On its own terms its a great little action film I can't wait to see again

Rating: 8/10 (4 May 2009)

The back story of Wolverine from childhood onward.
I don't know how much to say or what to say. I think the easiest thing to say is "Works for me".
The action is very good. The performances are up there (Liev Schreiber is excellent as Sabertooth). Its true to itself, though I sense possible problems (minor) in regard to the X-Men movies. Is it perfect? No. There are the bumps and such where things don't move smoothly. There is also a sense that the film could have used some fleshing out, but for the most part its a damn fine action film. Its a comic book come to life not a Russian novel and it behaves like the cinematic equivalent of one.
I know that one twist involving how Wolverine loses his memory has some fan boys having kittens, but you know what, there had to be a reason and thats as good as any especially owing to all that happens to the character.
I had a blast. I can't wait for the home video version with extras.
Worth a look with a bucket of popcorn and a soda.
Its not the best comic movie but it is an entertaining one.(if you want more than that its only because you've been spoiled by Ironman, Hulk, Batman and Hellboy- It pales compared to them, but then again most things will.)
