Some Good Action, Some Good Drama, Not Enough Details to Care

Rating: 7/10 (29 July 2013)

I feel like somewhere there exists a really good script for this movie. Perhaps in the comics? I'm not a comic fan, in fact I've never read any comics at all. But I still love films based on comics.
Only two parts of the movie were good in my opinion. First is Hugh "Caveman Hugh" , or Logan have a little marking territory squabble with a bear. Hiliarous! Come 30 minute later he is slashing it up with some bad guys on a 300 mph bullet train. Awesome concept, I think a first in cinema.
Everything else was either bland or unexplained. For example the last action scene was extremely bland. It was not thrilling or suspenseful at all, because hey "We've seen the previews" , we know the bad guys won't beat him because he has to fight the super metal soldier later.
The unexplained stuff, is the the red haired girls relationship with the villain girl. It seemed like the director showed her knowing more with her looks in the beginning. But in the end they just make her to be innocent. Also what the story between the Logan and Mariko, the story between Mariko and her ex-by archery guy, the really messed up family dynamic. The relationship between the father and the archery guy... everything seems like it is linked somehow, but nothing was really explained well. A lot of possible drama in there with an interesting story, however they just gave us glimpses of it.
