If you can get by the fact that the story operates within the constraints of the comic, this is a great film. I think for true fans, the best part of this film is the fact that Wolverine finally realizes his true potential as an animal and dominates later in the film. Throw in a few classic lines ('I'm the best there is at what I do') and some new and awaited characters (Gambit) and the film delivers for fans and those casual watchers who don't take their comic boom films too seriously.
