Best Adventure Film Of The Year

Rating: Null/10 (19 December 2013)

This is a wonderful film on every level. I honestly prefer my summer films to have substance and be more than just "mindless popcorn entertainment". To me, a movie achieves excellence when judging them by these things: If the film was able to capture the heart of the story while fleshing out complete characters that are challenged by meaningful obstacles. If the use of CGI and effects were wisely chosen and used to further the plot itself. If the movie used its own ideas and is well structured. If an adventure film truly thrills and delivers intrigue. And finally, if the actors, cinematographers, and producers were able to flow with the director's vision and deliver using their own particular craft.
That being said, The Wolverine works on all those levels.
