The Wolverine Title Everyone Was Waiting For?

Rating: 6/10 (2 August 2013)

The X Men series has always been an OK one for me. They weren't bad movies, but there were so many better outlets out there. However, I am kind of excited for what they're going to do for Days of the Future Past, and apparently this is a setup to it? It's not, it's a story on its own and for the most part it has some strong moments to it. Hugh Jackman gives a great performance as always, and it has a decent supporting cast. This takes place after the awful X 3 the Last Stand, so it's best to read up on this or major spoilers! For a PG-13 movie it's shockingly violent. It does make for some great action, but still the amount is pretty severe for an X Men movie. It goes all out at the very end, but that's when it goes all cartoonish on us. It is such a change in tone from the gritty first two acts. I actually liked the grit, he was going through some horrible emotional stuff and they do not sugar coat it. However, Hugh Jackman's performance is worth the watch and the action is excellent, go if you feel like it.
