X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Not bad at all - Siobhan L
The story beings the day that Logan gets his powers and continues right until Patrick Stewart walks into the story (yes walks - possible other 'origins' prequal to tell?). Schreiber plays the older and more agressive of the brothers who have a falling out. Jackman shows why he's an A-lister and the women like him. We don't see as much of Ryan Reynolds as we might have but the fight scenes at the end are dizzing. Not sure what the rating is but the audience was full of 6 yos who seemed to take it in their stride.
