Fuzzy Wolverine

Rating: 5/10 (13 February 2016)

Like James Bond in You only live twice, Wolverine turns Japanese which adds some exotic Japanese locations and actions to the mix but the plot is so hackneyed and nonsensical as it makes no sense whatsoever and it really lets the film down.
The X-Men universe is getting to be tiresome despite getting rejuvenated a few years earlier in X-men: First Class only then to make another stand alone Wolverine film which reverses the good work they did in the prequels and quickly sours the freshness.
Hugh Jackman might have got comfortable with his hair and claws but he needs better material. The action scenes are good with plenty of CGI and special effects but the story has been sliced and diced by a Hattori Hanzo Samurai sword.
