Film: X Men Origins: Wolverine Star Cast: Hugh Jackman and others Director: Galvin Hunt Rating: **** Theatres: Inox, Urvashi, Cauvery, Rex and others
When the first X Men movie was released some years ago, Cartoon Network showed a series called X Men Evolution and many liked the cartoons better because Wolverine--orange spandex and all--had more screen presence. While the later franchises were also watchable, Wolverine fans may have felt that their favourite character was not being given his due--and his screen space.
But now, all such criticism is meaningless because Hugh Jackman in the role of Wolverine truly delivers. Though this is an action flick, we understand the reason why he ended up as almost an animal and see why he doesn't fit in like all the other X Men. We see how he gained his adamantine skeleton and how he lost his memory. 
It was not laziness on the part of this writer that he mentions the actors of this film as Hugh Jackman and others--this film is about Wolverine and Wolverine alone. All the other characters seem to be present only to drive the story of Wolverine himself forward.
While the special effects are spectacular, this is true of many movies today. One only wishes that there were more dialogues that one could remember and recite--after all, what would Casablanca be without 'here's looking at you, kid'?
What's hot: Wolverine's story is well depicted and his transformation is clearly outlined, all the way from his turbulent childhood to his savage adulthood.
What's not: Dialogues could have been more memorable.
Verdict: While children have a fascination for comic heroes, adults are not immune and these days, there is immense popularity for the darker sort of hero--and people who like such things will really like this film.
