Like Shaking a Soda and Popping the Cap

Rating: 6/10 (9 December 2013)

It starts off exciting enough but by midway through it fizzes out and ends up just making a mess everywhere. Jackman is great as Wolverine and his dedication to the role is admirable. I would have liked to seen the story grounded a little more as the world this movie exists in is definitely not a real one. Fight scenes are abundant and well done but a little too numerous and non-consequential. Plot annoyances arrive in the form of an unnecessary love interest and a giant ninja robot. Also, everyone in this film is a ninja because, you know, everyone from Japan is. If you like ridiculous action and overly staged fight scenes, then this will appeal. It feels like something a 15yr old would like, and I suppose that is where the target audience would be. Not a bad flick and worth the view if you are a fan of the Wolverine.
