Wolverine

Rating: 7/10 (24 May 2009)

I tried to watch one of the first two X Men films, I don't know what one it was, and it bored me to death, but despite that when I heard they were making a Wolverine film I was curious. As a teenager I went through an X Men phase, it didn't last long, but what I really liked was the Wolverine character. I even spent a small fortune (for a teenager) buying all the original Wolverine comics. This film did not disappoint (much). Dumb muscle bound fun. It's not intelligent and it doesn't try to be. It's actually quite a rare thing, a film that knows it's place. An exhilarating thrill ride from beginning to end. My only complaint was it should have been a lot darker...
