I liked Hugh Jackman and Liev Schreiber together.  They were great!  I also liked Ryan Reynolds and that Kitsch kid who played Gambit, but I agree that they didn't get enough screentime.  Most of the other roles, save Danny Huston as Stryker, were pretty "blah".  I felt the film could have thrived more if they spent more effort filling out some of the supporting characters and making the storytelling a little smoother (like for one; they never told us how "Jimmy" got his new name, Logan).   The hidden epilogue at the end, however vague, hopefully means they're going to rock out another Wolverine movie, but I'd like to see a different filmmaker take a crack at it.  I just don't think this one cut it...
