Action-packed thrill ride!

Rating: 8/10 (26 April 2009)

Just got back from an advance screening of Wolverine, and I have to say it was pretty darn good! Visually its spectacular, and the acting is top notch. Liev Schrieber does a really great job as Sabretooth, and both Taylor Kitsch and Will.i.am were good as Gambit and Wraith respectively. Also good to see that Dominic Monaghan's character ended up being Bolt instead of Beak as originally rumoured! Die-hard comic fans may need to beware, as there's a few characters that are changed somewhat from the comics. Some subtly (like Agent Zero), some vastly (like Deadpool), but ultimately not so much that it detracts from the film's story (it is, after all, a different continuity to the comics - X-Men fans would do well to remember this going into this movie!). There's also lots of character cameos, with one near the end of the film being icing on the cinematic cake! Stick around after the credits start rolling for not one but two vignettes!
