A Well-Choreographed Martial Arts Film That Also Happens To Be About Wolverine...

Rating: 7/10 (25 May 2019)

Hugh Jackman worked his *ss off for the role of Wolverine - most actors wouldn't change their lifestyle in a way that allowed them to have the body of a superhero. Rila Fukushima shines as a supporting actress - she looks plenty sexy in her fight scenes with that dyed red hair, wearing that skirt. Also, the location shooting in Japan (and primarily Australia) was a good decision. The movie is a little long - a little too long... but, I couldn't bring myself to deduct points for the excessive length. All around, The Wolverine (2013) is a solid installment of a superhero franchise that can stand alone as a well-choreographed action/martial arts film.
