I know, I know: it got slagged rotten on release, and even I was disappointed – too many characters, not as good as it could have been, etc etc.

However, at a bargain price and in the comfort of my own livingroom, Wolverine is a guilty pleasure – silly fun with one of the best comic book characters ever. Besides, sounds like the next one will fill in the depth bit!

Excellent telling of the Wolverine saga, from Logan’s youth, through countless wars, and his eventual transformation and emergence as the “lone wolf” of the mutants. Hugh Jackman dominates every scene, but it was nice to see a part for Taylor Kitsch (who currently plays Riggins on the TV series “Friday Night Lights”) as Remy LeBeau/Gambit. Lots of action and barechested scenes. I guess we can now look forward to a long line of these “Origins” films for each of the X Men.

I’ve beeen looking forward to ssing this movie.
