My review for The Wolverine

Rating: 5/10 (29 February 2016)

This happened to be on Channel 4 last night and I decided to watch bits and pieces of it. The film is another attempt of Wolverine's backstory and this time the film opens in Japan where Wolverine(played by Hugh Jackman)is saving someones live from an atomic bomb and we later see Wolverine dreaming about Jean Grey(Famkee Jansen)who died in X Men 2 but was resurrected in X Men 3 Last Stand only for Wolverine to kill her in the process. He keeps getting dreams of her and is now living it rough in a cave where he meets a bear. We later see him teaming up with some Chinese girl and he tries to protect another girl's life in Japan as her life is in danger. There is also this guy who is dying apparently and the old man wants Wolverine's powers but he declines. Eventually he does lose his immortality for a bit and its up to Wolverine to retrive his powers again and save the day.
Overall I found this film OK. Its not in my honest opinion as good as X Men Orgin's Wolverine as that film had a proper backstory but a lot of critics hated that film saying it was all over the place. The director of The Wolverine is of course James Mangold who also directed the romantic fantasy comedy also starring Hugh Jackman and Meg Ryan Kate & Leopold another movie that I love to watch and consider my favourite Hugh Jackman movie. Also Mangold directed Walk The Line.
Hugh Jackman is Wolverine,like Micheal Keaton as Batman or Jim Carrey as The Mask,I cannot picture anybody else as Wolverine as he plays Wolverine with so much power you think that Jackman is a bad ass but in reality his the complete opposite and sometimes I wish Jackman would star in more light-hearted films like Kate & Leopold where his not stabbing people with his metal claws. But hey if you love X Men and the charcther Wolverine than check it out.
Not the best in the franchise but still its an OK movie.
