It is very easy to forget this, because he made X-Men (and to a lessor extent Wolverine) more than watchable by delivering a better performance that expected in a Comic Book movie.
.
And Mr. Jackman is great on stage - London and New York He has won the respective Best Stage Actor awards playing "Curly" in Oklahoma and fey "Peter Allen: The Boy From Oz". And he has a wonderful ease live hosting stage shows (Oscar's, Tony's etc.).
.
An so it is easy to forget that most of his non-X-Men work on film has been yawns (I'm looking at you Kate and Leopold) to muddled (The Fountain) or both (Australia!)
.
With that in mind, I hope he is pulling a huge paycheck of Real Steel - which seems to be Rock'em Sock'em Roberts: The Movie. It looks to me like it should be titled Real Crap.
