Adamantium, all over the place

Rating: 7/10 (12 October 2013)

What makes the Mutants so cool that it has spread into a franchise of six movies with the seventh one in the making? Some of the fans would say "multiple superheroes at the price of one ticket". Many others would agree to a different answer: The Wolverine.
That perhaps is the only reason why Wolverine features in every X-men movie, an honor that no other mutant enjoys. Several reasons to this: retractable Adamantium claw, ripped off body & above all, Invincibility.
"The Wolverine" is a bold attempt in many ways. Unlike other X men movies where you get to see various mutants alongside Logan, this one is pretty much a one man show. This movie also brings out the emotional coefficient of Logan in almost every scene, something which become irritating at one point.
Logan is almost convinced that "Invincibility can indeed be a curse". But if living across centuries, not aging one bit and getting the attention of every beauty on the planet can be a curse, then somebody please curse me.
The action sequences do not disappoint but one must have the patience to sit through the lecture class between the action scenes.On the whole the movie seemed a bit slow, mainly because of the one man show and it was hard to even imagine "pain" and "Wolverine" in the same sentence.
The only consolation in this movie was Hugh Jackman himself. Playing the same role in seven (including the one in making) different movies is not something that every actor can imagine of (Unless you are Harry potter & Co). However ironic it may sound, with that huge sideburns, we might as well start calling Jackman as "Hairy Potter".
I hope the Wolverine trilogy ends on a high note.
