The Wolverine - A Review

3 Stars - Okay

The Wolverine is the latest film in the X-Men series. It follows X-Men 3 in the timeline seeing Wolverine distraught by guilt pulling his life together through a samurai adventure... only a kind of boring samurai adventure with no good villains.

For starters this film, as with most of the X-Men films gets a good amount of stuff right, the character development for Wolverine is solid and the follow up of his guilt over killing Jean in X-Men 3 is welcome. However the plot of the film is fairly bland and the action is okay at best. The villains might just be the worst in any of the films, nothing remotely memorable anywhere.

Sorry, what is it you do again?

In short, I'd say maybe wait for TV unless you're a die-hard X-Men fan, also when you do watch wait for a mid-credits scene, it's better than the rest of the film.
