Set roughly twenty years before X-Men, the film will focus on Wolverine's violent past and his early encounters with William Stryker (Danny Huston). Wolverine lives a mutant life, seeks revenge against Victor Creed (who will later become Sabertooth) for the death of his girlfriend, and ultimately ends up going through the mutant Weapon X program

Jackman as Wolverine...

Jackman says he fell in love with the Wolverine character a decade ago for much the same reason fans embrace the comic books. "The character has always reminded me of Dirty Harry or Han Solo," Jackman says. "He's a good guy, not a nice guy. He's got a lot of flaws, which I think is what people find so attractive about him and the X-Men. He's struggling with who he is and what he wants. He was one of the comics' first anti-heroes."

About Wolverine
Wolverine is a superhero that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in Incredible Hulk #180 (October 1974) and was created by writer Len Wein and Marvel art director John Romita Sr. Wolverine later joined the X-Men's "All New, All Different" roster in Giant-Size X-Men #1 (May 1975)

Born James Howlett and commonly known as Logan, Wolverine is a mutant, possessing animal-keen senses, enhanced physical capabilities, retracting bone claws, and a healing factor that allows him to quickly recover from virtually any wound, disease or toxin, enabling him to live beyond a normal human lifespan. This healing ability enabled the supersoldier program Weapon X to bond the near indestructible metal alloy adamantium to his skeleton and claws.

Watchmen

Originally published as a 12 issue DC comics series by Alan Moore, Watchmen is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the Doomsday Clock -- which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union -- moves closer to midnight.

Movie Consenus: Visually powerful, intense and uncompromising, Watchmen is an epic comic-book film whose technical and thematic strengths overwhelm its narrative shortcomings. (source: rottentomato)

Book (Comic) Rating
"A work of ruthless psychological realism, it's a landmark in the graphic novel medium. It would be a masterpiece in any."-TIME, TIME MAGAZINE's 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to the present

Movie Rating

The movie is definitely worth seeing, especially if you are a fan, but it won't be one of those movies where you have to see it twice or three times. Plus if you can endure for 2 1/2 hours.
