What happened? All talk and little action.

Rating: 3/10 (18 November 2013)

When I heard they were making another Wolverine movie I was excited as were a lot of other people. The first film was a bit mediocre but there was a good amount of action that kept me interested. The Wolverine is a different story.
The film begins in Japan during the war that took place several decades ago. When the bombs begin to drop, Logan protects one of the Japanese soldiers from being killed and years later the man he saved reaches out to him to give him thanks before he croaks over but little does he know he is brought to Japan for another reason and has his powers stripped away and forces him to go on a journey to stop those responsible.
The movie is very talkative. I actually watched the extended version which is almost 2 hours and 20 minutes but during that span little action takes place and when it did it left me very disappointed. The action did not really start until 40 minutes into the film. There were a few funny moments but the writing was weak and the acting for the most part atrocious. The film did gross more then the first wolverine installment but films that deal with members of the Xmen or the Avengers will always for the most part be a box office success. The Wolverine is a 3/10 film in my opinion
