This is the first movie produced by Hugh Jackman's production company. Hugh Jackman is listed as starring in a spin off Wolverine movie, also produced by his new production company. I have a feeling a deal was struck, so you probably have at least one more Hugh Jackman/Wolverine movie to enjoy.
I'm looking forward to Prestige, where Jackaman plays one of a pair of feuding stage magicians from around 100 years ago. The novel was a big success, I love the subjet matter and they've cast David Bowie as Nokola Tesla. Sounds like my kind of movie!
With this X Men movie two of my three kids who have already seen it were only semi impressed, but they both had tons of details on the movie. It was mostly what could have been better, but they were clearly engaged and enjoyed it. I mostly want to see it for Kelsey Grammer as Beast. The clips I've seen look great.
In my opinion, the first movie was so-so, the second one was very good, this one is awesome. In every sense of the word - phenomenal acting by Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry and that other chick who's the key to the plot, but whose name escapes me. Kelsey Grammer is a very believable Beast and he has the exact presence that his character demands - and that voice is perfect for it.
The story is not betrayed by cutesy acting and the suspension of disbelief is impressive (think 'Lord of the Rings').
The final 15 minutes or so contains one of the most fantastic - and 100% realistic special effects scenes ever filmed. I don't want to say more so as not to spoil the surprise - when you see it you will know what I am talking about...
