This movie was better than what most critics seem to be saying. Maybe it got hammered because last years two major comic book movie entries were so good that we all got very spoiled (Iron Man & The Dark Knight). This movie isn't quite as good as those 2 last year, but it's not so bad that you'd regret seeing it by any means. Hugh Jackman gives a wonderful performance, and gives us the Wolverine that we love to watch. The story isn't brilliant, but it is grabbing, and engaging (with a few cool nuggets about the title characters past--like how he got the name "Wolverine"). The action is near top-notch as well. This movie deserves more respect than what the average joe critic is giving it. It is also much better than X-Men: The Last Stand (which wasn't quite as bad as everyone made it seem either). A fun watch!
My Rating: B

Brian, thank you for always posting your movie reviews. I trust your judgement and it's nice to have a more "close to home" assesment of what we want to see. That can be very valuble when you don't want to waste money ^_^
I think its a good movie.
