While I can appreciate making a film about worn out and beaten down superheroes, I didn't think this story was anything special. It's still mutants battling villains without the leather costumes or caped pajamas. Yes, Jackman and Stewart are really good but the story is nothing to get excited over. It features Professor X and the Wolverine as we've never seen them before but I much prefer them when not so depressed and desperate.
One thing that did surprise me, and not in a pleasant way, was the over-the-top gore. I guess folks who have always wanted to see the real damage inflicted by Wolverine's razor sharp claws got their wish. Pay attention to the R-rating. This superhero movie is not for the kiddies or the squeamish.
