The best character study CBM since Batman Begins

Rating: 9/10 (28 July 2013)

The Wolverine is a very down to earth film that offers us a great look at who Wolverine is, whats it like to be him and how he can find purpose in a life full of tragedy and constant struggle. It really shows you what its like to be a man like Logan, what are the advantages, what are the disadvantages and how can you find purpose in life that can never truly end but most importantly it makes us care about Wolverine for the first time on the big screen.The action scenes are expertly shot and the fighting choreography is among the best I've seen all year (the train fight and the duel between Shingen & Wolverine are particularly amazing). All the performances are great with Hugh Jackman's Wolverine being the one that really steals the show and all around its a great film held back by some small problems such as some things being poorly explained and the romance having too many cliché glancing moments between Logan and Mariko to beat us over the head that these two will have a romance.
