yes use joints. if you do not know how download the free joints tutorial (very basic), if you have points download one of the hand joint tutorials.

(the free joint tutorial will not show u how to animate, just how to work wit joints).

wit joints you can make it very realistic... i think.

hehe try adding more joints i guess, for each bend add a skeleton joint. i'm not very familier wit the movement, but pressing INSERT is usefull when u want to move only a specific joint.
