A pleasant journey into wolverine character development

Rating: 8/10 (26 September 2013)

Well, the wife liked it, and usually that's a big thumbs down from the guys, but for once, I have to agree with her! I really enjoyed this movie, from several angles.
I really liked the fleshing out of Logan's character, and think they pulled it off. I really enjoyed the Japanese setting, the on the run type movie very much like Bourne Identity, and liked the plot twist of Logan's sudden vulnerability. Super heroes are much more enjoyable when they are mortal, which is why I've always despised Superman...
The ninjas were, horrible, knowing full well what that is all about and being one, the modern ninja is the yakuza assassin, not the clown costume bozos in this movie who give bujinkan a bad name... Enough on that, yes I see you tracing my IP...
Perhaps the one flaw in this movie was the ending, which tried to 'sew a pig stomach explosion into a Gucchi bag'. Too many twists trying to weave together, too many characters suddenly acting COMPLETELY DIFFERENT at the end of the movie to fit a plot twist (GOD I HATE THAT TRICK!!) All in all though, a definite watch for all Wolverine fans, as I am, having named my son LOGAN and all ;)
