X-Men Origins: Wolverine

[ambra]

I saw the new Wolverine movie today and I really enjoyed it! Not as good as the first two X-Men movies--they really need to get Bryan Singer back in the director's chair--but still a good movie overall. Hugh Jackman was as handsome as always and very good in the title role plus he has a couple of nude scenes! Liev Schrieber is also great as Sabertooth, Wolverine's main nemesis. The biggest difference between this movie and the other X-Men movies is it isn't a "team" movie like the others. While there are other mutants, it's really just focused on Wolverine. The CGI effects also needed some work; they weren't as "clean" as in previous movies and in a couple of cases, were really obvious. If you're a Hugh Jackman fan and/or a fan of the X-Men series, I'd recommend seeing it.

Ambra, Thanks for the review...I suppose if this one does well they will make a movie about the origins of all the X-men. Hugh Jackman Nude? That might just be worth the price of a ticket. He sure looks buff in the promos. Have a great week!

I agree with all you said Ambra. For a fan of X-Men and Wolverine it is a must see, but for non-fans I think it is probably not such a good movie, a bit cluttered with trying to show too many characters.

X-Men 1 and 2 are the good ones. * *

But yeah.... there is (((((((ALOT)))))))) of Hugh to see in this movie.

Hugh still doesn't hold a candle to Rufus though.

There's another Hugh Jackman "must see" work coming in 2010--he's playing Harry Houdini in a Broadway musical based on the magicians life and work! The music will be by Danny Elfman but I can't remember who's doing the story. I definitely plan on a trip to NYC to see this!

Hugh back on broadway??? That would be great. Saw him in A Boy From Oz. He was soooo good. That man can do anything.

With Broadway prices, I'd better start saving NOW!
