The Wolverine's superb caliber makes up for its lack of witty dialogs and excellent script.

Rating: 8/10 (28 July 2013)

Just like any other film I am a big fan of, I would have watched The Wolverine in its first opening day but due to conflicting schedule, I went on to watch it three days after it premiered in local cinemas.
The Wolverine, also known as Wolverine 2, has no solid story arc to boast. I can't say the story is great: it is actually quite overused I felt like I have seen it in other movies. The conversations are very trivial, unlike its predecessors X-Men Origins and the X-Men films. Yet these aspects didn't prevent me from sitting until the end of the credits, because first of all, I am a big fan of Wolverine and the X- Men, which are among the few superhero characters I haven't outgrown yet and probably, will not. Second, the movie proved to be very entertaining in every manner. The visual effects, the fight scenes, and the cinematography are outstanding. The Wolverine's superb caliber makes up for its lack of witty dialogs and excellent script.
Hugh Jackman demonstrated once more that he is indeed the only man who possesses the right to be Wolverine. The supporting Japanese characters added humor, drama, and thrill to the movie. Russian actress Svetlana Khodchenkova spiced up the movie with her maleficent character. Famke Janssen's small but pivotal role as Jean Grey added vulnerability to the Wolverine character and to the movie itself. James Mangold turned The Wolverine into an explosive and impressive movie.
Overall, The Wolverine is a perfect movie for X-Men fans and explosive and entertaining movie seekers.
