While it's hard to not slot in the first X-Men as the one that started it all, 2003’s X2delivered the Wolverine action that fans had been waiting a lifetime to see. Wolverine’s merciless defense of Professor X’s (Patrick Stewart) school and students during the raid sequence remains one of the most incredible action sequences in comic book history, ...
Darren Aronofsky’s riveting drama crosses between three timelines, with one set in the distant past of conquistadors, one set in the modern day of medical research, and one set in a galactic space opera in the distant future. While it’s hard to grasp your hands around the complex themes of fate, destiny, and eternity that Aronofsky is dealing with,...
Given Jackman’s storied history on stage, he’s the ideal person to cast in a film about the very nature of theatricality. Christopher Nolan’s dazzling magician movie pits Jackman head-to-head with Christian Bale as a pair of rival illusionists that attempt to outdo each other with each subsequent show and trick. In The Prestige, Jackman shows the o...
Les Miserablesis one of the most decorated musicals of all time, and any adaptation for the big screen was going to face steep expectations. Les Miserables doesn't entirely work due to Tom Hooper’s confusing directorial choices, but Jackman is nonetheless electrifying as Jean Valjean. He delivers empowering renditions of classics like “Who Am I” an...
Jackman’s darkest role isn’t in an X-Men movie but in Denis Villeneuve’s haunting mystery thriller.

His training regime is goofy and a little unusual, but Perry is ulti...
Loganis not only the best film featuring Jackman’s Wolverine, but one of the greatest comic book movies ever made. Logan is a film that is strictly for adults, as the film received a rare R-Rating for a superhero film due to the excessive violence. It’s a gripping drama about mortality, parenthood, and the struggle of loneliness, and Jackman conten...
The Greatest Showman is a fairly generic musical that became a sensation thanks to the electrifying musical numbers; Jackman oozes so much charisma as he waltzes across the screen that it’s easy to overlook how inaccurate the film is to the real history of P.T. Barnam. While the film’s elaborate musical numbers, notably “The Greatest Show” and “Fro...
It’s unfortunate that The Front Runnerperformed so poorly with both critics and audiences because it’s a rather insightful film about the realities of modern politics. With his performance as the publicly shamed Presidential hopeful Gary Hart, Jackman isn’t trying to admonish the man, but rather look at an unprecedented situation through his eyes. ...
Bad Education allows Jackman to bring out his performative qualities to play a character who is pulling a greater con than anyone realizes. He stars as Dr. Frank Tassone, the superintendent behind the biggest educational embezzlement scheme in modern American history. Tassone runs his administration like a political campaign, and we see over the co...
