... and Toad; that is probably the reason why I am going to watch the sequel tonight. If you have not seen the movie yet and it turns out that you hesitate to watch it (or buy it for Christmas?), do it, you will be entertained for sure! And if you become a fan, that is up to you; but know that you are not alone ;)
