Sparked a filmmaking marathon

Rating: 6/10 (12 September 2014)

(59%) One of the first big budget comic-book movies to be hit with both critics, fans and general movie goers alike, that more or less started this whole comic-book film making machine that continues to churn out hit movies to this day.
Hugh Jackman is now proved to be the ideal Wolverine, and it was clear from this very first edition to be the case as he not only looks the part but he has the right personality for the character too. Here the focus is very much on character, ideas and plot proving the sole target audience need not be children. A good watch (if a little unremarkable), but the best was yet to come from this series.
