Depth for a Favored Character

Rating: 9/10 (11 August 2013)

When going to see an X-Men film I always expect interesting and intense fight scenes, a collage of new characters/powers and the occasional bit of wry humor. The Wolverine did not disappoint on any of those fronts. If anything it took said criteria and honed them to a sharp point. Rather than blasting us with a slew of new faces and abilities I was introduced to only a few additions. What, might you ask,filled the rest of the film? Depth, this film delves into Logan's emotions in a way none of the others have before.
Personally, I found this to be a positive factor. While the previous films were indeed favorites of mine, I always wished that we would get a better chance to "know" some of the more prominent characters. In the previous wolverine film the story revolved around explaining his past.
All in all, this film is a great representation of a Logan's personal struggles with the added benefit of some great secondary characters.
