If you were a big X-Men fan I can see why you would enjoy this more than others. I never read any comics as a kid so I had no expectations beyond what the films themselves had to offer. I found them likable enough but not particularly memorable - though I do agree with you that this is the best of the bunch. I particularly liked the battle between Wolverine and that chick with the claws. And yes Jackman is great as Wolverine. He's pretty much great all the time though.
