Some good special effects, not a very good story line but worth a watch with all those action stunts

Rating: 6/10 (23 June 2009)

I just watched the movie and it did look good to me. There was not a great punch in the story. In fact it didn't seem very original to me.
The action stunts were quite good. I enjoyed watching them. Hugh Jackman looked perfect in the Role of Logan/Jimmy/Wolverine. His character is one that has immense strength and even before the transformation, his body looks so good that it doesn't make the viewer hard to believe that he can knock down several men on his own accord.
The character of Victor played by Liev Screiber was commendable. He did seem to have a monster hidden in him which thirsted for blood. His evil desire to kill people didn't seem completely unreasonable.
Colonel Stryker played by Danny Huston is another well played character. He seems intrigued by the mutations and then he does manifest an evil look right from the beginning. His expressions are always a mixture of good and bad and the viewer doubts his intentions from the beginning. This doesn't leave the audience surprised when they discover the truth about all the weapons he's creating.
The special team that works with Colonel Stryker looked quite good to me. As I said, there was not a great story that laid in the movie but the action, stills, special effects, made it worth a watch.
Hugh Jackman looks like a hunk! Overall, a movie that can be watched at least once.
