have been waiting for something like this for ages

Rating: 8/10 (8 May 2009)

I've been spending months sitting through hour after hour of film that tried so hard and achieved so little...or movies that tried hard not to try hard and ending up looking like crap...or movies where at the end I would say to myself "I want those two hours of my life back" (or in the case of Watchmen i want the 3 hours back!!!) Now don't get me wrong...Wolverine is not the greatest movie ever made...not even close...but its something for the popcorn eaters amongst us who look for an adventure...an escape..a fantasy.
Movies don't have to be something that changes the world...and this one certainly doesn't. But seriously, if you're looking for a movie to make you question the goodness of humanity or any other truly important life shattering revelation are you really expecting to find it watching Wolverine?! This movie has something for most people...things that go kaboom for the guys...Hugh with his shirt of for the girls...a game of "pick the Aussie actor in the background" for us Australians...
This was a good movie...full stop.
