I saw D&W yesterday and I was blown away by the acting Hugh Jackman brought to it. I’ve always been a little skeptical of him as Wolvie because I’m a comic fan and Wolverine is supposed to be small and nasty - not tall and pretty and kind and into musicals. Like Hugh Jackman is. When Hugh Jackman hosted the Oscars it hurt my brain to see him pirouetting and tap dancing and singing.
But after yesterday: fucking respect man. He made Wolverine his. The comic Wolverine is still there and always will be but Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine is now legit in its own right in my mind, forever.
The whole film helped honestly the way they costumed him and choreographed his claws-out squats. But he for sure brought every acting chop there is to the close ups. No one will ever take heartfelt acting seriously in a gonzo film like this, but I did. Tear to my eye.
In one of the original XMen trilogy BTS he acknowledged that he was playing against type. He said he would start his day shooting in the Canadian winter with a cold shower, because it set him on edge and gave him the intensity and low-level anger he needed to play the part. Definitely worth checking out those movies if you liked him here.
They actually made one from when he was living in France in the early 1800s. It was before his mutant power’s had fully manifested to the point they are in the comics. It’s called the Les Miserables.

Thank you Mr. Jackman. All the respect.
I don’t understand… He already accomplished that earlier this century.
It took me until now to be sold. Thats just me.

I want a Wolverine musical, dammit!

I loved how they showed how dumb tiny wolverine would have looked.
