Surprisingly Good!

Rating: 10/10 (15 July 2000)

As an ex-avid X-Men reader, I'll start with my complaints: Hugh Jackman doesn't fit into what the comic book defines Wolverine's body type to be, and the movie is too short.
I was shocked at how much I liked this movie. I was expecting to be let down on many levels, and I wasn't at all. Jackman totally made up for his physical "faults" with his acting, capturing Wolverine's whole character in 96 minutes.
As far as the movie being too short... aren't you SUPPOSED to be left wanting for more? The ending of the movie leaves room for so many sequels that you know you'll get more in a couple of years. You have to keep in mind that some of the character development will be short. You also have to keep in mind that these characters have been developing for over 35 years in the comics.
I can't wait to see it again this week.
