An Ugly Violence, Emotionaless Superhero Movie

Rating: 7/10 (11 January 2019)

7 March 2017. Unlike Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lector, Hugh Jackman as Logan isn't very likable in this movie. He's stubborn to the point of being almost dumb about his decisions, allowing bad things to happen to him Even a wolf would probably be even more intelligent, resilient, and resourceful than this version of Wolverine. The relationships between characters are stilted and not very meaningful. The plot lurches from one engagement to the next more like a video game than a thoughtful and emotive storyline. Even the predictable ending seems strained by the inability of the team of characters to really offer up a sensible and more likely scenario for a climatic ending. Too many people are slaughtered in this movie that needlessly went to their deaths because of superhero ignorance or drunkenness. By the end of the movie the redeeming value that somehow was patched together at the end, isn't that convincing or memorable.
