A Warning for Parents

Rating: 7/10 (26 July 2013)

As fun as this movie is, don't be misled by its PG-13 rating. The "F-Bomb" is dropped quite often in this film along with other words of the obscene variety. If you can duct tape your children's ears, they will love the visuals which fortunately are fairly bloodless. Otherwise, this is a comic book come to life with Hugh Jackman channeling Clint Eastwood and following the standard Marvel script of a mighty industrialist/genius either using his powers for Good or surrendering to the Dark Side. The ending, in which we are treated to some sort of Samurai-Voltran almost ruined the movie but not quite. Check your brain at the door, ogle at Jackman's ripped physique and enjoy the ride.
