Wolverine - X-Men Origins

I have been a fan of "Wolverine" ever since the first X-Men movie hit the silver screen. One because he is a cool character and two because he is played by a cool dude, Hugh Jackman. I don't think they could have gotten another actor to pull off the complex dynamics that is this comic hero so well. Hugh has the facial expression and body language that gives off personal torment and anguish that is Wolverine while being kind, gentle and compassionate towards the human race. With this movie as with the other 3 X-Men I went into with some knowledge of the comic book world. But as with the other 3 when the story started, I was lost in this new world, and the rules from the comic didn't matter anymore. I was engulfed and little changes didn't matter. I am not a hugh comic buff, but what I knew worked to give me background, so I knew the character, but didn't stop me from enjoying the new story told by Hollywood.

A 4 start movie for me, a 5 star appearance for Hugh Jackman.
