Best Comic Adaptation Since Tim Burton's Batman...

Rating: 9/10 (19 August 2000)

... and definitely the most difficult to pull off. I read the comics for about 4 years and watched the cartoons religiously, but was always apprehensive of anyone trying to pull off a movie. But oh boy did it work!
The characterisations in the most part were practically spot on, but it was obvious from the beginning that Wolverine was the star. He couldn't have done a better job. Right down to the scene when he walks through the metal detector .
Overall, the movie was sufficiently dark and stylish with some top special effects (but thankfully relying more on the characters to carry the story). The humour was just right too.
Recommended for anyone, fan or not, and any age at that. This slots in right behind Gladiator for me in this years best movie releases. Roll on the sequels!!
