a more serious eastern theme

Rating: 9/10 (3 August 2013)

I really enjoyed this film. Very solid story line and pacing. Very emotional as well, with solid performances from pretty much everyone. There is no doubt that Hugh Jackman is the Wolverine. Kudos to HJ, he puts everything into it and it shows. OH ya, HE's RIPPED TOO!!!
Nice twist near the end with some shocking outcome. This movie also sets up a new character, of which we will most certainly re-visit sometime down the road.
I would give it a 10, but although I enjoyed the seductive Viper character, many questions are left open concerning history and purpose. But then again, like other XMEN films, we are often teased with new character's only to have them taken away before we get to really know or understand them. (AKA - like Gambit in X-Men Origins: Wolverine). Pretty tight action scene's with a bit of jerky camera work, but for the most part you can follow the action.(I prefer stop/slow motion as in 300, it's prettier...like nice artwork).
Go see it. Great summer Block Buster for sure!
