Boring, Yawn, Once was Enough

Rating: 2/10 (3 August 2013)

I am certainly not an expert on X-Men and the Wolverine. I only wished I had read some reviews before I went to see this. I like Hugh Jackman, but the plot and the pace of this film were too boring. It starts out interesting enough but it is downhill from there. 75% of the film IMHO is violent. The fight scenes could have been shortened for at least 30 minutes. The film is 126 minutes long. I could have tolerated it better if it was 96 minutes long. I left it feeling I had wasted my time, and I would definitely not recommend it to my friends. I am not a fan of violence coupled with a non-engaging plot. I found myself wanting it to be over long before it was. The action scene fight on the Bullet train made me think of Skyfall the James Bond movie which had a train scene fight as well. That movie was so much better than this. The PG-13 rating should be more of an R because of so much violence and adult topics. It's best for the over 17 audience, not the early teens.
