Wolverine: Saved by Hugh Jackman

I cannot say as many good things about Wolverine as I can about Star Trek. The plot was so-so, with an annoying pointless action by a supporting character that I'm sure was put in just so we could see the supporting character strut his stuff. Lame, lame, lame.

Good things I could say about the movie are these:

1. It's better than the third X-Men movie.
2. Getting Wolverine's back story was interesting, but lately I've found than the "origin" movies of a series such as Batman seems to be more interesting than what follows.
3. It was fun. (But just "fun," not "FUN!")

And, finally, the main reason to see Wolverine was Hugh Jackman, who sadly didn't have much to do in the film acting wise, but still has enough charisma to carry the film. So, go see the film if you're a Wolverine/X-Men fan, and/or you like Hugh Jackman. But I would suggest you try for the matinee showing.
