Tomatometer Watch: Is Wolverine Marvelous?

From: rottentomatoes.com

Read on to see if the critics feeling this solo outing from the most famous X-Man

As much as audiences love the blockbuster genre of the comic book movie, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is only the second such adaptation to hit screens in all of 2009. (Can it fare better than the first comic book movie of the year, Watchmen?) While that film's odyssey to the screen was decades-long, Wolvy's beleaguered trip is also nothing to sniff at, overcoming reshoots, publicized debates between director Gavin Hood and Fox, and the recent leak of the Wolverine work print, which was downloaded illegally hundreds of thousands of times. So come Friday, will fanboys be in love? Does Hugh Jackman's reprisal of one of comicdom's most beloved characters hold up?
