Good, really good. Another solid addition to the Marvel universe of super hero movies, and one the fans really wanted done well. In a film genre that requires CGI I thought times it was a little too much, and, by the end of the movie kind of got out of control. I liked the first half much better than the second. although its pretty graphic and violent for the younger crowd, teenagers on up will really enjoy it.

The story of how the future X-Man Wolverine became who is today as member of the X-Men. Logan – Hugh Jackman, finds out early in his childhood that, he isn’t like other kids. His traumatic coming out event causes him to run away with his brother Victor – Liev Schreiber. The two of them end up fighting in every major American conflict up to Vietnam and then they join the private sector. Once Logan has had enough of civilian casualties he strikes out on his own. Trying to lead a peaceful life, the Wolverine must return and become the beast he hates to take down his brother and his makers. Along the way he meets up with other mutants, some good, some not so good. The action is fantastic, even if a little over the top (it is a superhero movie after all) The story is basic revenge but they don’t try and hide it so it works well. All in all, it’s good but not spectacular. you should probably skip the rental and buy it. It’s What-to Watch tonight.
