Wolverine dominated the box office this weekend

By looking at the number of showtimes they have and the great sold out they have for this newly released film, you would have known that this week's box office is dominated by none other than X-Man Wolverine. We have been wanting to watch The International for a week but only have the time to watch it this week but we realised that the show time for the International was very limited (so that they can screen Wolverine or response for The International was no good? This we can't be sure...). In the end, we caught Wolverine on Fri and tried our luck on Sat for The International... Our verdict: Wolverine reins (The x-men fan likes it while I like Hugh Jackman fab bod :P ) and The International was a disappointment (because of the upsetting ending).

Hugh Jackman reprises the role that made him a superstar - as the fierce fighting machine who possesses amazing healing powers, retractable claws and a primal fury. Leading up to the events of X-MEN, X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE tells the story of Wolverines epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program. Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe whose appearances in the film series have long been anticipated.
