Jackman Is As Watchable As Always

Rating: 7/10 (5 November 2014)

Plot In A Paragraph: Two mutant brothers, Logan and Victor, born 200 years ago, suffer childhood trauma and have only each other to depend on. We see them living from war to war through U.S. history. In modern times, a U.S. colonel, Stryker, recruits them and other mutants as commandos. Logan quits and becomes a logger, falling in love with a local teacher. When Logan refuses to rejoin Stryker's crew, the colonel sends the murderous Victor.
Hugh Jackman has a natural charm, that few movie stars have. He is a good looking man with charisma in spades. Oh and he happens to be one hell of an actor. I expected more from Ryan Reynolds and thought he was wasted. Liev Shrieber was OK as Victor, and I was surprised I didn't hate Will.I.Am more, he was actually alright.
Possibly the weakest of the X-Men movies featuring Wolverine, but thanks to Jackman, who is as watchable as ever, it's an OK way to spent 90 minutes or so.
