I was told before I went to see this movie that it did not live up to the comics. I never read the comics so I had nothing to compare this to. My husband and I saw it and thought it was a GREAT movie! It IS different from the other X-men movies in that this takes place before mutants are common knowledge. But it fills in all of the gaps for Wolverine life. I recommend it to anyone who has read the comic and to those that just love the X-men movies.
