Ya gotta see it, bub!

Rating: 8/10 (30 March 2010)

Marvel and Twentieth Century Fox hit the ground running with the first installment of their new "X-men Origins" series of movies. As a fan of Wolverine since he first joined the X-men in 1975, I've already gone through several revisions of Logan's history and found those on the movie to be acceptable. Younger 'purists', however, may have a problem with changes to his back story. Hugh Jackman once again did a magnificent job as Wolverine, Liev Schreiber did a wonderful job of fleshing out Sabertooth and showing him as the sociopath Marvel created instead of the brainless animal from the first X-men movie, and Taylor Kitsch was fantastic as Remy "Gambit" LeBeau (though I would have liked to have heard more of a Cajun dialect from him!). Over all, I give it 6 Claws Up! A Definite Must See!
