We’ve just had a peek-a-boo look-see of X-Men Origins: Wolverine (in cinemas later this week), and the good news is, it’s a right laff – basically just a series of mental fights strung together by daft dialogue, which is exactly what a comic-book movie should be. There are cool bits with ninja swords, cool bits with tanks getting punched, cool bits with guns getting reloaded and, of course, cool bits with metal claws coming out of a hairy dude’s hands. Oh, and the opening-credits sequence is probably the best thing ever.
If we were to create some kind of fancy graph detailing how much we’ve enjoyed recent superhero movies, we’d put X-Men Origins: Wolverine a bit below Iron Man, way above X-Men 3, slightly above Watchmen, and below The Dark Knight. Is that all clear? Go and fetch a pen and draw it all on a bit of paper if it’s not.
