Exploding with as much entertainment value as Hugh Jackman has muscles, Wolverine is a dazzling comic book fantasy in which the characters, storytelling, action and special effects are perfectly balanced. That is no mean feat - when you are talking about the complexity of plot involving the evolution of mutants with supernatural powers and their susceptible emotional state - but Gavin Hood is the right man for the job. It is as though Jackman has elevated his skills to new heights and his ability to couple brute force with vulnerability is the key. The film is a fast-paced spectacle filled with action, drama, romance, wry humour and technical wizardry, catering for a sophisticated audience. At the risk of sounding trite, it's simply Marvel-lous.
